Description
Solid aluminium rim from BGM PRO made by FA.Italia. This rim allows the mounting of tubeless tyres, as they are common in the motorcycle sector. It replaces the standard rim without any further modification. The advantages are
- 40% weight saving
- safety plus through double-hump
- Better response of the chassis
- Good runout
- Easy assembly
- Appealing appearance
WEIGHT REDUCTION
The weight saving compared to an original PX steel rim is 600 grams. In addition, there is a weight saving of approx. 370 grams due to the no longer needed tube. The unsprung masses are thus reduced by almost one kilogram per axle (over 64%). The response behaviour of the chassis improves noticeably.
SAFETY
Due to a double so-called hump in the rim bed, the tyre is always guided safely in the rim. Similar to the latest runflat technology in the automotive sector, if a foreign object (nail or similar) is driven into the rim, the air can escape slowly without the tyre slipping into the rim well. The vehicle comes to a controlled stop. The rim has recesses between the screw-on points. The cooling of the brake is improved.
SPECIALITIES
The track offset is 2.5 millimetres on the left side. Mounting the aluminium rims on both axles equalises the track offset. This is not noticeable when driving.
The rim has no test mark and is not approved for road use.
Only for tubeless (TL) tyres. Do not mount tubetype (TT) tyres.
The delivery includes six closed high cap nuts (chrome-plated, SW12) and a screwed-in metal valve (M8x1.25mm). Rim weight 900 grams.
