For more than 30 years, Marchesini has been the leading manufacturer of motorcycle wheels in Italy. Taking advantage of its market leading technology and experience in Forged Aluminium, Marchesini is proud to launch its new Supermotard wheel. The first company to offer an alternative to the commonly used spoke wheel. By integrating the wheel design used by the most successful teams in Moto GP and World Superbike championships and further timely geometric designs and research of special materials, Marchesini offers a new generation of wheels that overcomes the extreme demands required to improve SUPERMOTARD performance.
Results
The most notable results were found in terms of mass and inertia reduction, when compared to wheels currently on the market, the following average results were noticed.
* 110% improvement on rigidity.
* 15% weight reduction per set.
* 15% inertia reduction per set.
Advantages
* The increased rigidity of the wheel and the reduced weight and inertia remarkably improve the motorcycle's stability under braking, in tight curves and direction changes which are typical in SUPERMOTARD circuits.
* Due to the “spoke” design wheel/tyre temperatures reach optimum conditions earlier ensuring the best grip in all conditions.
* Tubeless technology and anti–puncture systems eliminate use of inner tubes.
* Spokes require no maintenance between races.
* Wheels are more easily installed and in most cases allow space for better brake systems.
Our Supermotard wheels have already been rigorously tested by major riders in international races with excellent results and encouraging remarks.
