I know this is old but I love mine. If u actually take care of them they'll out last aluminum bead locks.

I loved mine. I used the same front set for 5 race seasons, and only replaced the beadlock rings and orings once.
I ran 9inch dual beadlock rears, and shattered one, but that was probably more my fault, i cased a 100ft double, and destroyed a lot of other things on my quad and had to walk with a cane for 3 months, after that i purchased the CF1's with the single beadlock, and never had a problem

Hiper's customer service is top notch, and if you maintain them, theyll last a long time, just make sure you torque the rings to the proper spec everytime, or theyll leak a little, and you might strip out the brass inserts.

Im running aluminum rims this year, and have already bent 2 rears, and have a front rim that leaks.

If you race Motocross and jump any jumps I would not recommend them. We lost a couple of important races do to them shattering. If you come up short or flat land you will pretty much shatter them. We will never run them again, due to lost races and rider safety.

I think there not worth the money and some tires never seem to seal right on them.

But the customer service is top notch

For the cost of a set u could almost get two sets of itp's or dwt's
My 2cents

they suck. i have 4 bad hypers. they work good when new.

they are also heavy. and the bead lock rings will fail. ok no big deal.

the bad its the metal inserts where the bolts go. it a bolt gets stuck on the inserts theres no way to replace or remove. and they know about this.

i think that they are good for gncc but not for mx. if you do have a set make sure you always clean the inserts.

I feel a little awkward posting this after reading the reviews above, but I've had good service out of my HiPers for five years. I've had them on two different bikes and only changed the ring because the blue was fading into purple. I've flat landed more times than I want to remember on the track and bounce them off a few trees in the woods without shattering them.

Yeah I got a rear pair that I've used one time. They held up that one race haha. They aren't much lighter than any other beadlock. Only reason I don't run them anymore is because I don't have any beveled lugnuts for these off-threaded lugs. Also a down fall, their mud caps are 25 a piece. Not a set. And all they are is 1/8th inch clear plastic circles with three tiny metal clips haha.

The mud caps can be made for $15. Just go to Home Depot and buy a sheet of clear 1/8th" Makrolon and a piece of 3/32" x1" flat bar. Trace the inside diameter of your lock rings and cut out of the sheet, allow 1/8". Cut the flat bar into 1.5" o.a.l. strips. Drill a 1/4 inch hole in one end, approx 1/2" from the end and a 1/8" hole approx 1/4 from the other end. Do this 12 times. These will serve as your tabs. Secure the tabs under the lock ring using the 1/4 inch holes on the bolt holes indicated on the lock ring with dots. Then, secure the clear plastic sheet discs to the tabs thru holes drilled to match the tabs with sheet metal screws. I've made this setup four or five times and it works well.
