Overview: There are a lot of factors that go into making a great wheel. Obviously, there is style which is highly subjective but there are also a number of features that can enhance the performance of your rig in addition to making it look good on the trail.
When we set out to develop the Owl Talon wheel we wanted something that was substantial, looked clean, had a proper offset, and raised the amount of abuse the wheel could take.
Features & Benefits:
- Colors: Satin Black, Graphite Grey, Bronze (Wheel center cap is all BLACK)
- Size: 17"8"
- Bolt Pattern: 6x130mm
- Lug Nut Seat Style: Cone
- Lightweight rugged aluminum
- Bead Retention Ring
- Highest Load rating in the industry: 4200lbs per wheel
- Dual valve stem system (Apex Valve sold separately)
- Tires are not included
- Dual Valve Stem System - We know how critical lowering air pressure is for traction off-road. We also show what pain is and how time-consuming it can be to lower tire pressure. That's why we decided to innovate on the Owl Talon and include a second valve stem location. This second valve stem allows you to run the factory TPMS (tire pressure monitors) and an Apex quick air dump system. This dual-valve stem system allows for the best of both worlds.
Tech Info:
- Owl Talon - 4200lbs (Talon wheel weight 32lbs)
- BR Barstow - 2700lbs (Wheel weight 32lbs)
- BR Arsenal - 2600lbs (Wheel weight 32lbs)
- Method 701 - 3600lbs (Wheel weight 28lbs
- Load Capacity - At close to 6,000 pounds before your gear, the Grenadier is no lightweight. That's why our Talons have the highest weight rating of any wheel in the industry. What does that increased load-carrying capacity mean for performance? It means this wheel won't leave you stranded when you're off the beaten path. Overbuilt gear is the key to safe adventures.
- Offset - The offset of a wheel in basic terms is how much it sticks out the side of the van. All Grenadier wheels are a positive offset and the lower the number the farther the wheel will stick out the side of the vehicle (filling the wheel well and widening the track. A wider track is key for stability offroad and even more important if you have any weight up high like a rooftop tent. Better offset means a lower center of gravity. In the image below you can see how far tucked under the Grenadier the stock wheel (right) is compared to the Talon (left)
! NOTE: Apex valves are not required. If you don't order the Apex valves with the wheels you can simply install a second standard valve stem.
