Bolt-On Hubs Booste ATV Traction ATV'S ATV'S 33-4-25 If you get into a lot of mud with your ATV, you'll like these new bolt-on "hubs".
J-wheelz hubs fit any 23 to 26-in. tire and are designed to contact the ground only in off-road conditions. Rubberized traction blades that fit into slots on the hub are flexible to absorb impacts and can be easily replaced as they wear. Made from impact-resistant copolymer, the hubs bolt onto the existing wheel, widening it with a unique shape that allows it to handle deep mud without affecting the drivability of the vehicle.
"They work great for flooded fields, feedlots, deep snow, and any muddy area," says inventor Jake Mills, Brookings, S. Dak. "They're lighter weight and lower cost than dual wheels, and they don't affect the vehicle's steering or top speed on the road. The hubs weigh about 7 lbs. each so they add a minimal amount of weight for the extra traction they provide."
Kits are available for almost every ATV, says Mills.
A kit of four J-wheelz sells for $590.
