lets talk hiper carbon beadlocks


Recommended Posts

thinking of getting them. i have a stock 04. do they leak air slowly or are they just perfect in every aspect. i have a white/red 04 , what do you think black rims with red rings? maybe a set of chrome rockets to boot.

ive got them on my silver banshee and i like them a lot. they are more expensive but if you have someone swap out your tires, itll pay off in the end. i paid 680 for the set thru magnolia yamaha. i wouldnt go with red rings. it wont really match your frame exactly. my brother has black on his 04 yfz450 which is white, and it looks sick.

Hiper wheels are cheaper then their aluminum counterparts from both Douglas and ITP. Not only are they less expensive, but they are lighter too. So far I haven't had any issures with my set of Hiper rims but there are stories about the beadlock bolt inserts deboning and coming out of the rim. Tire instalation was a little bit difficult as I was worried about damaging the rim in the process.. Also the front rim's bolt holes are just a tad difficult to get to..but these are all very minor complaints. I'm never going back to aluminum rims again.

True, cheaper than "Champion" or "OMF" beadlocks too.

 

I have a set and love them. I run them in the sand with my paddles, then switch back to my dirt tires when the sand season is over, I have the dual bead-lock version front and rear so tire swaps are easy. I have not had one single problem with mine. Plus they look trick, people at Glamis trip when they see my bike, most bikes out there run aluminum wheels.
