Similar to our OE style tri-hub replacement kit, this kit uses the OE factory upgrade for the 8" tri-hub rear axle common on the 2018 and prior sleds that came equipped with only the inner wheels. This new style axle has the wheel bearings pressed onto the axle. With this configuration, should an axle bolt start to loosen the wheels stay fixed to the shaft. With a sleeved style fitment common on other axles, a loose bolt results in the whole assembly being loose and the wheels are loose on the shaft. When compared to the original tri-hub design, a single bearing or wheel failure will not result in loss of function of both wheels. It's an upgraded design that adds a level of strength and safety. This kit uses our billet 8" wheels, high performance ceramic hybrid bearings, axle and bolts and ships with the wheels already pressed on the axle for a quick and easy install with your exisitng axle adjustment hardware.
The wheels have a gloss black powder coating accent and are equipped with rubber around their outer edge.
The rubber on these wheels isn't glued on like some of the other guys, that simply just doesn't last. Our rubber fits into a machined groove in the wheels kind of like a car tire. The rubber allows your wheels to be run with a studded track, provides protection in low-snow conditions and will not get ice build up, which can happen if you don't have rubber on your wheels. Our supplier has been making billet wheels with rubber since 2008 and has had great results, having many customers that have over 10,000 km on the wheels with no issues with the rubber failing. These are the same wheels used in our ultra-premium 4th wheel outside idler kit.
