Punxatawneyjoe Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 My guess is plastic, but @Marty Backe could answer that for you. He has had "hands on" the legendary v14.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly, I have confirmed with the official engineer of V14 that the bumper was made of plastic material. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marty Backe Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 Per my unboxing, the handles on my V14 appear to me metal. I didn't perform a scratch test so I suppose I could have been fooled, but metal usually has a coolness to the touch. @YCC says that Inmotion stated that the "bumpers" are plastic. Indeed, the two small bumpers on the front are plastic but I contend that the handles are metal. I'll inspect them a bit closer when I get the replacement V14. I discuss the handles in this segment ... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
