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 WideTrak 488 Snowmobile (1990-2003)
The Polaris Indy WideTrak 488, produced from 1990 to 2003, was a robust utility snowmobile known for its reliability. It consistently featured a 488cc liquid-cooled, 2-stroke, 2-cylinder engine, generally rated at 65 horsepower. This powerplant was a well-established and dependable choice for Polaris's utility lineup, designed to handle demanding tasks. Throughout its production, the core 488cc liquid-cooled engine and platform remained largely consistent. The evolution within the WideTrak line primarily involved refinements in features and naming conventions. Early models were sometimes called "Indy 500 Wide Track," transitioning to "Indy WideTrak," and later to the "Indy WideTrak LX" trim. The LX designation typically added features like electric start, reverse, and a hi/low transmission, enhancing its utility capabilities without a fundamental change in the vehicle's generation or engine. Q: Is this part compatible with my specific Polaris Indy WideTrak 488 model year?
