Deuce Roll Bar

The Hard Dog Deuce roll bar offers a blend of classic styling and robust protection for your Miata. Inspired by vintage Cobra roll bars, this "double-hoop" design provides significant safety with an aesthetic appeal. The Deuce features two main hoops that extend about 18 inches above the rear parcel shelf. These are reinforced by a rear brace, and the entire unit is secured by a solid multi-point mounting system concealed beneath the rear deck. This construction ensures reliable safety performance. The bar is strategically placed to ensure it does not interfere with the seats, allowing for comfortable occupant positioning. This roll bar is powder-coated black for durability and a sleek appearance. However, the center-braced version is not compatible with Robbins or Duetto soft tops featuring a zip-out glass window. The side-braced version does work with these tops. Buyers should be aware that the lower height of this bar may mean a helmet cannot fit below its top edge, potentially affecting track day eligibility. It is recommended to check with specific track day organizations for their requirements. Installation of the Deuce roll bar typically takes several hours and requires specialized tools such as 90-degree drills and spot weld cutters. Careful measurement and cutting of the carpet around the mounting points are crucial for a clean finish. While drop-shipped from the manufacturer, these bars are usually in stock, with potential delivery times of 2-6 weeks if production is needed.
