are hipers really worth the money

[JDiablo]

are hipers really worth the 800 or 900 dollars?I'm just doing XC trail riding and 1 or 2 races this year.Are these really worth that much money?i'm sick of bending the aluminium rims.Or if i just get the back ones will those be good enough?im only 15 and on somewhat of a budget.

[Pappy]

for what you described....no. the cost would outweigh any benefits you would gain over standard aluminum beadlocks

[JDiablo]

hey pappy how much are beadlocks at burgard?

[Tommy 17]

get burgard or champion beadlocks (Burgard is the same thing and alot less)


u'll NEVERRRRRRRRR bend them... with the inner ring and the beadlock outter u'll never hurt them...


i think burgard beadlocks are 105$

[Pappy]

i believe they are like 110 a rim but im not certain.

[JDiablo]

wow if that is the price that is good,i might have to pick up 4 of um,after the a-arms and swinger:p

[vtwoodsrider]

well i have a set of 8in hipers and the rim is great but the hubs are junk. they fit very poorly on my rpm axle and ok on my lsr axle. but the splines get sloppy and the hubs never stay tight. also when i contacted them about it they wouldnt reply to my e mails. which is why i just got a set of alum. beadlocks

[crap-banshee32]

dont e-mail them.....call them!!! its more effective:)

Burgards are $110.00. I called them the other day.

[roostin_dale]

Hipers are really only worth it if your an every weekend/or national racer. I race nearly every weekend and some nationals so i bought some for both of my quads...

LMAO..sorry paps....I meant to write "EXTREME, CRAZY @$$, YOUNG..REALLY GOOD RIDER...AS IN KENNY" too..lol but seriously i meant to put something about a "weekend warrior" in ther too lol

[JDiablo]

im a weekend warrior :p every weekend in the spring time and summer time i ride sat like 5 to 8 hrs and sunday 2-4 hrs.Now i gave you my average time of riding,you think they are worth it?last summer i went through two pairs of rear rims,and one pair of the front ones.and now im back on stockers...think it is worth it now?idk im probably going to end up paying the 900 or so and get them....:devil:

[K_Fulk]

I thought c&d sold them for under 700 for a full set.

Pappy where did you get those Irazr's? Off the R? How do they work, and do they hold up better then stock radials?

[Pappy]

i wish i could tell ya how they work....too much snow to evaluate them:(

if they are 700 a set at c&d im going there....saves me over 200!!:p

[K_Fulk]

Is the sidewall thickeron them than the stock radials? just rying to find a little real world information about them. :cool:

[Pappy]

i really didnt notice anything extrodinary about them just from mounting them on teh quad. what little riding i did on the R felt good, cornered ok and seem to track well.

[roostin_dale]

well i dont think they are worth spending for a 300ex. I only bought mine because i race every weekend and i would get a flat tire on non-beadlack wheels. I would say get some alluminum beadlocks or reinforced rings.

and i dont know where you say them for $900:eek2:

and werent you buying a 400ex?
then a few hours later said you were doing a project 250r:rolleyes:

[JDiablo]

no i wasnt buying the 400ex,and i bought stuff alreayd for the 250r,just waiting till the summer time for when i start working again....just got fired from my other job i did here and there but it still brought in the money

[red]

You should be able to get a full set for around 700 or less.
there was a full set of used ones with tires in the used section the other day for 600. Just watch to find deals.
