Eibach Helps Deliver Top Performances at 20th King of the Hammers
As the Official Race Spring of one of the most demanding off-road events in the world, Eibach-equipped vehicles put on impressive performances…
Eibach was the Official Race Spring at the 20th anniversary of King of the Hammers (KOH) in Johnson Valley, California. The 2026 event featured more than 770 teams across eight races, welcomed approximately 80,000 attendees and reached over 2.5 million online viewers.
Celebrating its 75th anniversary globally, Eibach supported racers pushing vehicles to their limits while delivering a strong presence on the course, throughout Hammertown and across the event’s global livestream, all while reinforcing its “Engineered To Win” philosophy, company officials stated in a press release.
Eibach Booth Was a Hub for Racers & Fans in Hammertown
Located across from the KOH General Store, Eibach Booth 77 was a central gathering place for racers and fans during the two-week event. Eibach’s team provided hands-on suspension support, tuning advice and access to Made-in-USA springs. The brand’s footprint extended along “Eibach Straße,” backed by large-format inflatable signage and consistent exposure throughout official livestream broadcasts.
Eibach’s booth featured springs, shocks and suspension systems. The company also participated in giveaways, including an Eibach-liveried Vanquish H10 Optic RTR RC Jeep.
Eibach-Equipped Vehicles Winning Where It Counts
On the racecourse, Eibach-powered competitors delivered standout performances across multiple classes, noted the release. Christopher Polvoorde claimed an overall victory in the Toyo Tires Desert Challenge Presented by Monster Energy, earning his third consecutive win at King of the Hammers.
In UTV competition, Phil Blurton captured a class win in UTV Pro Modified, while Jeremy McGrath, “The King,” added to his legendary resume with a victory in the Pro Stock NA UTV class during UTV Hammers aboard his Eibach-equipped Kawasaki Teryx KRX1000 Rock Edition.
Further success came from Cayden MacCachren, who qualified first and secured a strong second-place finish in the highly competitive 4900 class, underscoring the consistency and confidence drivers place in Eibach suspension technology, the company said.
Eibach Tested at the Race of Kings
The Race of Kings once again proved why it is considered one of the most brutal motorsports events on the planet, with only two competitors officially reaching the finish.
Josh Byler drove to an impressive second-place result in a race defined by extreme attrition. His performance highlighted the durability, consistency and mental toughness required to conquer Johnson Valley’s most punishing challenge.
Paul Wolff delivered one of the most memorable performances of the week in his single-seat IFS car. After qualifying more than two minutes ahead of the field and completing a last-minute overnight transmission swap, Wolff charged through the course as a solo Ironman competitor. He became the first driver to descend the infamous “5 Minute Trail” during the race and advanced farther than most of the field.
