ARIES has released a new running board designed for today’s trucks and SUVs. AscentStep 5-and-a-half inch running boards feature dual-construction step pads and a no-drill installation, using the VersaTrac mounting system.
ARIES AscentSteps are engineered with a teardrop-shaped profile and rounded end caps.
AscentStep running boards also have step pads with a two-part construction. The step pads are made up of a polyethylene tread that is overlaid by a stainless-steel plate. The poly treads protrude through the metal overlay, providing safe and non-skid traction. The stainless-steel plates ensure long-lasting corrosion resistance in spite of frequent foot traffic, according to the company.
AscentSteps are made from powder-coated carbon steel. The powder coat is a durable carbide black finish that offers long-lasting resistance to rust, chipping and UV damage.
