Polaris RZR

 

Product Review - Skid Plate

Information:

The stock Polaris skid plate is pretty wimpy.  Combine that with low ground clearance, and that can spell disaster in rough terrain. Here are a few examples of what can happen to the belly of your RZR with the stock skid plate:

There are several skid plates made for the Polaris RZR, but I'm not a big fan of aluminum for UTV skids.  The reason is aluminum hangs up on rocks and gets gouged as you slide over them.   This is extremely important on trails like the Rubicon, Barrett Lake and Moab.

After searching around I found a company making skids using UHMW. UHMW (Ultra High Molecular Weight) is a extremely durable polymer that is used in many applications where abrasion resistance (the ability to slide over a rock) and impact resistance is critical. UHMW sounded like the perfect material for the type of skids I was looking for, so I decided to contact Holz Racing Products to get the ball rolling.
