Badger Bumpers (+XR)

Well worth the money

Pros:
The bumpers are quite steezy. They hold up much better than stock, fully protect the battery box, and provide additional rail protection. They are also noticeably slicker than stock and have felt good for curb nudges and tail drags. Also, they're currently half the price of BANGs.

Cons:
The brackets, while an excellent idea, appeared to lack precision machining. Mine were bent slightly, causing both bumpers not to sit flush with the bottom of the board. I was able to correct this somewhat by bending them, but it still left gaps on the sides of the front bumper, which I sealed with super glue to keep excess dirt and water out. Secondly, one of the brackets had slightly misshapen screw threads in one hole, causing the black coating of the screws to strip off (tested with multiple screws), clog up the threading, and get the screws stuck half way in. I remedied this by applying lubricant to both the screw and bracket, driving the screw in to the point of clogging, retracting it out, then cleaning both the screw and bracket threads, and repeating many MANY times until all the screw's coating was removed and the screw would go all the way in without jamming.

All in all, very happy with my setup now, but it required a lot of extra work to overcome the defects. If it weren't for the reduced price and the fact that white BANGs were out of stock at the time, I'd say there is no reason to ge these over BANGs.

Good quality bumpers, could be improved slightly on fitment.

Love the badger bumpers

I was so impressed with the quality of my float life tire and the excellent service ordering and receiving it that I ordered float plates and badger bumpers once I realized my originals were trashed. I installed the bumpers and really like them, but I can’t figure out how to install the float plate. Do I need it?

I love the badgers but i feel that they are harder to nose drag because they are sticker but that’s my only complaint everything else is amazing

10/10 amazing product and fast delivery!

These are an awesome product they look great on my board and came with everything in the box (screws and brackets) highly recommend. Ps got a cool swag pack

Badger Bumpers (XR)

After installing I immediately regretted purchasing. Even thought the price was only $25, should have stuck with Bangs. Dislike the angle of the bumpers, seems mellow when doing nudges. The fit is sloppy with gaps. Badger Bumpers aren’t my cup of tea.

Bee knees

I bought these because they were the cheaper alternative the to BANG Bumpers, and now I see why. They're made of cheap plastic that chips and scratches very easily. I 'm learning how to nose drag and in total I've probably dragged 10 feet and and have riden these for just less than a month and I already hit screws!!! Now lets talk about the screws when you order the bumpers they it comes with a bag screws all different sizes and 4 brackets. This makes the process much harder because the holes don't line up and the instructions on the website isn't the best, making it much more overly complicated to install and the brackets that are meant to move the screws to a different area so that you hit screws after a lot a wear an tear but It only delayed grinding down the screws for maybe a week longer than Float Plates. So inconclusion, I don't think there any better than stock OEM bumpers so please DO NOT BUY!!! Save up a little more for the BANG Bumpers.

These bumpers are the best bumpers you can get for $50! My only complaint is that they were overly complicated to install with the brackets and different screw sizes. Small chunks of the bumper come off when you drag over small rocks. But so far no major issues.

Got a CBXR (big chonky boy) and didn't like forcing it into a stock box.
A bit of shaving to get her in, but wasn't bad. Got it all in first shot. Looking forward to the first ride.
Got a second box to drop a 18s2p into and can tell it'll slide in like butta.
Stoking

I bought this torque box after I stripped the threads in my stock battery box installing a CBXR. This box is much bigger than the stock battery box. The areas that you need to dremmel are slightly vague by the picture included….but just dremmel what you think is shown and then just keep cutting away. Did love the extra room for the wires to tuck in instead of sitting on top of the battery. Getting it closed is still a little tricky but is manageable. I recommend installing the screws by hand and not with a power drill. The bumper doesn’t sit flush but it’s fine. If you plan to put float plates on the back bumper you will need much longer screws. Overall…I am very satisfied with the product and my purchase. My CBXR fits nicely. Thank you Float Life!

Quality build and glad Badger is part of TFL team now for more exciting new creations.
The torque box fits so well with the bumper. Unless you really want matching bumpers, there's absolutely nothing wrong with the Torque bumper.

Way better then stock and float plates, these things are slick as ice.

Not only the board looks amazing, feels very sturdy and well protected but the thoughtful engineering design also protects the rails from scratches and impacts with very stylish and discrete (couple millimeters extra edges) flares on the front and back corners. Great design and upgrades with the anchor brackets inside that won't break and will resist any impacts compared with the bad design of the stock parts. Badger Rocks!

I love them so much

I love the badger bumpers. My controller box inserts went bad so these made it perfect with the screws being moved to a bracket (supplied with bumpers). I also love how they fit tiggt around controller box and battery box helping keep water from getting in (keyword is HELP).

Slick and black and oh so strong. Get some.
