You can get them for every bike, even Vintage ones, on the Ride video game. I've got them on everything.
I don't know why you'd get OZ wheels when you can't get JB-(Power) Magtan wheels either. That's right, the Power is silent as noted by the parentheses.
Why not Marchesini? I've put them on every bike I've raced (with the exception of BSTs on my first 675). They have always been great and very durable, even the magnesium ones. STG can get Marchesini for you. Specify the 7-spoke "Genesi" ones (that's what i have on the R6). The 7-spoke Genesi Forged Aluminum are lighter than the 10-spoke Magnesium ones.
The craftsmanship of the current OZ wheels is better than marchesini. IMO. Side by side. The OZ just looks like it's better made, and I think it's lighter too, and def cheaper. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Question from the ignoramus.. does it (and, if yes, how) affect suspension / geometry when you go from stock wheels to lighter / aftermarket ones? (apologies for the thread jack)
When I was looking in to aftermarket wheels for my 750 a few years ago OZ wheels were the lightest amongst all and cheaper than Marchesin. Motowheels was the place I ordered from and wheels were bad a$$!
It doesn't change the geometry; they are the exact same size. They just make the bike accelerate quicker, brake sooner, change directions quicker, etc. On a 600cc machine, BST (Carbon Fiber) wheels did multiple back to back tests and with the CF wheels the bike had a 4mph higher top speed. Stock motored 600cc bikes can't reach the top of 6th gear because they are HP limited. The reduction in rolling inertia of the BST wheels allowed the bike to go 4mph faster.
many thanks for the input.. vaguely remember a video by Dave Moss (maybe?) who mentioned the need for compression/rebound damping changes when switching. (not sure). However, there haven't been any other mention. In any case, great to hear the geometry/ springs don't need changing.
