\"SuperATV<\/a><\/p>\n

A Can-Am Defender Max is long. That extra length is great for hauling a crew, but it also means a lot of exposed body between the front and rear tires. Crest a sharp hump, slide sideways into a stump or brush against a boulder, and that long underside is what takes the hit.<\/p>\n

SuperATV’s Can-Am Defender Max Heavy-Duty Nerf Bars<\/a>, available at Wild Boar ATV Parts, put a line of steel along each side to take those hits instead.<\/p>\n

Why long machines need side protection<\/h2>\n

Wheelbase plays a big role in how often you scrape the sides. A shorter machine can tip over the top of an obstacle, while a longer one like the Defender Max is more likely to drag its belly or rocker area across it. Nerf bars add a sturdy rail along each side that protects the lower body from rocks, logs and trail debris.<\/p>\n

Built from steel tube<\/h2>\n

These nerf bars are made with 1.75-inch diameter steel tubing. SuperATV finishes them in a UV-resistant powder coat, which helps them keep their look after months of riding and parking outdoors. They are sold as a set of two, one for each side.<\/p>\n

Nerf bars also give passengers something solid to step on. On a Defender Max that carries a full crew, especially kids or older riders, that extra step helps when climbing in and out of the back seats.<\/p>\n
