DelKevic wheels, heard of them?

Post by gilson »

Hi All,

I'm thinking of getting some light wheels for my track bike. Been researching and it seems that a CBRF3 front and a CBR900RR rear is the way forward.

Delkevic do a direct replacement made from aluminum. They are bound to be considerably lighter and the best part, they are about 130GBP for a front, rear similar but they don't have them listed. That's considerably cheaper than even a second hand Oz ally wheel.

Anyone heard of this company? And what do you guys think?

Cheers,
Gilly

Their well known, and well thought of, in the ZRX comunity for their radiators. Better than the standard Kawasaki items and much cheaper. Didnt know they did wheels though.

A mate on Gixerjunkies has a full titanium exhaust that he swears by, otustanding value for money and a good bhp boost too. Chearp and cheerful springs to mind, better than spending £2200 on a set or carbon BSTs 8O

Got a swift reply from them. They are not Aluminum, they are alloy and a direct replacement. None in stock and no lighter than standard anyway..... will keep a look out for some dymag! ouch...
