(10/13/2009) - The mere mention
of the term “Hipers” these days at
any ATV racing event immediately brings the highly
recognizable black carbon fiber constructed rim
into the conversation with no further explanation
required. The Kansas based company, Hiper-Technology,
has been steadily overtaking the replacement racing
rim market for several years, and doing so by
their reputation as being virtually indestructible
in various forms of off road ATV and Side by Side
racing. Models are manufactured for all popular
sport ATV and Utility models, along with the Side
by Side market which has exploded onto the off
road scene over the past 2 years.
With high praise from racers, and the performance
based rim’s reputation, Hiper has been
steadily increasing its line of products to
other forms of racing and recreational riders
with great success. The ATV, UTV, Side by Side
and Micro Sprint market has seen remarkable
growth and the changing needs and demands from
racers have found their way into differing versions
of the companies’ offerings. Models with
dual beadlocks, non-beadlocks, complete carbon
fiber construction and a myriad of sizing and
back spacing offer us a truly diverse product
line from which to choose from.

ATV.

Recently we chose to use Hiper Technology rims
on our project KFX 450 machine and we chose
to use the Tech 3 model. Offering us a dual
beadlock 9x9 rear carbon rim, and a single beadlock
10x5 front rim, we would now be able to push
our machine even harder with out worry of damaging
the stock aluminum rims and add some serious
race inspired looks to our project. Removing
the rims form their packaging revealed the rims
design features, but only from the outer appearance.
Inside the two piece rear rim design lays a
network of billet aluminum and o-rings that
keep this rim truly modular just incase an issue
would ever arise prompting the need for replacing
a part of the rim. Brass inserts rest inside
the carbon fiber and each rim comes complete
with all needed and required hardware for installation.
The true beauty of the dual beadlock design
is the ease of installing your tires, without
the expense of having a tire shop perform the
work for you!
