These hand guards bolt right onto your 2021–2027 Polaris Sportsman 450 Ultimate Trail to keep that damage from happening. They're made from 1\/4\" thick UHMW plastic—the same tough material you'll find in heavy-duty skid plates and armor work—and they sit tight against your bike without getting in the way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat You Get\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne pair of 1\/4\" UHMW plastic hand guards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll bolts and hardware needed to mount them\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy This Matters\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUHMW plastic is built different.
