Ineos Grenadier Alloy Wheel Force Forged Matte Black
The Force20 beadlock rim is constructed in two parts and is offered either as a delta Force20 Monoblock Casted using a low-pressure casting process or as a forged rim, the delta Force20 Forged.
The main difference between the two models lies in the strength for which they are designed: the forged beadlock rim is tested for a wheel load of 2,500 kg, while the beadlock casted rim is manufactured for a load capacity of 1,800 kg. Both rims are designed so that tires can be mounted with or without a beadlock ring.
What's behind beadlock technology?
This is a mechanical device that firmly connects the tire to the rim: In a standard wheel, the tire is pressed against the rim bead by the inflation pressure and thus secured. If the air pressure drops, the tire loses its grip and can consequently slip completely off the rim. This can happen, for example, if there is a puncture in the tire or if the inflation pressure has been intentionally reduced for off-road use to build more traction on sand, snow, or mud due to increased flexing. To prevent this dangerous situation for the vehicle and driver, the tire is pressed onto the rim flange with a beadlock ring from delta4x4 during mounting using beadlock technology. This ensures the tire is always firmly connected to the rim – regardless of whether it has air or not.
Even with extremely strong acceleration or braking, the friction forces between the rim and tire may not be sufficient, allowing both components to rotate against each other. This is also prevented by the beadlock system, which mechanically fixes the tire (locks it). The word "bead," on the other hand, translates to "rim bed." Thus, beadlock stands for "a tire that is mechanically fixed in the rim bed."
Where are beadlock rims used?
Basically, this technology originates from the military, where it is important that operational vehicles remain functional even after a complete loss of tire pressure. The armed forces demand that their vehicles can temporarily still drive at a speed of 80 km/h for up to 100 kilometers. This is made possible by beadlock technology with a beadlock ring and a run-flat element.
Meanwhile, beadlock rims are increasingly being used in civilian applications – for example, in armored vehicles and increasingly in expedition vehicles and long-distance rallies. Here, the advantage is that the tire inflation pressure can be reduced to a minimum without the tire coming off the rim.
