There is a reason so many RZR owners swap the front bumper early. The stock front end is mostly plastic, and the first stump, rock or tree trunk you misjudge on a tight trail will remind you of that.
The Polaris RZR S 1000 Prerunner Front Bumper from SuperATV, available at Wild Boar ATV Parts, gives the front of the RZR S 1000 real protection along with a winch mount in the same piece.
Protecting the front of the RZR
The front of a side-by-side holds a lot of parts you do not want to replace: the front plastics, the lights and the components behind them. On wooded trails, it is easy to nose into a stump or slide sideways into a tree. A front bumper takes that hit first. SuperATV designed this one to provide maximum protection for the RZR S 1000 while giving the machine a more aggressive, finished look.
A built-in winch mount
This bumper has an integrated winch mount. That is a big plus for anyone who plans to add a winch, because it means you do not need a separate mounting plate. The winch sits up front where it is most useful for pulling the machine out of a mud hole or up a slick bank.
If you already own a winch, check that its mounting pattern will work with the bumper before ordering. If you are shopping for one, a winch and bumper make a natural pair since they share the same install.
Prerunner style
The prerunner name comes from desert racing trucks, which use tube bumpers that are tough without being bulky. The style suits the RZR’s sporty look and keeps the front end open for airflow while still guarding it. For many owners it is as much about appearance as protection, and this bumper covers both.
Install and fitment
The bumper comes with all the hardware needed to install it, so this is a manageable afternoon job for most riders. It is made for the Polaris RZR S 1000. Polaris has built many RZR models with similar names, so confirm you have an S 1000 and check what accessories are already on the front of your machine.
