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.

Maintenance
| Component | Interval | Details |
| Oil Filter | Not applicable | Two-stroke engines do not have a traditional oil filter. Oil is mixed with fuel or injected and consumed during operation. Ensure the oil injection system functions correctly and use the recommended 2-stroke oil. |
| Spark Plugs | Annually (start of season) | Start each season with a fresh set of spark plugs. Inspect them regularly for wear and proper gap. |
| Drive Belt | Regular inspection, replace as needed | Inspect the belt for wear, glazing, or burn spots. Replace if damage is observed. |
| Air Filter | Every 50 hours or more often | Inspect frequently, especially in dusty conditions. Replace if the element is clogged, as it is often non-cleanable. |
| Coolant | Regular check (before each ride or seasonally) | Check level when cold. Pressure test system annually and inspect coolant strength seasonally. |
| General Lubrication | Every 75 to 250 hours or 1,600 km | Lubricate all fittings, pivots, and cables. Rear suspension pivot shafts may require lubrication every 1,600 km. |
| Annual / Pre-Season Inspection | Annually (before season) | Check spark plugs, lights, steering, track tension and alignment, hyfax/sliders, battery, drive belt, and carbides. |
