Bull Bar Design & Engineering

You simply won't find a more thoroughly designed and manufactured vehicle protection system than an ARB bull bar.

Bull Bar Engineering:

Engineering a bull bar requires careful consideration of a number of factors to ensure it properly serves its purpose. Factors such as vehicle design, crush rate, air bag deployment, approach angles, accessory fitment, strength, weight and aesthetics are incorporated into every ARB bar before it enters production.

Air Bag Compatibility:

With an air bag equipped 4x4, it is essential that the vehicle's crush rate and air bag triggering is not altered when a bull bar is installed. To ensure compatibility, ARB assesses each vehicle's frontal crush characteristics and replicates the crush rate into the design of each air bag compatible bull bar and its mounting system. This method enables engineers to achieve maximum possible vehicle and passenger protection without affecting the crash pulse. ARB has invested heavily in vehicle crash barrier tests to validate the performance and compliance of its air bag compatible bull bars.

Aesthetics & Finish:

Each ARB bull bar is specifically designed to complement the unique contours of individual vehicle models. This means that we can ensure the best possible fit, look and functionality for a particular vehicle. Finished in a durable powder coat, optional colour coding is available to further enhance the bar's appeal.
