ARB says this bull bar offers a new standard in off road protection

The Zenith Bar introduces a subtle, modern design that refines ARB’s iconic bull bar aesthetic while maintaining its legendary strength and functionality.
Featuring a sleeker profile, integrated bash plate and recovery points, and a more aggressive front-end look, ARB says the Zenith offers off road performance without compromising the rugged durability that defines its traditional bull bars.
With decades of experience designing market-leading protection equipment, ARB says its engineers have spent years honing the Zenith Bar to ensure it withstands the harshest of environments and remains true to ARB’s core design principles of innovation, functionality and off road capability.
From Australia’s rugged outback to extreme off road terrain, ARB says the Zenith has been rigorously tested to meet and exceed industry safety and performance standards. ARB says the Zenith Bar is built to handle the most challenging real-world 4WD adventures, clearly defined by the upswept wings and great approach angle.
Like all ARB bars, it is designed for full compatibility with modern vehicle original systems, including SRS airbag compatibility, parking sensors, front camera, and radar integration.
For increased versatility and added value in this package, ARB explains the Zenith Bar features a centrally integrated bash plate, twin eight-tonne forged recovery points, twin jack points, a steel winch cradle, and provision for Nacho Quatro driving lights.

Key features and benefits:
• Engineered steel construction: laser-cut, press-formed and folded 3mm steel maximises the strength-to-weight ratio.
• Retention of original functions: retained function of original vehicle features including SRS air bags, parking sensors, front camera and adaptive cruise control.
• Integrated bash plate: strengthened with high tonnage press forms for durable protection of vulnerable vehicle components. Removable for ease of access and winch servicing.
• Included recovery points: built-in eight-tonne rated forged recovery points ensure easy and secure vehicle recovery when off road challenges arise.
• Steel winch cradle: designed to accommodate a wide range of winches, allowing drivers to equip their vehicle for any situation.
• Integrated lighting solutions: compatible with ARB’s range of Nacho Quatro driving lights, ensuring superior nighttime visibility. Factory fog lights are retained in neatly crafted wings, or an ARB kit is available for models without.
• Optimised approach angles: the Zenith’s refined design maximises clearance, providing better manoeuvrability over obstacles, whilst the wings give improved clearance for larger tyres.
• Durable finish: featuring a meta-prep primer and a high-quality powder-coat, the standard finish enhances durability and corrosion resistance, ensuring longevity in all conditions. The Zenith Bar can also be colour coded on both the bar, and/or the bash plate as desired.

ARB says it has always been dedicated to engineering the best possible protection equipment for serious off roaders.
“The Zenith Bar is the result of years of R&D, built to match the evolving needs of modern four-wheel drivers,” ARB Fabrication Engineering Manager, John Stubbe, said.
“It is more than just a bull bar; it is a statement of quality, durability, and innovation.”
The Zenith Bull Bar is now available to order for the next-gen Ford Ranger through ARB stores and authorised dealers, with more vehicles under development.
