Marchesini 5Y forged aluminum racing wheels
Product Code: Mar 5Y xxxxxx

Description
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, also available supermotards. 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 performance.

Features

 Identical in the design, but completely different in the planning stage and fittings, this wheel implies all Marchesini experience in the field of races.

 

In comparison with the previous model, the geometry of the wheel has been totally revised, improving some essential characteristics:

 

- further weight reduction, which allows an increase of the handiness of the motorcycle on bends and, obviously, a reduction on the braking spaces thanks to the gyroscopic effect reduction.

 

- it is not foreseen the use of the inner tube, which allows a further reduction on the weight compared to the mass-produced wheels.

 

- the new spoke design allows an improvement of the sturdiness and the rigidity.

In particular, comparing Marchesini wheels ( Named Kompe )  with a traditional spoke wheel, the following advantages are found:

 

  • 110% improvement on rigidity;
  • 15% weight reduction per set;
  • 15% inertia reduction per set.

The results obtained are the following:

 

  • The increased rigidity of the (whole) wheel and the reduced weight and inertia remarkably improve the motorcycle's stability under braking, on tight turns and sudden changes of direction;
  • Due to the “spoke” design, The wheel/tyre temperature reaches optimum conditions earlier ensuring the best grip in all conditions;
  • Tubeless technology and anti–puncture systems eliminate the 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).

The 5Y aluminum for street bike version is supplied with complete fittings but sprocket is unque to Marchesini fittings while the fitment of brake disc is compatible with oem. In the Supermotard version is supplied with complete fittings: spacers and disc carrier. Entirely machined from solid Ergal and anodized in black, these accessories ensure easy replacement of the Original Equipment.
