Haven’t commented a lot, but I always find myself coming back to your videos. I still have some of your cards and the note you sent me just about several years back. Always love your content and keep up the amazing work!
Did you take the rotors off of your stock wheels or did you buy new ones for the new wheels? Also see on forums people talking about having to buy ABS rings (I have a 2021 model). I'm just trying to figure out everything I need to get for the tubeless setup.
I’m looking to get these to replace my 2012 f800gs’, after getting a flat.. how has the performance of this been so far? I’m looking to do heavy touring
I've been looking at tubeless wheels for my AT also. The VMX wheels look nice although honestly I am a little concerned about the quality of Chinese wheels. Hopefully you can do a follow up review after beating the crap out of these wheels and putting a few thousand miles on them.
Honestly though how hard do most of us punish our wheels? Most miles are street and fire roads. With the wide spokes I bet these wheels are stronger than stock.
@@MOTOPILOT6 I hope you're right and the wheels turn out to be as good as stock, however my experience with Chinese products is that even though they look similar to Japanese or American products, the materials and design details are inferior and the products aren't as durable and don't perform as well. Wheels look like they are fairly simple to manufacture, but I'll bet a lot of engineering goes into making high quality wheels.
Going to guess they would weigh less. Alloy hubs, eliminating of the inner tubes. Keep in mind the mass furthest out from the center of rotation is the mass you want a lot less of. Reduces gyroscopic effects, shortens braking distance, improves acceleration. Overall weight of the assembled system is the weight you want to reduce for suspension (and traction) improvements. You might have additional weight with the spoke design (if there are more spokes, or the spokes are longer for the "rim" style lacing).

Bike looks sick!!!
Thanks bud. It's been a lot of work.
How are you liking the VMX wheels? Any issue keeping them true?

Do they wheels weight more, less, or about the same?
Not sure. I imagine lighter with billet aluminum hubs
@@MOTOPILOT6 do you feel a handling difference on the road or mostly the same?
@@KairyuRider pretty much the same.
