WHEELS (Magnesium & Aluminum & Carbon Fiber)

Aftermarket Motorcycle Wheels – Magnesium, Aluminum & Carbon Fiber

Nothing transforms a motorcycle's performance — and its appearance — quite like a set of lightweight aftermarket wheels. HardRacing carries magnesium, forged aluminum, and carbon fiber motorcycle wheels for sport bikes and track machines where every gram of unsprung and rotating weight matters.

Unsprung weight (the mass your suspension must control, including wheels and tires) has a disproportionate effect on handling. Reducing it improves suspension response, allows tires to track road irregularities more accurately, and reduces the gyroscopic forces that make steering heavy. A set of lightweight wheels is one of the most rewarding chassis upgrades you can make — the difference is immediately noticeable in corner entry, mid-corner balance, and overall agility.

Wheel Types & Materials

Forged aluminum wheels offer an excellent strength-to-weight ratio and are the most popular upgrade for street and track use, typically saving 2–4 lbs per wheel over cast OEM units. Magnesium wheels go a step further — even lighter, with excellent damping properties that absorb micro-vibrations through the rim. Carbon fiber wheels represent the ultimate in weight reduction, with some sets saving 8–12 lbs over stock — a transformation in how the bike changes direction and responds to inputs.
