Off-road vehicles are the pride and joy of their owners, who seek accessories to customize their vehicles. It’s even better when the desired accessory serves a practical purpose in addition to enhancing the ATV’s appearance.
The universal spare tire mount offered by Kimpex is a perfect example.
First of all, the accessory looks great when installed on an ATV. But it also ensures you always have a spare tire on hand in case of an irreparable flat tire on the trail. This provides peace of mind for those who venture deep into the woods.
Sturdy steel construction
UTVs are constantly put to the test by the relentless shocks and jolts imposed on the chassis while riding. To meet this demand, this universal spare tire mount was designed to be sturdy and built to last.
The high-quality steel components are coated with black electrostatic paint, which will keep the accessory free from rust and other weather-related damage. Electrostatic painting is an industrial painting technique that makes the paint adhere more firmly to the metal. It is based on the fundamental principle of magnetic attraction: opposites attract. The paint and the surface to be painted are given opposite electrical charges (the paint receives a positive charge, and the surface to be painted a negative charge or is simply grounded).
This method allows the paint to adhere tightly to the metal, ensuring a smooth, uniform finish and excellent adhesion that will last over time.
Simple installation that takes 15 minutes
All you need are a few hand tools to install it: Allen wrenches and a set of ratchet wrenches with sockets. Its universal design allows it to fit any type of roll cage on an ATV, whether vertically or, as in the case of the Polaris RZR we used, on an angled surface. Installation takes about fifteen minutes, which is quick. The assembly instructions are clear. The support bars are secured at three mounting points without any modifications to the vehicle’s existing holes. In fact, the accessory is secured with three retaining rings that attach to the tubular posts. But be aware: these clamps are sold separately depending on the cage diameter (1 ¾ inches or 2 inches).
Also, one of the main advantages of this spare tire mount is that it doesn’t obstruct the cargo area and leaves that space completely clear for the rest of your belongings and essentials.
Review of the Kimpex Spare Tire Mount in Use.
First of all, the spare tire attaches to the mount without tools. The entire process is done using an integrated socket handle. Simple and well-designed. The mount’s appearance and its aesthetic integration with the vehicle are excellent. While driving, the whole setup is solid and nothing moves.
One advantage of this spare tire mount is that it doesn’t take up cargo space in the vehicle, which remains completely clear for transporting gear. However, it obstructs the view through the rear window.
The Verdict
In conclusion, side-by-side vehicles are getting heavier and more powerful, and the risk of a wheel coming off the rim or a flat tire is an increasingly real danger. This accessory allows you to carry a spare tire.
The greatest strength of this Kimpex mount is its ease of use and sturdy design. It does the job it’s supposed to do and will continue to do so for a long time, all at a more than reasonable price.
