KTM Forged Alum Marchesini Supermoto Wheels - Black - Brand New

Really nice set of matte black forged alum KTM dirt bike supermoto wheels. These wheels are brand new, only taken out of the box to inspect. 90 degree valve stems are included and uninstalled. Technical info below. Asking $1500 shipped, $1400 local pickup in tri-state area.

I am not an expert but from research, with the correct spacers readily available from KTM OEM parts supply you can mount these on any KTM dirt bike from '03-'19 125cc-640cc.

Front: SM71603350 - 17x3.50 22m axle width
Rear - SM72603500 - 17x5.00 25mm axle width

 

Is the rear a cush setup or direct sprocket connection?

 

Here's what Marchesini says about that: X

X must mean cush is for pussies and not bad enough dudes to ride on these wheels that may split the hammer of Thor if rode over hard enough.

 

Bah, back to the lab for me then to do some more R&D. I'm planning on 70 to 80hp, pure road racing out of an MX motor so I'm fairly certain I'm going to want to cush that poor thing, not so much for the wheel's sake but for the motor's.

 

Honestly it surprised me that any recently made wheels intended for competition supermoto wouldn't be cush drive. I assume Marchesini knows what they are doing though, and I have seen it as a topic of debate about how much difference it makes on bikes smaller than super sports.

 

Sold sold sold!

 

Guess I can stop figuring out how to swing these then, drat.
