I just want to say that I love your wheels and I won't use anything else. Thank you for an outstanding product. I need some for my son's Cobra. It's the only bike I have that does not have your wheels. He's leading the points in the TQRA series in the pee-wee JR class.

I used to have them. They started to leak and I ended up selling them. I bought dwt instead. Idk dwt just seems to be the best, you guys need to either market more towards racers, or sponsor more racers to get the motocross reputation up. Ive also heard of the shells cracking or breaking. Ive never seen this or had this happen to mine but a strength test or strength charts would really reassure other riders thinking about buying them.
As for the product, I like the colors, good quality and I like how you can buy replacement parts.
Oh maybe you guys should have a package deal like champion in a box, that seems to have increased the sales for dwt.

Best,
Dylan I don't agree with people who say they arnt strong for motocross. I am sponsored by HiPer Racing for 2010 and I have jumped 80 ft triples with lots of confidence. I have it on video. They are better than aluminum in my opinion. Best looking wheel. Look more like plastic but strong. Love the availability of replacement part.

My HiPers are great. I ride in rocky terrain and would bend stock rims often. Had HiPers for a year and a half now and no bends or breaks. On an uphill section, flat out in 3rd gear, hit a rock with rt frt wheel that just stopped the quad. Of course, I didn't, but I was fine. Hit rock with the outside edge of wheel, ripped sidewall, but wheel was fine. Just a small nick. From past experience, I'm sure the stock wheel would have been toast.

Ill tell you that over here in MO you have a ton of business. Everyone is running them in the OXC series I race. My only problem I have is they are pricey . I wish I had the extra money to at least get a front set I need them. From everyone that I race with they tell me nothing but good things about your product and the customer service is great.

we have had big problems with the Hyper wheels. One of the wheels started to leak in the centre, so we got a new "o" ring but when we try to take out the bolts of the beadlock a few of them will not unscrew. We now have 2 very expensive pieces of scrap!!

My comments about the wheels is that they crack, leak, the threads get messed up ect. But I actualy think there great wheels but after a while the start to have those issues but for MX there just to DANG HEAVY!!!! but for XC and such they make a great wheel but do to the weight issues for MX I run DWT.

we had a set they leaked and we contacted hiper and they said their was nothing they could do about them bacause they were old hipers. We had a newer set of cf1 and they seemed to work good but one of the beadlock rings threads got screwed up.

no way am i downing Hyper. i have always wanted a set of Hypers. they look trick. and really, who doesn't like carbon? here are my concerns:
with all these comments about leakage, cracking, and, sealing, Hyper has not responed. back your product fellas! tell us what can be done about these problems. more importantly what can you do about it?

Hiper-Tech2010
02-03-2011, 08:22 AM
In response to Hawaii's comment, we would like to say that we do whatever we can for customers when any of these problematic issues occur. Our Tech 3 wheels come with a 1 year unlimited warranty. If you crack or damage the wheel in any way within the first year of purchase we replace the damaged part free of charge. If you purchase a set of our CF1 wheels (which only have a 60 day manufacturer guarantee) if any part is damaged you can replace that wheel half for a very reasonable price, same as the Tech 3 wheel if it's out of warranty. As for the spinning inserts, we are doing everything to make the best product available in limiting this from occurring in the future. The best method to prevent this from happening is to clean your wheels regularly and to use anti-seize or a dab of oil every time you take your bead ring off and on. But, as will happen whenever you have any type of metal and plastic bonded together, with as much torque and twisting that is constantly applied to the wheel inserts it is inevitable that sometimes they will fail. Other leaking issues can sometimes be due to pinched or damaged o rings. (This is the case 99% of the time whenever a wheel is leaking from the center area). Please feel free to pm me or call us directly if you have any questions about our product and I will try and answer them as timely as possible and to the best of my ability.

Best,
Dylan

thank you for the reply:) now that is how to respond. answered my questions and then some.

i hope to own a set of your wheels in the near future. polished aluminum is nice but shiny don't make you go fast.

I haven't had great luck with Hipers. One of them started leaking, which was caused by a bad o-ring. Taking them apart, 3 of the bolts were seized in one of the halves even though I used anti-seize and a torque wrench when putting them together. Got them to hold air until one of the rings cracked and managed to move over one of the bolts. On the other hand I have two sets of OMF beadlocks, and a set of DWT and can say I've had zero problems with those.

Anyone want to buy a set of 8" Tech 3s? LOL

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE HIPER WHEELS WITH THE HUB INTEGRATED INTO THE WHEEL?
ARE THEY NOT BEING MADE ANYMORE?
WAS THERE A PROBLEM WITH'EM?

Hiper-Tech2010
02-14-2011, 07:55 AM
Candidate,
I truly am sorry that you had issues with our wheels. We're constantly trying to improve our product in hopes of having the most limited amount of problems as possible.

Blood,
The integrated hub was one of the company's very first designs. There is absolutely nothing wrong with those wheels but we decided to change the design out of practicality.

05-08-2011, 10:31 AM
i used to love hiper rims. i had many sets they will not bend like most. but at $250 each

after a year the front rings fail ok not a big deal

on the rear the bead lock nuts fail on both rims. so they are now junk.

if anything i will buy non beadlock rims.


As for the spinning inserts, we are doing everything to make the best product available in limiting this from occurring in the future.

really thats it?

Hiper-Tech2010

Hiper has great customer support. I had a spinning insert problem on my tech 3's and i called them yesterday and they were more than willing to make it better for me. I shipped the wheels out to them yesterday. Customer support is key when running a business. Thanks guys.

Sounds like design issues. Good customer service can't fix that.

on the inserts maybe you guys should go to a insert similiar to what honda uses in the gas tank... its square on the outside instead of round should make it a little harder to spin... btw ive had 2 sets of tech 3's for about 4 years now. with probably 100 races on each set only thing i ever replaced was 1 set of outter rings and the aluminum center piece cause my lug nuts werent tight enough and back off egg shaping the wheels.

Whats the deal with the CF1A's? I noticed there alittle cheaper than the others.

Hiper-Tech2010
06-02-2011, 08:28 AM
We actually no longer produce the CF1A. We may have some dealers or distributors out there who have them in stock, but we no longer make new ones. They were comprised of a different material that is not as strong or light as our regular CF1 or Tech 3 wheel (which are made of the same stronger and lighter material). We originally made the CF1As for recreational riders but market demand made us decide to discontinue them.

I have a set of your hubless 8x8 rear hipers that came off of a trx 450r, can you tell me are these wheels only going to fit Honda 450 splines or Will they work with other models? Thanks.

Hiper-Tech2010
10-18-2011, 04:10 PM
To be honest, I'm not quite sure Will. check the spline count on whatever model you're looking to put them on and then on the wheels. This will tell you if they will fit or not.

im looking for a strong durable wheel that wont bend when i jump. i have heard alot of good things about carbon fiber wheels. i like them cuz there light and durable which would be good for sand but how do the hipers compare to carbon fiber wheels

hartwill
10-27-2011, 05:00 AM
Hipers are carbon fiber wheels. So I would say they are very comparable:blah:

Hiper-Tech2010
10-27-2011, 08:10 AM
If you are doing mostly dune riding then you would have absolutely nothing to worry about running our Carbon Fiber wheels. I have seen guys flip Polaris RZRs, slam into trees going 30+mph, hit rocks the size of your head and jump 90ft triples without it so much as scratching our wheels. By no means am I saying they are indestructable, but you would be very hard pressed to break one of our wheels, especially in the sand. Depending on your budget I would recommend our CF1 wheel. Our Tech 3 is our more expensive wheel that has an aluminum billet center and come with a 1 year unlimited warranty, but our CF1s are made out of the same exact material and are extremely durable. If you have any questions feel free to pm me or call us at 785-749-6011.

Kind regards,
Dylan

I have just bought a set of rear wheels that have the hubs made into them. Is it possible to put a regular aluminum center in them instead of the hubs?

Hiper-Tech2010
11-15-2011, 09:14 AM
I'm sorry mxr, but those wheels are at least 6 years old and they are no longer compatible with our current centers. Sorry bro.

Any chance you can post pics of the difference between 4:1 and 3:2 offset tech3s? All the pics I see online appear to be the same offset, that or I'm just blind. I am wondering because everyone tell me my tech threes are 4:1s just by looking. I've never seen a set that looked any different.

For some reason it's telling me the file I'm trying to attach is too big. I've tried changing the picture size but it won't allow me to post with it attached. Do you have an email or phone I could send the pic to? PM it to me if you want.

Well, I've always wondered about the carbon fiber "mixture" like it says on the offical website.

I must say although i'm a hardcore DWT fan, your customer service seems a LOT better than DWT's. I have to wait SO long to even get ahold of them , and then another long wait for a tracking number. Then i email them asking for something, and i'm given a link to buy something totally irrelavent.

Me too... both of us are lucky to be able to tell about it still...

My recommendation to anyone is to install longer lugs in the hubs, order the locking lug nuts from RMATV and put wave washers under them. The Tech 3 billet centers are THICK and the lug nut spots are counter sunk too.

I am not sure what happens... rather it is shavings pushed out into the recess when putting them on the lugs or shavings from the edge of the countersink... or if it is soft material wallowing out. But once they start to wiggle on the hub it will walk the nuts right off the lugs.

I think I would feel better about CF1 wheels if I wasn't willing to change the hub studs, lug nuts and add wave washers.

I would like to take a set of CF1's apart to see how they are made in comparison with tech 3's.
