UTV Tree Kickers

What UTV Tree Kickers Do and Why You Need Them

Take a sharp turn on a tight trail and your rear tire can catch a tree before you have time to react. One hook is all it takes to halt your momentum and tear up your bodywork, rear suspension, or both. Tree kickers are the fix. Mounted to the frame with sturdy mounting brackets, they extend past your rear wheels and deflect trees, rocks, and boulders before any of that trail debris can attack your machine. The sleek leaning design keeps the profile low and clean while providing excellent corrosion resistance, so your RZR stays protected without looking brutish.

SuperATV tree kickers onfueledutv.com are built from solid diameter steel tubing, hand-welded and finished with UV-resistant powder coating that fights rust through seasons of hard rides. Polaris RZR XP 1000 and Polaris RZR Turbo fitments bolt directly to OEM mounting locations. Some kits install with no drilling required; others include a drill guide to make the install fast and clean. Either way, the step-by-step instructions walk you through it so you can get tree kickers installed and back on the road in one afternoon. The best part is the look: the sleek leaning design shows off extreme style while doing a serious job, so your machine stays intact, and everybody on the trail knows you ride hard.

FAQ

Do UTV tree kickers work as nerf bars?

Many UTV tree kickers double as nerf bars. They provide excellent corrosion resistance while also serving as a step to get in and out of the machine. Check the individual product listing to verify which kits include step functionality.

Will SuperATV tree kickers fit my Polaris RZR XP 1000?

Yes. SuperATV makes tree kickers specifically for the Polaris RZR XP 1000. They bolt to Polaris-designated mounting brackets, so fitment is confirmed for that machine. Verify your model year on the product page before ordering.

How do I install SuperATV tree kickers on a Polaris RZR Turbo?

Install SuperATV tree kickers by following the included instructions. Polaris RZR Turbo kits bolt to OEM mounting points. Some kits require drilling with the included drill guide; others are fully bolt-on. A basic socket set is enough to complete the job.

What steel tubing size do tree kickers use?

SuperATV tree kickers use 1.5" diameter steel tubing on RZR Turbo models and 1.75" diameter steel tubing on RZR XP 1000 models. Both are built to take hits from trees, rocks, and boulders without bending.

How do tree kickers protect my rear suspension?

Tree kickers extend past your rear tires so that trees and rocks effortlessly slide away from your machine instead of catching your wheels. On a tight trail, that contact point is what saves your rear suspension from taking a direct hit at speed.

Can tree kickers also protect against rock sliders damage?

Tree kickers and rock sliders solve different problems. Rock sliders protect your lower frame rails from boulders and curb strikes underneath the machine. Tree kickers protect the rear wheel area from catching trees on tight trails. Running both gives your UTV full side protection.

Does UV-resistant powder coating on tree kickers last?

The UV-resistant powder coating on SuperATV tree kickers provides excellent corrosion resistance through repeated trail abuse. It keeps the finish solid and the steel protected through wet weather, mud, and extended trail rides without peeling or fading quickly.
