Typhon Broken Typhon - a tree in the way...

No one else makes bumpers for the 3s models.

Bummer

I put a granite bumper on mine. It was easy. It's not super fancy or anything but there was a noticeable difference in outcomes from crashes.

These three bags.

Nice! I'll give this a try after my next bumper breaks. Thanks!

I heard outcast 4s bumper was a direct replacement.

I’d go vorteks bumper over outcast. The outcast bumper doesn’t have the built in spring and sends the impact right into the shock tower.

Thanks for all the replies

Just found this thread where they are talking about what bumper there fits each other.

I put a Vorteks bumper on a Granite, so it will work. Bumper mounting holes are the same for Granite, Typhon 3s, Big Rock Crew Cab, Outcast 4s, Kraton 4s and Vorteks

T bone bumper works great on my Typhon offers decent enough protection

Ditto the t-bone….my Typhon landed in a tree then fell out straight on its nose and nothing. Have one on granite and Typhon, holding up seriously well at bmx track and woods with plenty of head on crashes. They are around 6 months old so may not be the new plastic your talking about..??!!??

The t bone just sounds expensive. Absolutely anything other than the stock typhon 'bumper' is an upgrade.

It doesn't protect anything and transfers all the force to the shock tower. The stock typhon bumper is terrible.

The T Bone bumpers are only about $10.99.

I kinda dig the Granite bumper.
