My third choice is the SuperATV, but I don't like it as much because of the very sharp looking points it has by the headlights... the thought of the Grizzly rolling on my and me being under one of those points does not sound very appealing.

Honestly, if your looking for strength, the Yamaha bumper is the way. My front stock bumper bent like butter from a minor hit, which in turn destroyed my fender, cracked the headlight mount, and snapped the mounting tabs off of the side panel. If i had the yamaha bumper on, none of that would have happened. I even tried straightening the stock bumper, and it was so mangled i couldnt get it right, even after heating it up with a oxy-acetylene torch.

Sure is better than my old moose bumper. I think the new one is bad a$$! I purchased the new moose bumper from my dealer through parts unlimited.

I have the Yamaha Bumper and I love mine it holds up well to the scrapes and the bangs. It does help strengthen the front end.

 Very true, haha. They should have used 1 1/4" tubing like the Yami HD bumper, would have been smarter.
