The dust has settled, the engines have cooled, and history has been made. Kyle Chaney, in his Can-am Maverick R, has just won the 2025 King of the Hammers (KOH) main event, the Race of Kings.

Securing 1st Place overall in the premiere 4400 class, typically reserved and dominated by ultra-exotic custom creations with four-wheel-drive, high-horsepower, and massive tires, Chaney piloted a modified Cam-Am UTV and shocked on-lookers by winning the race 30 minutes ahead of the second place finisher. This is the first time a UTV side-by-side vehicle has won the Race of Kings, although Kyle came very close with an impressive attempt in 2024.

The King of the Hammers is touted as the world's most grueling and prestigious off-road racing event. Eibach, the Official Race Spring of King of the Hammers, or as we like to call it, the Spring of the Hammers, proudly stood at the forefront of the action, not only as an event sponsor but as a key component of multiple race-winning performances including a vital component on Chaney's victorious Maverick R.

Kyle tackled the brutal 225-mile course, comprised of the Red Lap (64.9 miles), White Lap (85 miles with an additional 20 miles of rock terrain), and Blue Lap (75 miles of intensified difficulty), in a total time of 7 hours, 53 minutes, and 45.051 seconds. His fastest lap clocked in at 1 hour, 10 minutes, and 39.671 seconds.

Reflecting on his monumental achievement, Chaney credited Eibach for enabling crucial adjustments that fine-tuned his suspension for peak performance. "Thanks to Eibach, we were able to make a spring change on the lakebed to get my FOX shocks perfect for the Race of Kings," Kyle remarked. Being Chaney's sixth time competing at KOH, he has four wins in the 4900 class and now one win in the 4400 class.
