We’ve been designing and manufacturing off-road bits for over 15 years now. Even today, when a fresh steel part comes out of the mill, having lost many pounds from it’s carefully calibrated CNC diet, it’s impossible not to smile. It’s a cool job, the best really, and we couldn’t think of doing anything else. That is all for today, back to work we go.
Two things are for certain. First, prior King’s love to race. Second, prior King’s love to race new things. On the constant quest for lighter, faster, and stonger, Jason Scherer sets out, once again, to build the next best Ultra4 machine. Timing is just right, with this year’s KOH behind us Jason has some solid time to really dial things in, pushing the envelope with development and testing. This time, more than a few days prior to rolling into Hammertown:) .
Well, don’t just take our word for it, catch the full story over at DrivingLine.com . New builds are always a blast, and this one is going to be one to watch.

Amazing the things you find browsing the YouTubes late at night. Big thanks to Spidertrax’s International Ambassador Levi Shirley for finding and sending this one in. Wish we knew more about its origin, what we do know French daredevil Guerlain Chicherit has our respect. Check out the blue Ultimate Unit Bearing caps at 1:14, we were pretty blown away as well when we spotted it.
The promo video below does an even better job of showing off those Spider 9s, give it a pause at 0:48. We’ve always promoted Spider 9s as being a well versed high performance axle, this video seems to take that to an all new level. Good times!
There’s one thing that never get’s old, seeing Spider 9 axles in just about every off-road application imaginable. This epic shot is courtesy of Josh Lockett & Mud Life Magazine. You can read the story behind this photo on Fourwheeler.com at http://bit.ly/17qEXXI .
