 5 min read

High level fusion of functionality and impressive design

GALE SPEED's TYPE-J wheels are targeted at big naked and tourer models such as the Z900RS, CB1300SF, XJR1300, and Hayabusa. The cross-spoke design gives them a classic cast wheel type look, while contrast cuts on the spoke surface emphasize the edges, creating a modern quality that only forged wheels can offer. Of course, since they are packed full of the latest technology, the balance of light weight and rigidity will most certainly allow the rider to experience excellent handling. In addition to the standard black, 14 other colors are also available. GALE SPEED offers a wide variety of wheels, including the orthodox TYPE-E design and the overwhelmingly light Type SB1. If you're thinking about changing your wheels, you should deifintely check them out!

Aluminum Forged Wheel TYPE-J

The TYPE-J Forged Aluminum Wheels were displayed on a fully customized Z900RS that was exhibited by ACTIVE at the 2023 Tokyo Motorcycle Show. They were the talk of the town at the time and now these wheels are finally being shipped. They are a must-see for that customizer who's always looking to be different from the rest of the crowd.

■Although the design looks very solid, each part has been thoroughly machined, and the weight is lighter than it appears. For example, for the Z900RS, the rear wheel is 2kg lighter than stock.

■In addition to the standard black color, 14 other colors are available, so you can choose the one that best suits your style. The surface is anodized with a satin finish.

■Contrast cuts are applied to the surface of the spokes for emphasis. The design of the spokes, including the chamfering of the inner surfaces, is quite intricate.

■The wheels will come with attachments specific to the bike model. They are mainly compatible with big naked and tourer models. The attachments can be black anodized.
