[MATOS] Hyper vs. Matter

Hi (excuse me I don't speak french Sad

but I can read it Smile

)

I have been using Matter F180r (80mm) wheels on extreme downhill (12-18%) with hard turns and hard slides.

I was really surprised because after near 12-15 runs in that conditions my wheels were in a very good conditions. I put photos for you to see them after that.

My weight is 60kg, maybe if I were heavier they would have been more damaged.

The question is: Is this normal? Hyper wheels are as resistent as Matter?

what do you think about hyper vs matter? what about the grip?

It's the first time I have tried Matter wheels but I have never tried hyper.

Je traduit pour les non anglophiles

Hello (excusez moi je ne parle pas français mais je peux le lire)
Je viens juste d'utiliser des roues Matter F180r (80mm) lors d'une session de descente extrème (12-18%) avec de gros virages et de gros slides.

Je suis vraiment surpris après 12 à 15 runs dans ces conditions mes roues sont en trés bonnes conditions. J'ai mis des photos pour que vous puissiez les voir après cela.

Je pèse 60kg peut être que si j'étais plus lourd il y aurait eu plus de dégats.

La question est: est ce normal? Les roues Hyper sont elles aussi resistantes que les Matter?
Que pensez vous de Hyper contre Matter? Et question grip?
C'est la première fois que j'essaye des Matter mais je n'ai jamais essayé d'Hyper.

Peut être peux tu nous préciser la dureté des Matter (80, 85A...)?

Personnelement je suis assez content de la résitance des Hyper même trop cela fait 2 mois que j'attends de gagner quelques milimetres pour passer des 80mm usées à l'avant de mes Missions... finalement j'ai acheté des Twister II Cool

I think for your weight any wheel could be ok

but i know that the matter wheels are not good wheels

see : (picture from a downhill rider)

oh my god!!

it has been produced because of the high speed and the hot of the bearings, isn't it?

the rubber appear to be in good condition while the hub is completely destroyed.

where do you find a downhill in which you can run so fast??? Smile

I want to destroy wheels!!! Smile

thanks a lot for the info.

hi...I was suprised about the matter's quality (my english is very poor)...

A rider told me, one day, that an oder trade mark is wellknow for downhill.
Wheels's name is "revolution" .I'm not exactly sure about this but you can take look aboot them. There are not very expensive (6,5 euro) maybe cheaper than the "hyper" Very Happy

revolution wheels are not very good for downhill

the best wheels for downhill are hyper +grip wheels

the grip on revolution wheels is not very regular

but it depends of the generation of the wheel, the first generation was very good,

i don't know if the nowadays generation of the revolution wheels is good or not

the photo of the matter wheels is from 2004, the wheels that I tested are from 2006. Maybe things have changed from 2004 Smile

I have bought a set of hyper wheels to test and compare.

Also I have tried revolution wheels, I don't like the grip, as dim says, it's not regular, that is the word.

A propos des +Grip.

au vu de la qualité de ces roues, ridés et approuvés par des milliers de Riders. Comment faire de la descente avec autre choses qu'un jeu de plus +Grip.
Le compromis adhérance/glisse est optimum, l'usure régulière si on prend le soin de bien les tournées, et le prix Messieurs est plus que raisonnable.

PS: la + Grip est aux descendeurs, ce que Jacques Vabres est au Café !

A bon freeRider; salut...

tu peux tenter en nano racing.

des roues qui apparament accrochent un peu moins que les +grip, mais qui ont un tres bonnedurée de vie, et un prix tres résonable.

probleme : en 80mm le prix est bien, en 84 le prix se rapproche trop des +grip et ca ne vaut plus le coup.
