which roll cage is the strongest?

Keep in mind what it's bolted to. I've had my plastic off, and I believe that what's under there will fail before most aftermarket bolt on cages.

With that being said, I still plan on buying a bolt on cage. The stock one is not engineered to be a roll cage. It will collapse into the passenger compartment in the event of anything besides sideways flop. I believe a well built aftermarket bolt on cage would be much safer than factory in the event of a bad wreck.

Well strongest is a relative term it can be the strongest in the world but if it doesn't bolt up cprrectly all of that strength is no good. Here are a couple of options.

Im trying to figure out what cage to get as well, the one thing i dont want is to have to remove the cage to get the rear plastic off. im thinking dragonfire's cage.

The FST cages leave plenty of room to get plastic off!!

What is the cage made with, how is it welded and how is it bent, is there a jig our questions to ask before you buy.
HotRide4u is one of the many great cages that are out there.

After seeing Pgreg's cage in person, it is made very well IMO. It appears to be one of the better looking cages that I have seen on RZR's

Gullwing doors for the RZR? Can neon undercarriage lights be far behind?

HOTRIDE4U · #9 (**permalink**) December 20th, 2007, 09:10 AM

People have already ordered fiber optic light for their undercarriage.

Look at the prices!!

If you make the cage yourself you can save. Legitimate businesses have to add in the cost of insurance, overhead, labor etc. Did your mfg use a jig, is it powder coated, how was it tested, what software are they using to run stress analyst, how long is the warrantee, did a part time person make it or was it a professional mfg engineer, what materials are being used etc... Just because it is the most expensive doesn't make it well made. Compare before you buy.

I know every time you ride there is a risk and I want the safest ride possible. You should check out your cage mfg like you would check out your doctor.

Say what you like, a gull wing set up for a door is a great idea. Hopefully there is never situation in which the obstruction of a caved in door would hinder getting out. I'm saving money for an awesome set up. Todd
