Dragging at the dunes might not be so bad, but I don't know about jumping. I think I would want something a little more heavy duty.

They are made to be light weight.. not strong.
I doubt they could take much abuse.
Small jumps, maybe. Bigger jumps, almost definately not.

The one I have is 15 lbs lighter then stock with the hubs and all..............

Also I think they are narrower than stock to help the quad/trike going in a straight line. Not 100% sure on this one.

my buddy who use to wrench on pro quads said he seen them break on TT bikes already.

so they wont take much abuse at all
