MARCHESINI Forged Magnesium Wheelset: Bimota DB 5 / DB 6

The leader in high performance street bike wheels. Reducing huge amounts of weight when compared to stock wheels, these multi directional forged wheels are unique in manufacture and offer a perfect compromise between weight reduction, performance and lifetime of the wheel. This forging process ensures these wheels are the strongest in the aftermarket due to its high density molecular structure. Experience in the original equipment supply gives Marchesini the edge it designing wheels that last.


The result is a wheel that weighs 45% less than the original set and with a 30% inertia reduction. These characteristics provide faster accelerations, improved handling on bends, and improved control due to improved gyroscopic effect. A mounted set of magnesium wheels weighs about 7.5 kilograms and is completely interchangeable with the original set, except for the sprocket that needs to be replaced with a model that complies with Marchesini standard (available from most sprocket manufacturers).
