Round Roll Bar = Perfect Fit for Dirtbag Gear
Here’s the best part: Polaris designed the Ranger 500 with a round roll cage, which makes it a direct fit for all of Dirtbag Brands’ round bar accessories. There’s no guesswork, no adapters, and most importantly, no drilling required.
If you’re ready to upgrade your new machine right away, these are the bolt-on parts that install in just minutes:
- Best Polaris Ranger 500 Billet Side Mirrors – Round Roll Bar Fit (Mirror-01)
- Polaris Ranger 500 Roll Bar Fire Extinguisher Mount
- Round Roll Bar Whip Mount for Polaris Ranger 500
- Polaris Ranger 500 Rotopax Mount
- 💪 Latch and Go Anchors: Use them in the bed for tie-downs or whip poles
Dirtbag Brands CNC-machines every part in this lineup from 6061 billet aluminum and pairs it with stainless steel hardware for long-term durability. As a result, when you install one of these components, it locks in place and stays secure — even when the terrain gets rough or unpredictable.
