The Universal 6-Bolt Quick Release Steering Wheel Adapter from DRT Motorsports provides a convenient and safe way to remove your steering wheel for security, easy entry/exit, and rapid driver changes. The quick-release gives you the ability to remove the steering wheel from your vehicle as a theft deterrent when stored or parked, and as a real ease-of-use upgrade for getting in and out of your cockpit.
This forged unit is manufactured and certified to SFI Spec 42.1. The patented ball-bearing locking system provides a positive, secure feel without the "slop" associated with other quick releases. The ball-bearing system also resists jamming from sand, dirt, or mud contamination — a critical advantage over splined configurations in dusty desert and trail environments. Adds 2.0" of space between your hub and steering wheel. Requires the DRT Motorsports Steering Wheel Billet Hub Adapter or equivalent (sold separately).

FAQ
What's SFI Spec 42.1?
SFI Spec 42.1 is the safety certification standard for quick-release steering wheel hubs in motorsports applications. SFI-certified units are tested and approved for racing use, including in sanctioning bodies that require certified quick releases.
Why ball-bearing instead of splined?
Splined quick releases can jam when contaminated with sand, dirt, or mud — common in desert and trail environments. The patented ball-bearing system provides a positive locking action that resists contamination jamming, making it more reliable for SXS use.
Do I need a hub adapter?
Yes. The quick-release requires the DRT Motorsports Steering Wheel Billet Hub Adapter or an equivalent 6-bolt hub sized for your specific UTV platform. The hub is sold separately so you can choose the correct one for your vehicle.
How much extension does it add?
2.0" of additional space between your factory hub mounting location and the steering wheel. This is standard for SFI-spec quick releases and accommodates the locking mechanism.
How does it serve as a theft deterrent?
Once installed, you can quickly disconnect the steering wheel by depressing the release collar. Take the wheel with you when storing or parking the vehicle — nobody drives off without your steering wheel.
Is it really easier to get in and out?
Yes. Removing the steering wheel gives you significantly more cockpit clearance for entry and exit. Particularly helpful for tall drivers, drivers using harnesses, or anyone with mobility considerations.
