After seeing it on the 2011 I really wanted one. Finally got one and I should have saved my money. This bent out just from my boot catching it. I could just cut it off, but that defeats the purpose.
That is too bad. I have bashed and bashed my AXP with many large rocks and skidded over large rocks and have great experience with it. But also doesn't mean it is indestructible I guess.
They are pretty crappy skids. I ground through the "welds" on mine to the point it was seperating, my buds didnt last 3-4 rides on his 13 before the "welds" split open.
