Jan 29, 2025
By Douglas Topott
KAHN® has unveiled the Hammerhead RS-Forged Light Alloy Wheel, a triumph of engineering that blends rugged performance with refined design. Crafted for the discerning off-road enthusiast, the Hammerhead elevates not only the look but also the capability of every vehicle it’s paired with.
The Design
Designed to endure the most demanding terrains, the Hammerhead wheel supports an extraordinary 5-ton load (1,250 kg per corner), making it the ideal choice for heavy-duty off-roading. Whether you're powering through tough trails or cruising motorways, this wheel is engineered to tackle the roughest conditions with ease. It’s a perfect match for vehicles like the Ineos Grenadier, Land Rover Defender (L663), and a range of capable 4x4s, SUVs, and vans.
Crafted from high-performance materials using the latest technology, the Hammerhead wheel is as tough as it is stylish. Every detail has been engineered to ensure it not only performs at the highest level but stands out with a striking visual presence.
A Timeless Design with Modern Flair
Following the success of our renowned Huntsman wheel, the 20” Hammerhead strikes a perfect balance between rugged durability and captivating design. The wheel’s bold, aggressive aesthetic is complemented by a sleek, modern profile, making it as much a visual statement as a performance upgrade for your vehicle.
Drawing inspiration from the iconic wheels that have graced Dakar Rally vehicles since the 1960s, the Hammerhead features a contemporary twist on classic design elements. The outer rim nods to KAHN®’s signature G06 wheel, while the central window apertures are reminiscent of the brand’s celebrated British Heritage wheel, ensuring a seamless connection in the design across the entire KAHN® range.
Precision Engineering and Unmatched Performance
The Hammerhead wheel is the result of over two years of precise engineering, design refinement, and expert craftsmanship. Under the direction of KAHN®’s Chief Designer Afzal Kahn, the design team meticulously honed every detail to deliver a wheel that combines elegance with unparalleled performance. It’s a wheel that’s built to perform in the most extreme conditions, yet still exudes luxury and sophistication.
