Bead Grip® technology, exclusive to Method, integrates Bead Grip grooves on both the inner and outer bead seat to engage the tire bead for a stronger hold under extreme side load and lower air pressures. The wheel’s 'safety hump' also gets a more aggressive profile which further stabilizes the tire bead in the seat. Not only is this technology popular on the trails where airing down increases traction and ride quality, but it's been implemented on the course by off-road racers. For racers, they save the additional weight a beadlock wheel adds without sacrificing the tire security. Top racers in the sport Luke McMillin, Nasser Al-Attiyah, the Polaris Factory Race Team, and others have won major off-road races like the Baja 1000, Dakar Rally, FINKE Desert Race, and more running Method wheels with Bead Grip tech. The performance of this technology in these extreme conditions has earned Bead Grip tech the moniker "Race Proven".
