RACE PROVEN

From off-road racing to rolling on the streets, our wheels share the same cutting-edge technology whether you are racing Dakar or doing the school run.

Bead Grip® Technology, exclusive to Method Race Wheels, integrates Bead Grip® grooves on both the inner and outer bead seat to engage the tyre 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 stabilises the tyre bead in the seat. Not only is this technology popular on the trails, 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 tyre security. Top racers in the sport like Toby Price, 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 Race Wheels with Bead Grip® Technology. The performance of this technology in these extreme conditions has earned Bead Grip® Technology the moniker "Race Proven".

Having a reputation of being one of the most difficult off road courses in one of the most remote places in the world, the Finke is a two day off road race in the Northern Territory of Australia from Alice Springs to Finke and back. See what it takes to be Finke Proven™.

Racers go against typical outback terrain of red dirt, sand, native plants and desert oak trees. The race gained the reputation as the richest Off-Road Race in Australia. With an increase in popularity the Finke added the introduction of cars and off-road buggies in 1988. For many years the buggies couldn’t keep up with the bikes, until 1999 when a buggy took home the win. The next following years would be a rivalry between cars and bikes to see who could take home the title of “Kings of the Desert.”
