Just spent a few minutes comparing and I can't see any differnece in the two quads. Factory bumper mounts the same, in the same bolt holes, same size.

I don't know how your new brush guard mounts, but the only thing that might be different is the oil tank in the front left wheel well on the 400. I can't see the bumper mount going back that far.

Could it be a different design, weight, material, or additional features?

They are the same bumpers, But the difference between the two brush guards are paint , one has smooth black paint and the higher $ one has the krinkle finish, over at my dealer they had both out and we were looking at them that the only Difference. RP
