Brought home and cleaned it up and removed guard to take a peek and are you kidding me...?
I now use the AL flatland racing guard. Not as pretty but much more durable to hard impacts like where I ride!!!

This is where the design of impact resistance and shock distribution values come into play, a lot of guys buy on pricing alone but they are not comparing apples with apples. An eline is built to a price, as is a p3, as is a propower guard, but the prices are not all the same. This is a great shot stu illustrating the issues of shock referring through the guard rather than being absorbed by it. I am by no means talking down P3 as they have great products and are also priced accordingly. We have spent countless hours with different layup designs to better distribute the impact of shock so that you dont get one when you take off your pipe guard!
