Wheel Compatibility

1 post in this topic

All,

 

I've recently noticed that the X-11 wheels are extremely heavy and would like to replace them in the future with a lighter wheel, preferably something OEM like a CBR1000RR wheel, but i was wondering if anyone knew which wheel could be fitted and what complexity was involved?

 

ie: new discs required or spacers, new wheel spacers, new sprocket carrier. etc... 

 

The X-11 wheels weighed in at:

 

7.95 kg front with discs (12.1 complete with tires)

12.xx (cant remember) with sprocket and disc (18.7 complete with tires)

 

My friends Marchesini wheels for his Hypermotard weighed in a under 8kg for the front wheel with tire! Now I know these are forged rims and very expensive but if i managed to change front and rear wheels for something more performance oriented and light weight I could be saving around 10kg in total on the bike! And rotating mass too so the difference should be very noticeable!

 

Any advice is very much appreciated.
