Snap Off system
What is the Snap-Off System?
The Snap-off system is a TUV approved race-bred quick release system. Made from aircraft grade cast aluminum, the system was originally developed for an exotic Italian car manufacturer's racing effort. Unlike other race-type quick release systems, the Snap-off system was made to bolt directly onto a standard TUV approved collapsible (TEKNIQ) hub kit. It requires no welding or other irreversible modifications to the car's steering mechanism and accepts any TEKNIQ steering wheel. It became apparent that this system had applications in other than racing, and was quickly adapted for use on the street, as a very effective theft deterrent. A car parked on the street without a steering wheel presents a formidable challenge to a car thief.
Snap-Off STREET
The Snap-Off STREET is TEKNIQ'S street-legal version of the original race part. The STREET version is built to the same rugged specifications as the RACE but has some very useful and essential design innovations built into the system. It is painted a sedate black to blend seamlessly into modern car interiors.
The first innovation is the automatic failsafe locking feature. The STREET uses an automatic locking system that is engaged as soon as the steering wheel is placed on the hub. There is no need to manually lock the wheel onto the hub, nor is a key required to do this. This is very important if the system is going to be used by family members or your significant other, not all of whom may be conscientious enough to painstakingly lock the device each time they get into the car to drive. There is therefore no likelihood of the steering wheel inadvertently or accidentally releasing from the hub while the car is in motion.
The second innovation has to do with the security of the system. Imagine that the system becomes so common that most cars are equipped with it. Car thieves could buy the system just as easily as you or I and could theoretically use their own steering wheels to heist cars. To prevent this, TEKNIQ made each STREET unique - the mating pins between the steering and hub are located in a random placement order with virtually millions of different combinations. No two STREET systems are alike and the thief is thwarted if any other STREET system is used in an attempt to steal the car.
