I have a kfx 450r, i know this is the trx forum, but i dont see many guys get on the kfx forum. I just need opinions on HIPERS, Im looking at getting the CF1R's in black, single beadlock rears. Im on a budget otherwise id get the tech 3's. Honest opinions please and thanks.

I run them and had no issues. I have yet to take a hit on the inside rears and I have raced them over a year in XC.

I've heard of them failing, but thats the operators fault, running a flat, over torqing the beadlocks, etc..Never have I seen them break though.

no theres no difference at all all it is , is that the Bell of the rim is colored and and the CF1A is streight black, also i Run CF1A in MX and ive never had a probleme, they are perfect for if you want beadlocks and not spend a Grand for the full set of Tech3's, tech 3's have the dual pattern and dual rear but thats about it and they are a bit stronger but allot of $$$

I decided to go with Tech 3's, I dont want to replace single beadlocks in a year, but good part about HIPERS is that they are rebuildable, unlike aluminum, you have to trash the whole wheel and there goes $200 or so down the drain.
