Not sure, but probably because they are sponsored by ITP and Douglas...

Yeah, they are sponsored.....but if some of those bigger name pros wanted to, they could get sponsored by Hiper SO easy.

I believe Hiper is a better wheel, so if i had a choice of sponsorship between Douglas, ITP, or Hiper.....it would have to be Hiper(hell, i'd take a discount sponsorship from cheng shin at the time)

Its all personal preferance i guess

When John Natalie rode for Legacy ATV he used Hiper rims.

It wouldnt maybe because of weight or anything? I would think that would be why but i dont know............ im sure theyre not worried about the durability so much....... they get them for free...haha.... i know dunkleburger uses them and hes the best guy out there :D :D :D :D :D

Dunk used to use Hiper, he uses Douglas now. It probably is because of weight, the Douglas Ultimates are actually lighter than the Hiper rims.

I don't think they are concerned with durabilty, they get new rims and tires every race, even between races they get new rims and tires. They use whatever they get for free(unless its total crap).

plus with the itp deal that alot of them have they can just get new rims when they get tires, with hiper they have to switch tires every time they need new ones
