Opposition to Crush Protection
Some year ago, there was some very poor research conducted into rollover protection on quads. This caused some to falsely believe that crush protection may not have significant value, and therefore oppose their use. The following video shows how appalling that early research was! More information on the subject can be found in the technical library.
The Quadbar is essentially a bolt on attachment. Currently 1 kit should install on most quads that are fitted with a tow bar & rack. However some of the less popular bikes may require variations of the brackets.
Professional installation is recommended and it takes about ½ hr to fit, by an experienced mechanic.
The Quadbar fits:
Honda- All utility models 250cc and over*
Yamaha- All utility models 250cc and over*
Suzuki- All utility models 250cc and over*
Kawasaki- All utility models 250cc and over*
Kimco- All utility models 250cc and over*
Odes- All utility models 250cc and over*
Can-Am- All utility models up to 350 kg net weight*. Some models with optional rear bumper bar will require a rack extension plate and may be purchased as an accessory
Polaris- All utility models up to 350 kg net weight but for the 400 &500 models, an adaptor plate is available and may be purchased as an accessory. Contact QB Industries before ordering to ensure correct fitment.
*Excludes sports models. Fits utility models know to QB Industries up to a bare weight of 350 (770lbs) kg
