Description
The Shaper Bar takes the wearbar design and performance to a new level! This bar offers a unique shape that provides much better turning than conventional bars and offers a 20% weight savings too! The concave side profile on the Shaper Bar grabs and holds snow rather than allowing snow to slip by like other wearbars. While the shape of this bar improves the turning radius of your sled on the trail, the large 60º carbide provides great control and wear on hard surfaces. The "Shaper" Bar is the original and still the best handling wearbar in the industry since 2002. Made from "cold rolled steel" to the patented shape with large 60° degree cutting carbide for durability and precise handling. The concave side profile grabs and holds snow for better and more precise turning. NOTE: Now E-coated in a corrosion-resistant black finish (may receive zinc plated bars -depending on stock). Sold in pairs.

Vehicle Information
Polaris Indy 500 Snowmobile (1989-2006)
The Polaris Indy 500 is a legendary snowmobile model produced from 1989 to 2006, known for its versatility and robust performance. Throughout its run, it was primarily powered by a reliable 488cc liquid-cooled, two-stroke twin engine. This model served as a cornerstone in Polaris's lineup, offering a balance of power and rideability for various snow conditions. Over its long production span, the Indy 500 saw several key updates and trim variations. Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) was introduced in 1992, enhancing performance and efficiency. In 1994, the model transitioned to the "Evolved" body style, featuring a more modern, rounded design. Performance-oriented XC SP trims, often equipped with a distinct 500cc engine from 2000 onwards, and deep-snow specific RMK versions were also introduced, catering to diverse rider needs. These changes ensured the Indy 500 remained competitive and adaptable. FAQ:
