just curious..whats the advantage of hiper's over other brands? i have Burgard 8'' rear beadlocks and they work great!....but its not like they will bend or anything because they have a inner reinforced ring so both sides are really strong...if they bent, i think my axle would have to break too..haha

there carbon fiber.
if one peice breaks, you can replace it instead of the whole rim.
there just ba.

-Dual Beadlock Rear
-Carbon Fiber = Stronger
-Will absorb impact - Aluminum will not absorb, just dent/bend
-Replaceable parts, if broken/bent(Which i doubt anybody on here could do)

Just to name a few

smiley runs them, so does borich, derisi, cook,brandon balance (i think)jenks, gallager. there are 7 pro's from last year that ran them (of 20) not to mention fast people like brandon sommers, traci cecco, jeff stoess (when he raced). not a bad list of names for someone who has only been in the wheel business for 5 or 6 years

you would be suprised, if its an aluminum wheel, i can bend, and sometimes alot easier than you would think

as for the gnc pros they don't run them because aluminums are lighter you'll notice that most of them don't even go with beadlocks from anybody because it saves weight (and yes those few pounds really do mean that much)

the weight difference is less then 1 1/2 pound per rim between a Hiper and a standard beadlock. if compared to say a douglas ultimate beadlock i would have to say they are very close in weight.

a standard aluminum rim, even a reinforced rim is lighter then a hiper beadlock.

the top riders have sponsors, and seeing how differently the sponsorships run between Hiper and say douglas, there is a huge benefit to run douglas(atleast in MX). i wont go into more detail because i believe the sponsorship dealings should remain private.
