well the label on both say "x-factor" so i'd imagine they are both from that company....no idea where to get them though!

Ive talked to chad. Actually we had a discussion on FB awhile back about the nerfs he uses. And he said they use Rath nerfs.

ya def...I really like them. I went with DG because I had heard from a few pros and BCS performance that the Raths had a mounting problem on the DS. But agreed Raths are awesome nerfs

Contact Triumph Motorsports in Corona, CA as they are one of the top (if not the only distributor of the X-Factor products). You can reach them at 1-866-207-1447 and ask for Anthony Martin. Anthony tours many of the major West Coast quad events and is very knowledgeable on X-Factor applications to the DS-450. If you work him a little bit he will also give you a discount, but don't let him know I told you that.

I'll offer some advice and things I realized over the years.....seems to me after seeing several crashs w/this aluminum frame the nurfs are primary structural members(vs secondary like bumpers) in saving or preventing the frame from flex. Nurfs stabilize the frame under normal operating conditions and keep as much load as possible in the nurf in a crash....Things to look for at the attach points are big structure that take large bolts (1/4-5/8) that will take out loads before it reaches the frame, but not so large it transfers load to the frame. Nurfs made out of large diameter tubing will help too.

Have not seen the rest we run pro-armour, nice tight fit, large fasteners, large steel or thick alum pegs(important to fail here vs send load to the frame), large tubing...we flipped the quad couple times frame held up well.....

Good luck!

Yes they come with netted heel guards. They are by far the best nerf bars ive bought. Theyre aloot better than rath mainly because the space of the rear heel guard. I'd definitely recomend them.
