O•Z Forged Aluminium & Magnesium
Motorcycle Wheels
The two main qualities required for a high
performance wheel are light weight combined
with high strength and OZ achieve this by
using forged Aluminium which produces both
a stronger and up to a 33% lighter wheel
than by casting production methods, or Magnesium
which offers further weight savings.

"The machining and build quality of OZ wheels is in a class of its own. The wheels fit great, feature captive spacers, and have a flawless anodized finish.
The wheel weight difference was extremely noticeable and is felt considerably in quick transition areas. Because of the lightness of the wheels the bike was very controllable even mid turn ...it was precise and very easy to point the bike where I wanted without losing a drive on the exit of the turns."

So
why are light wheels so important?
With today’s modern Superbikes being
so powerful, improved handling is now worth
considerably more to a lap time than additional
power. A Superbike now spends as little
as 2% of its lap time on full throttle and
that is the only time that power really
affects lap times. Lightweight wheels are
a massive advantage because any loss in
unsprung and rotating weight is worth several
times its actual physical weight because
it has a massive affect on handling. By
fitting lighter wheels you will:
| • |
Reduce
Rotational Inertia which improves both
acceleration and braking |
| • |
Reduce
Gyroscopic Inertia which enables turning-in
with less effort and flick through chicanes
with more ease |
| • |
Reduce
unsprung weight which improves grip
and traction and reduces tyre wear |
| • |
All
of the the above lead to improved Handling
and Reduced Rider Fatigue - and can
save up to a second per mile on track,
when the very lightest (composite/carbon
fibre) wheels are installed |
