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 XC 500 Snowmobile (2004-2007)
The Polaris XC 500, often known as the Indy 500 XC SP, is a high-performance snowmobile produced from 2004 to 2007. This model consistently featured a liquid-cooled, 2-stroke engine, primarily available in a single "XC SP" trim level, built on the prominent EDGE chassis.
For the 2004 and 2005 model years, the XC 500 was largely a carryover, equipped with an engine noted as either 488cc or 500cc. A significant update occurred in 2006, introducing a "domestic 500" engine (500cc, 105 hp) with variable exhaust, digital CDI with a throttle position sensor, and flat-slide carburetors. This year also saw a new clutch package, including the Team Industries LWT secondary clutch. These enhancements continued into the 2007 model year, maintaining the 105 hp output and advanced engine features. FAQ:
