Best Beadlocks

[Dicestyle1912]

I am getting a black set of beadlocks and was wondering what u guys think were the best? LEmme know post some pics.

[NacsMXer]

Hiper Technology IMO :o

[f4istunna]

i agree. Ive banged hipers off of pretty much everything i could find :eek2: rocks, trees, plenty of other quads, nice roll down a hill... Worst i got was some scuffed rings.

[Drewltr450]

hiper 100%

[tyhackman15]

Hiper's are a good option for MX, they're strong, and somewhat lightweight.

OMF's are the strongest beadlock, however they are pretty heavy.

DWT's beadlocks are a good wheel as well, lighter than the other two.

[f4istunna]

I wouldnt say lightweight, 1 probably weighs the same as 2 stock imo (never weighed em but picked each up to see one day). I like em in the woods i dont drag or mx much so not worried about weight.

I seen ppl break them at races once in awhile but ive never had a problem. Between all the bikes I have 3 full sets Only gripes i have are the orings going bad int he centers causing slow air leaks. Cheap easy fix though I usually do them when i change tires.


Ive had douglas beadlocks that have taken some abuse over years too. Theyre thick aluminum, only damage is nicks in rings.

Hiper All The Way!!

ehh i dont know why but ive never liked hipers. Douglas here

Get Hipers and be done with it.

[Dicestyle1912]

How much do hipers run and what size would you guys get on a 400ex

[mc_racer]

I've never priced new ones, but I've bought two barely used sets. Both were 3:2 fronts and 9" dual beadlock rears. I paid $580 for one set that had any extra set of front centers. The other set I picked up for $780 with Irazr tires.
If you want some, just watch the forums, there is almost always a few sets for sale.

[Dicestyle1912]

Allright Thanks
have you ever had any problems with them scratching and showing a other color through

[mc_racer]

They are black all the way through. You don't have to worry about scratches. The rings are also the same color all the way through.

[Dicestyle1912]

Allright Thanks alot thats what i wanted to hear!

My OMF's have douglas centers but my buddy's have some offbrand wheel center. I would go with OMF of DWT. Hipers aren't worth thier weight in bubble gum. The bolts either break or makes the brass inserts spin in the carbon fiber. I had this happen and seen it happen to a buddy. Also i've never seen an aluminum rim brake into pieces.

ive put 3 years of racing on my hipers and (knock on wood) never had a problem. ive slammed into other quads,rolled down hills,hit fence posts,trees,roots,rocks, and NEVER HAD ON PROBLEM:D :D

[mc_racer]

Same here, I've never had a problem with my hipers, but I have bent some aluminum wheels. Anything can be broken, but I've seen a lot more bent aluminum wheels then I've seen broken Hipers.
As far as the inserts, use antiseize and torque them correctly and you won't have a problem.

I would get douglas. THey are a lot cheaper then hiper and I like them a lot better. Personally I would never buy a carbon fiber rim. I have a set of douglas champion beadlocks for a honda for sale if you are interested let me know.

I have OMF's :rolleyes:

The douglas beadlocks are overall lighter. It's been proven with a scale...

hipers

[quadrider1299]

ive seen hipers split

i had omf and i really liked them but they also were heavier

i also heard that hipers are actually heavier?

but i have douglass now and i like them a lot

[Dicestyle1912]

Lmao

[buck440]

yah well i make my own rims out of a space age titanium alloy fused with rubys and a high strength polymer so all four only weigh like around 2.5lbs:blah:

[buck440]

i chit you not

[Dicestyle1912]

Beat off

[buck440]

HOLY QUADRUPLE POST!:D

[jersey devil]

?????????????..don't know what that is about..sight froze for a minute or so and then I see mail from this site and 4 posts the same????weird!

[buck440]

its like you can get some douglas beadlocks or hypers beadlocks..............you can prolly ad a few pounds to the hypers and people will still prolly buy them cause they look cool with all the bolts shining with a fla black rim with a colored rim compared to douglas, just one shiny color, shure you might be able to get a colored ring but i'd rather go with the one with the most "BLING" yuh her home slice:D
