Polaris Skid Plate

Just picked up a new RZR 900 Trail Black Pearl. I had a RZR 800 before and found that I bottomed out a lot in the rougher section of the trail we ride. I upgraded to the Polaris Aluminum skid on the RZR 800 and was pretty happy with it.

I was thinking of ordering a Polaris UHMW skid plate from my dealer, but had a few questions before I order:

– Did Polaris upgrade the stock skid with these new models? Is it sufficient for the occasional bottom out when trail riding, or should I be purchasing an upgraded skid as planned?
– I’m in Canada, so ordering from Factory UTV or one of the other forum sponsors seems like it’s going to be tough. Is the Polaris skid (part number 2880290) good, or should I be trying to figure out how to get the Factory UTV or other skid to Canada?
