The back of a Polaris RZR XP 1000 takes more abuse than people think: backing into trees, sliding into rocks, getting tagged by a buddy in the dunes. This rear bumper wraps the taillights and rear plastics in 1.75" heavy-duty steel tubing, mounts straight to the frame, and still leaves the cargo bed fully accessible. It's styled to follow the RZR's lines and pairs with the matching 2" receiver hitch, and it fits both the XP 1000 and XP 4 1000.
Highlights
- Receiver-compatible design works with the matching rear hitch
- Heavy-duty 1.75" steel tubing protects the taillights and rear bodywork
- Frame-mounted construction handles hard trail impacts
- UV-resistant powder coating helps prevent chips, corrosion and fading
- Vehicle-specific fit for an easy, secure install
An Aggressive Rear Bumper
The XP 1000 is built for speed and power, so the rear end needs a brush guard that can stand up to heavy hits and extreme riding. This bumper keeps the back of the machine safe when things get wild, and the UV-resistant powder coat looks good doing it.
Thick Tubing Protects Taillights and Plastic
You get full top-to-bottom protection, not just a bar across the middle. The 1.75" diameter steel tubing wraps around the taillights and covers the vulnerable plastic bodywork, and it's tough enough to take major hits in rocks, on the trail, in mud and in the dunes.
Styled to Match the RZR
The bumper follows the aggressive angles of the RZR 1000 for a factory look with a little extra attitude. Machined end caps finish off the tube ends for a clean, durable look that the rider eating your dust will notice.
Pairs with the Rear Receiver Hitch
This bumper works perfectly with the matching 2" rear receiver hitch for the RZR XP 1000. Together, you can run a ball mount for towing or slide in a cargo rack, bike rack, and other hitch accessories.
Keeps the Bed Usable
Some rear bumpers get in the way of loading the bed. This one is designed so it does not obstruct access to the rear cargo area, so you can still drop a cooler or a tool bag in the back without reaching over a wall of tubing.
Choose Your Year
The bumper comes in Wrinkle Black, in two versions that match the frame hardware on your machine:
- 2014-2017 (with 16 mm socket)
- 2017-2023 (with 18 mm socket)
2017 machines can use either version, so check which socket size your rear frame bolts take before you order.

Common Questions
What does a rear bumper protect on a Polaris RZR XP 1000?
It protects some of the most vulnerable parts of the machine: the taillights, the rear plastics, and the frame when you back up into something or get bumped from behind. This one uses a full brush-guard design for top-to-bottom protection instead of only covering the center.
Will it fit my RZR?
It's designed specifically for the Polaris RZR XP 1000 and XP 4 1000, including the High Lifter and Trails and Rocks editions. Check the fitment table below for your year and model before ordering.
How is it stronger than stock?
It's built from 1.75" diameter heavy-duty steel tubing, far stronger than factory plastic and light-gauge metal, and it's powder coated for long-term corrosion resistance. It's made to take hard hits from rocks, trees and dunes.
Does it affect the rear camera?
Yes. The bumper blocks about the top 10% of the view on Ride Command rear cameras. Keep that in mind if you rely on the camera.
Can I install it at home?
Yes. It's a bolt-on install designed for the garage with standard hand tools, and step-by-step instructions are included.
Can I run a hitch with it?
Yes. It's designed to pair with the matching rear receiver hitch, which gives you a 2" receiver for towing and accessories like cargo racks or bike carriers.
Why so much focus on styling?
The bumper follows the factory lines of the RZR so it looks aggressive without looking out of place. Machined end caps and precise bends give it a finished look that matches the machine.
Is it built for hard riding?
Yes. It's built and tested for aggressive riding in rocks, mud, woods and high-speed trail conditions, and its frame mount is engineered to stay secure after repeated impacts.
Who It's For and What Pairs Well
This bumper is for RZR XP 1000 and XP 4 1000 owners who ride hard in tight terrain or in groups, and anyone who wants the taillights protected. Pair it with a front bumper from Polaris RZR XP 1000 bumpers, and add the matching receiver hitch and recovery gear from RZR XP 1000 winches and recovery.
