nerf bars/heelguards

[Blaster fool8]

What's the point of need bars when you don't have heel guards? Do they keep you from geting your foot from going to the axle or wheel? I just brought fox comp 5 boots. Do they keep your feet from going back because they go up to shins? I also would like to know the strengths and weaknesses for need bars and why there required for pro racing.

I broke my tibia and fibula in half. In the rear axle of my four wheeler.

Nerf or intrusion bars are required so that a competitor cannot lock wheels.

A very good reason for heel guards, no matter how good your boots are, if your rear wheel wants to eat your leg, it will.

i see so many people without heel guards but they only have nerf bars why is this?

that is bc the nerfs with heal guards cost a ton. but you can mod many differnt kinds of yamaha heal guards to fit. I think mine are raptor 350 or somthin like that. yfz ones work too with some modification

So your saying that you rather pay 40k on a two broken legs then 200 bucks? That doesnt make sense
