ORA got new site :-D

Looks good and now iPad/iPhone friendly.

They have removed a number of items due to lack of photos and perhaps for other reasons but I like it.

loving the new extreme front bumper i want 1 :evil: better start saving

the new front bumper looks good but at £438 :ohmy: no thanks

I think the price of the new bumper is just far to much. I got the older type when it was on offer, that was a much better price.

Agreed, the new one is expensive. But not comparable to the older HD winch bumper. I also bought the old one on offer some weeks ago, nice quality compared to price, but not at all suited for hardcore challenge use. And this is where the new expensive one comes in.

So expensive yes. But suited for extreme use.

Yup, you have hit the nail on the head... The new bumper is just that, a true HD competition bumper... we are also about to launch our new bolt on winch plate in the not so distant future which will fit inside of the stock Jimny bumper... which will fill the gap in the market between the "I need a winch green laning guys" and the hardcore competitors which we are starting to see emerge across Europe.

What about the pay and play day guys who also do a bit of laning and don't need such a bumper but do need a winch bumper like your old design Rob. Can you not continue your old one for them???

Doesn't bother me as my mate will fabricate anything not too fiddly for cheap but not everyone has a mate like mine or can afford that price - but your old one however - fitted the bill!

I agree with Kirkynut and would be pleased to see the old bumper still in production. Some of the trips we do are potentially quite damaging to bodywork by rocks and the like.The old style front and rear bumpers protect the corners very well which a mounting plate inside the original bumper would not do.Also, and I am sure you will have already checked this out Rob, are your new style bumpers road legal as they in effect have a 'bull bar'? Particularly for post '07 cars which these days are now not so 'new'.

Blimey some folks just have way to much time on their hands to think of questions and criticize other peoples decisions/products ... :lol:

The HD competetion bumper is just that... competition... no road... and as you should already be aware, "All ORA products are for off-road and competition use"... they have nor will ever be aimed at road going vehicles... hence the "off-road" in offroad-armoury...

There also many other reasons for the new designs, strength, weight, fit, manufacturing processes and material costs...

The new bumper is not even available to buy yet... so hold your horses before you get your knickers in a total twist about the price... this may change once they are properly in production... which will be approximately 2-3 months.

RB

I speak for myself and thought you would be interested to receive comments on your proposed products from a long standing customer of yours. I am also confused as to where your winch mounting plate would fit in as presumably this is aimed at road going vehicles, but you say none of your products are for road use.............
As I said before I find your existing bumpers very good for the type of off roading I do and would be sorry to see them discontinued.

Mmm, might be being a little harsh on us there Rob, and a little short sighted.

I'm hoping the smilies and the LOL mean your comments were tongue in cheek.

If not, I can spend my money elsewhere and was looking to spend some with you soon.
