This tight (now wickedly tight) short course style field combines lap based endurance racing with strategically placed rock gardens to be raced, crawled, and jumped over.

When we set out to build the markets strongest off-road unit bearing, little did we know just how much impact our creation would have. We’ve seen our Ultimate Unit Bearings pop up in just about every application you could think of including one of our latest finds, a back-flipping Mini Cooper ( http://wp.me/pCSYo-Rp ). Time to add-in another unique installment, custom one-off Wide 5 edition Ultimate Unit Bearings. Complete with a massive Wide 5 bolt pattern and integrated rear mounted brake hat register, these in-house designed & manufactured Ultimate Unit Bearings will certainly grab anyones attention. Have a unique bolt pattern you’re after, send us an email and let us know. We’d love to help out!
