BEADLOCK TECHNOLOGY EXPLAINED | PDW WHEELS

A beadlock is a mechanical device that secures the bead of a tyre to the wheel. When inflated, the pressure pushes the bead of the tyre against the inner wheel rim enhance the clamping force on the tyre bead from the ring and withstand extreme side loads for maximum tractions. Beadlock wheels secure the bead of a tyre to the wheel to lock it in place. While friction and air pressure typically keep the tyre properly aligned with the wheel, beadlock attach to the bead of the tire in order to prevent the bead from separating, basically “locking” the tire in place. The advantage of beadlock wheel is to be able to get maximum traction out of your tyres and allow you to run on lower air pressure without the risk of a tyre rolling off from the wheel.
