Does the front bumper help reinforce the frame?

Does the stock front bumper help reinforce the frame in anyway cause mine is all bent up n smashed so I was just gonna leave it off till I got a new one is that ok to do or should I just leave it alone?

The bumper does not help the frame get held together no. But if you go headlong into a tree or other obstacle then your frame could get messed up. I suggest just leaving the bumper on because it seems to be doing it's job very well!

The dents in the bumper save your frame for sure , it's soft aluminum and absorbs the impacts . No bumper as stated before leaves your frame vulnerable to a bad tweak .

I'd leave it until you have a replacement. My son's friend had a head-on with the Warrior, bumper was trash, but other than one bung ripped from frame no damage to frame.

The bumper does not "reinforce" the frame but I would keep it like everyone is saying, ya never know when your going to smack into something or someone haha
