The Avid Truss eighth Wheel V2 offers a extra constant wheel in all circumstances and continues to permit the tire to carry out after it has misplaced its preliminary edge. With our first model of this wheel, we developed a number of options that had by no means been seen by the trade and we realized loads about what to do and to not do. So now we have moved to a extra conventional ribbing sample with the addition of a triangle truss function proper the place the hex applies essentially the most torque into the plastic wheel. We saved the normal concave face that everybody has come to like over the previous 10 years however with a barely much less aggressive curvature. The tire glue bead ribs on the surface have additionally been shortened to make your touchdown extra plush permitting the froth to soak up the power as a substitute of the rubber tire hitting the taller rib generally seen. Last however not least we felt it essential to make the wheel nut mounting space have fewer cutouts so there’s extra materials for the wheel nut to carry onto.
