I knew going in that the renegade’s lack of fender coverage would leave me dirty in wet/muddy trail conditions.
Couple hundred miles later I decided to do something about it. The BRP fender flares for the Renegade didn’t do it for me. Have seen them in person on a few Renegades and can’t say I like them.
The XMR fender flares on the other hand are a bit nicer in my opinion. Spent some time reviewing parts breakdown between the XXC and XMR and it seemed like a straight forward swap of components.
Decided to go give it a shot. It’s definitely not the cost effective option but I’m happy with the way it turned out. Was a very easy swap and only required drilling a couple holes for the flares. Everything else just screwed right into existing holes.
First ride out last weekend and I must say it’s a huge improvement. The Rene still gets sloppy but I remained relatively clean in comparison to before.
I also like the metal floorboard upgrade and more aggressive foot pegs. Also got more wheel clearance should I ever want to go larger tire package.
I was going to instal the BRP skids for the renegade footwell area. I performed some initial inspection and I don’t think they will fit. I’ll have to look it over again but it doesn’t seam to be compatible with the XMR setup. The catalog doesn’t mention excluding the XMR like it does on other accessories.
