Description
OVERVIEW
The 701Bead Gripwheel was designed to be the perfect wheel for overland enthusiasts. TheBead Griptechnology allows deflation of tires down to pressures that previously would have required beadlock wheels to make sure tires didnt debead. Its advantageous to reduce tire inflation pressure while off-roading to increase a tires contact patch surface area for better traction on loose surfaces as well as improve ride comfort by effectively reducing the spring rate of the tire. The valve was strategically placed for extra protection in harsh riding environments.
Our unique Bahia Blue color, inspired by the coastline of the Baja peninsula, is sure to transform your ride into a show stopper.

HIGHER GRIP AT LOWER PRESSURE. ONLY FROM METHOD.
WHAT IT IS:
Patented Bead Grip technology aims to be the bridge between a conventional street wheel and a beadlock, which is often not legal for highway use. Reducing air pressure in the tire increases traction and ride quality while on the trail. The ability to safely run lower pressures without having to worry about the tire de-beading along with staying highway legal will undoubtedly be a bonus to off-road enthusiasts.
WHY ITS OFF-ROAD PROVEN:
The integrated Bead Grip grooves, found on both the inner and outer bead seat, engage the tire bead for a stronger hold under extreme side load and lower air pressures. The wheels ‘safety hump’ also gets a more aggressive profile which further stabilizes the tire bead in the seat.
