These are the Hyper carbon fiber wheels. I am seriously considering purchasing front and rear wheels from them at the mere price of around $760:rolleyes: :p Racing in my first harescramble series I found that I run into ALOT of trees:D so I figured these might do the trick of fixing my bent wheel problem.

have any of you guys delt with Hyper or carbon fiber wheels? and do you think they could handle hitting a tree at say..about...40mph and bounce back:D

[ZSK]

I love mine. They are trick!!!! They've taken everything I've thrown at them and come back for more. I think the biggest advantage to them is how easy it is to change tires. The beadlocks make them really quick. The only downside besides the price is they are hard to keep clean. When washing the quad I have to take them off and wash them by hand. No biggey.

[AnotherSlow400]

I love mine. They are tough to clean but they have been great. I did take a small chip out of the inside of my right front but it is extremly minor and has not affected performance. I run harescrambles here in Fl and with the stumps and other obstacles these things have been tough.

[jesshamner]

Is there a new style now? I noticed some have a lot of stud holes like the picture about and some just have the 4 stud holes. Also, I saw an ebay auction that said they fit all makes and models.

[zfire_28]

If ya do smoke a tree at 40 and break a hiper rim, you don't have to replace the whole rim, only the part that broke;) I have a set on my YFZ and love them......besides, they look trick as hell:cool:

[bradley300]

jess, all the rears are now a yammy/honda pattern.

and hiper wheels are the last wheels you will ever buy. and if you should havppen to break one, you can buy parts istead of having to buy a whole wheel

[Silverfox@C&DRacing]

if you have the extra money you won't regret getting the hiper wheels, should be the last rim you will ever buy like others said you can replace the pieces that are broke...

[flyingbyfast400]

I have a set of hipers all the way around on my 400, and I love them Best money I have ever spent on my quad.. I race out to redbud and onther places of that size and They hold up to everything. Ive crashed on the double double twice hard and they have held up.. and if youve been to redbud the Double double is not very small = sum pretty wild crashes :eek2: But I dont think you will find anything bad about these rims but for maybe price.....? If you bend enough stock rims and onthers like that then youll at sum point have paid for a set of hypers.. so save ur self alot of time and get a set :macho

HiPers are the best only thing you need to buy is rings everyear.
I beat the chit out of mine with rocks.the wheels with 8 holes are
4 x 5 offset fits Yamaha and Honda the wheels with only 4 are cannondale honda 3 x 6 offset.
The 8 x 8 solid huds are new.
Heres a pic from the Ky expo show

8 x 8

[RIDER11X]

Are the replacement parts expensive?

[roostin_dale]

Rider11x...im not sure on all parts but i know the rings are 25 each.

Anyways, i love these wheels! Pretty much impossible to break. Ive bought a set for 3 of my quads:D

[Sc0]

Currently I am having a problem with my two rear 9x9 Hipers leaking air with my Razr2's. I am going to have a ATV mechanic/sponsor/shop owner take a look at it to see if it's defective before I contact Hiper for a possible replacement or to see if they would warranty it. They held up great for a few months then gradually started loosing air between the outer half and the bead lock ring. My front wheels OTOH are flawless but they aren't that old yet...

Try putting some silicone or type of that between the ring and the tire when u break them down and put them back on, it will help keep from leaking. Try that and see what happens, you can also run tubes in them ~

their awesome, i love mine, and they have held up really well, now for me to say something held up, its saying a lot cuz i can wreck a tank:p

That's a big selling point for me right there, as the last couple of years I've been ripping stuff up at an alarming rate!:o I definitly think there is a direct relation between getting faster and breaking more stuff. I hate to see what I break when I get to the point that other people think I'm fast.............:p :D

[cdalejef]

Best wheels on the market!!!

[Toadz400]

Best wheel out there! Definately worth the $400!

no matter how awsesome they are... how could they be seriously worth $800? I think they are being kinda stingy with how much profit they make on each wheel. Now I'm not a friggin guiness, and I probably cant even spell it right :p , but I highly doubt they even cost $50 in material.

If anybody is being stingy and making a killing its the people making the alum. beadlocks. Alum. is much cheaper to buy and work with than Carbon Fiber. The Douglas Ultimates and ITP Pro Series are priced higher than the Hipers.
Another problem with alum wheels that once they bend they are scrap. Hipers don't bend, in the rare occation that they crack, you just replace the cracked piece.

Actually, the Carbon Fiber rims are BARELY more expensive than the aluminum beadlocks...so I think I got a pretty good deal on my HiPers, $200 a piece for me! Brand new from HiPer.

did you getta DeAl or were you just a random buyer?

I ordered them through C&D Racing and got them for $200 a piece, that was for the rear ones though...I think the fronts are $220 a piece. It's not a "deal" but I consider it a deal when you are getting lighter/stronger wheels than aluminum beadlocks at maybe $20-30 more a wheel.

That center section is changable for all bolt patterns!! (from what i understand) I know that honda/ suzuki/kawi/ Can/ Artic Cat/ i know that they all run the same bolt pattern! 4/110

My buddies ru nthere hypers, and have never had a problem with them ever, The outer ring chips everyonce in a GREAT HIT, But they are cheap to replace, if u think they need replaced!

[Jake250ex]

I still dont see paying $800 for quad wheels.... I could have an old blaster for that.

That's nice, don't buy them if you don't want to. Go ahead and get an old Blaster, you'll be putting probably double that money into fixing it up after it fails on you over and over again. As for these wheels, they won't fail on you.

[stocktires]

I'd say to someone on a budget and not seriously racing, no they're not worth it.
Whenever I build my next quad, I'm getting a set.

I'm on an budget and I bought rear HiPers...just because why spend almost as much money on rims that will eventually bend if you hit something or land hard instead of ones that won't, and are lighter.

[Toadz400]

So if you bent your rims all to crap, do you just get rid of your quad and buy a new one??:confused:

[speedy400]

If I got them it'd only be for the look(completely Sick), and that they change the tires very easy. But then again... douglas 190s are like what 60 a peice, then the hyper ones are 200.... then the 190s, I've almost never seen, or bent one. So your very rare occation that they bend, another 60, now your up to 120$ if you bend one, against 200$ for the hypers. So now the weight, arnt hypers only what a 1/2-1 lb more then douglas? eh just my opinion:o .-darren

[RIDER11X]

I rate Hypers like skid plates....................If you want to go fast in the woods, you will need them, or you will be paying the price eventually anyway in the form of repairs and towing it back to the truck. Pay now or pay later......I will have a set.
:cool:

[markk]

anyone run Champion beadlocks???

[Jake250ex]

Im not wanting to start a flame-fest, Im just saying that most likely, the average or even a fairly aggresive trail rider probably wouldnt notice a difference in them (besides looks) and stock rims, and I think that there are better ways to put $800 into your quad.

with scrap steel prices at an all time high, jeff turned in all his junked .190's and bought a ranch in montana:scary:

LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i would agree with JEFF!!!!!! But i feel that stock rims are better than the 160's, and 190's put togeather! I myself would by hipers, But thats if i had the money!!

You've never seen a bent one? Those rims are bent all the time, look at my rims, they bent up pretty bad after hitting a tiny tree. The wheels you are talking about also aren't beadlocks.

And people talk about they would only get them if they weren't on a tight budget, my budget is so small it almost doesn't exist and I still bought them because I knew they'd be the last rims I'd ever need! I've seen some of those beadlock aluminum rims at almost $200 a piece.

[Jake250ex]

.190's are about as strong as stockers.... dont tell me youve never seen bent stock wheels :eek2:


btw... what happened to that dale Jeff?

[LTZ400rider]

i got the front hipers on my z400. my stockers were bent in 3 different spots, both of them and i dont even race. just front rocks and stumps that i nail. id definetly recommend these wheels. 170 a peice for fronts from c&d racing

I've bent .190's racing TT...and in the sand. .190's arent strong, and they ARE heavy, and they AREN'T worth the $60.

[StuntMentD4]

in some of the pics above there r hipers where u dont even need a hub..i like that wats the story behind that?

[ZSK]

They have an integrated hub. It uses the axle nut to hold the entire wheel onto the axle.

[cdalejef]

They are only on the 8" wheels

[yoshz400rider]

i am gettin a ser for my Z400 for the ITP question they rip you off if u get the true beadlocks my brother got a set he races utility quads and they dont make hipers for him 240 a piece recommend price was 280 a piece first race hit a stump and it completely crumpled it was hidden in the mud spent anothe 240 for another if anyone from hiper reads this make them for the UTEs

You know, I sent them an Email about this a couple on months back, and never got a reply............They are missing out by not making them for the Utes, as they would sell.:cool:

the ute racers are often overlooked

Hiper wheels for utilities are being tested as we speak. ;)

Hmm...Rhino+HiPers+HMF Exhaust+ITP 589's+Grizzly CDI+Elka Shocks=woot woot. :cool:

[yoshz400rider]

thas awesome

[CTmxyfz]

I'd like to see hipers on HMF's lifted Rhino. That would be sick with the 589s its sitting on too. Hipers are def. the best rims no doubt. Try finding a pair of used ones and buying new rings if you desire. for example, i have rears and scored on a front pair talking with a guy at my local track. He had a pair on the front of his raptor but needed the 4:1s for his yfz. I asked him how much he wanted... and that was 200 bucks. Before even looking at them, i bought them. Turns out they were MINT. i have also destroyed .190s. They just plain suck..
