Hiper Non Beadlock vs Beadlock Front Wheels

[exsweetie66]

THIS QUESTION IS FOR HIPER WHEELS, NOT DWT OR ITP Is anyone having problems with the HIPER Non Beadlock Fronts beading up or holding air or blowing tires off the beads? I have the beadlock fronts currently and am looking to buy a set of non's and was wondering if anyone was having problems? All input is appreciated. Thanks

I ran them one whole season when they first came out and they worked great. i had 10lbs in my tires and they worked fine for me. and i think they look alot better than the beadlock version.

Thanks Roostar! I value your input, you seem to know quite a bit about the sport and the honda's

I run non-beadlock DWT wheels, and have had no problems with air or anything. I run 8-10 PSI and haven't ever popped a bead up front.

The front hiper beadlocks weigh as much as using a regular metal wheel. if i were you i would go with the hiper non beadlocks because my fronts have never broken the bead without a beadlock and you would save some weight

not sure how MX is, but in XC i run all ITP BAJA's and I have only ever rolled a front tire off the bead. I know thats weird, but it has happened multiple times.

I dont want any info on DWT's or ITP's, I have owned them all and have not had any problems with them. This is what I need to know, anyone who has the HIPER NON BEADLOCK FRONT WHEELS having any problems with them in any way?

I'd say stick with the Hiper front locks if you already have them.

I run the non-beadlock on the front of mx quad without any problems. The only leak I've ever had with a Hiper is with the rubber seal in the center section.

Thanks Jon I appreciate your input on the HiPer Non Beadlock as opposed to those who give me info on DWT and ITP haha

I have hiper front and rear beadlocks, I never had a tire of coming off, but heard of it happening with non-beadlocks. I like them for how easy it is to change tires and you don't usually have to "strap", "tie-down" or compress the tires to get the bead to seat. Its also nice for only needing to break one side on the front and rear(none on rear if you are using dual beadlocks). Change the tires several times a year and you will regret not getting beadlocks.

they work great for mx I have run them for 2 years with 18 races a year and about 75 practice days a year and have never lost a bead and have never replaced one. I would buy about 3 sets of douglas yellow lable per year.
