Why Choose Aluminium Over Steel?
Reduced Rear-End Weight
At just 35 kg, this rear bar is exceptionally light, preserving the Amarok’s impressive payload capacity and refined towing characteristics.
Superior Corrosion Resistance
Naturally resistant to rust — ideal for Amarok owners who live near the coast or regularly travel through tropical and high-humidity environments.
Engineered Energy Management
Aluminium deforms progressively under impact, assisting in energy dispersion during low-speed reversing impacts.
Optimised for Modern Vehicles
Lightweight, compact design maintains the Amarok’s departure angle and does not compromise its advanced suspension and drivetrain dynamics.
