Apex 6 Wheels weight vs stock video ;)

[c10]

Ok everyone here it is by the numbers . This is Gen 2 wheels off a ABS bike , but speed rings were removed . There could be a 1 or 2 ounce difference on Non-ABS Gen 2 wheels .

Stock wheels as follows

Front = 10 lb 13 ounces

Rear = 16 lb 13 ounces

Total combined = 27 lb 10 oz

New Apex 6 set # 18

Front = 7 lb 8 ounces

Rear = 11 lb 10 ounces ( 11 lb 9 oz with Titanium sprocket nuts )

Total 19 lb 2 oz

Weight saved 8 lb 8 oz

Notes worth mentioning . Tire relief valley is deeper than stock wheels . This will make tire mounting easy especially on some of the stiffer side wall brand tires .
The heavy spot on both wheels is at the valve stem on the balance stand with no tire mounted up .
World wide bearings are AWESOME!!!

I wont have a ride review for a little bit due to 30,000 miles i'm servicing the forks with new seals, bushings , oil . Even though they are not leaking yet ! Most miles ever for me out of a set of fork seals . Parts will be in by end of week . Maybe i'll find time to get it done asap to give you guys a review .

Timely post-I'm looking to purchase as set of gold wheels for my newly purchased 2014 red Busa and will put these on the list to choose from.
I had my mind set on the Marchesini's 10 spoke, but they don't make wheels for the Busa anymore. Looking at Galespeed Type R's, OZ 6 spoke Gass RS's, and now these.

Were these love at first sight or were you looking at other wheels?

I like a lot of what I see from these wheels except maybe keeping them clean due to indention's hollow area's. Look forward to seeing more pictures of these on bikes, especially Busa's.

Many other brands have same indents in spokes to clean . Yes these were what I desired over every model / brand . Blue collar man can't afford BST nor are they the best for my application touring across country .

Front mounted up, and balance with 0.6 ounce. The weights are motion pro 1/8 OZ each block

 

[c10]

Rear 1. 2 ounces to balance out. With Cush drive / sprocket installed.
Never had such a nice / flat surface to apply wheel weights.

That's a lot of weights! I wonder if they balanced mine right?

a half ounce / 1.2 ounce rear is a a lot of weight ? No that is not bad at all two squares equal a 1/4 ounce .

Looking very nice. I love the black. Mounting my tires tomorrow. Hope by the end of the week I will have pics with them mounted.

I showed my wife your pictures and videos and her response was atypical of a wife "you have wheels so why do you need other ones?"

That was pretty much the end of that conversation...looks like I am living vicariously through others.

Daammmmnn lookin good!! Oh man I can’t wait to see RJ with his dancing shoes
Pretty awesome that you mounted and balanced without ever leaving home

 

[mabupa]

looking forward to pictures! I find these wheels very similar to the OZs I have, but with the charger curve on the spokes.

Spoke to Luke { core moto president} today.
Just a winner of customer service. We talked-about torque numbers / tire relief valley, and the testing of the wheels on a ZX14 for DOT / TUV testing. ZX14 due to its the heaviest bike they make wheels for, and then they add more weight!

I'm just happy to have a Hayabusa really.....

After 29 yrs of putting up with me, she's entitled to ask the hard questions.

I think everyone here knows these wheels are the first to be released and that any more orders would be
about four weeks out. With this in mind, POWERHOUSE has a set of Apex 6 wheels in black (#19) for a
Gen 2 Busa, ready to ship out today for anybody not wanting to wait . . . after that, it will be a month before
we see more . . .
