This simple but crucial component is essential—it keeps the tire from spinning on the rim under extreme acceleration or during heavy braking. When a vehicle accelerates rapidly, there's a risk that inertia might cause the tire to rotate on the rim instead of with it. This can lead to a loss of pressure and potentially damage the valve stem, causing immediate deflation, which can set off a range of dangerous scenarios, especially when driving at high speeds or in challenging conditions. The same issue can arise during heavy braking. The purpose of a rim lock is to clamp the tire to the wheel, preventing any such slip and maintaining the correct tire positioning on the rim at all times.
Considering its dimensions, the Rim Lock VM4 is specifically sized at 2.50''. It's important to note that using a correct-sized rim lock is crucial for ensuring an optimal fit and preventing damage to the wheel rim. An undersized rim lock might fail to hold the tire position under strain, whereas an oversized one could damage the tire or rim upon installation or during use.
The rim lock comprises two main parts: a metal bracket and a rubber base. The curved metal bracket fits closely against the inside of the tire, and the rubber base sits against the rim itself to prevent it from sliding around.
The Rim Lock VM4 (2.50'') is an important safety device. While small and simple in construction, rim locks can have a direct impact on vehicle performance and driver safety, providing crucial stability during acceleration and deceleration.
When replacing or installing this rim lock on compatible KTM and KTM PowerParts vehicles, follow the manufacturer's instructions and guidelines to ensure correct installation and optimize its function and safety.
