Hi-Torque Rollers ? vs. BDX Rock Rollers

[ArcticFamily]

Will be buying one of these set's... looking for experiences of users, happy or otherwise between the two.

I've you've used both or have both being used in your riding group, I'd be interested in your experiences.

I like the hi-Torque better never any problems with them had a buddy with the bd rollers any they blowup.BD is a good place to buy things just think the hi-torque roller are a little better

As far as I know, no hi-torques have ever cracked and come apart (been around ALOT longer than the rock rollers, too). I'm not affiliated with either company. I have the hi-torques on my '02MC, and sledjunkies on my M7.

Third season on Hi-Torques and they look just like the day I bought 'em!

hi torques are phenolic. it's a laminate or layered type of product. not sure what they use, but it could be paper, could be fabric. there are different kinds of phenolic. either way, these aren't ever going to crack apart. they could burn and simply wear out, but won't crack. they're hard also. however, they will absorb moisture.

the black rock rollers were acetal. bad material choice. known to break apart. the newer ones were a PTFE teflon filled acetal, a milky brown color. better choice, but not the best.

two completely different materials in these two products. neither are really a bearing material, but have heard the hi-torques do last.

stock are nylon. extremely tough cheap material. don't hold up to heat well as you may have found out.
