In the past, there were choices like DYMAG, PVM, GALE SPEED, etc., but now CustomWheel is practically the only choice, and although it is very expensive as parts, I decided to buy Front18-inches before it was discontinued and I regret it.
The first thing that surprised me was how light it was when I held it. I was worried about how it could support the weight of the machine, but the machining accuracy of each part is great and satisfies my desire to own it. In addition, with the fact that the Center of the Rear comes out, there is no sense of discomfort in the appearance.
Tire is Michelin as recommended by the manufacturer and I felt its lightness as soon as I installed it. The push/pull of the bike is just like handling another motorcycle, which is why it's worth the change. It is also very light when riding, just like handling a middle class motorcycle. The weight reduction under the spring of a heavy vehicle is a real plus.

It is the top of the run supported by technology
First of all, we focused on the requirements of F-1 (FORMULA 750S-ONE) while we have been studying about motorcycle wheels in depth for the first time..
Full spec wheels have been completed with the wisdom of All Japan!.
The thing we were particularly particular about was the 8000t press, one of the best FOR JAPAN MODEL.
Of course, it is possible to commercialize the product with 6,000 tons, but there is no point in EXACT unless it is an 8,000-ton press..
Aluminum and Magnesium are pressed at 8000t to tighten the density of the components and become rigid, which dramatically changes the microstructure and produces toughness and suppleness..
Enlarging the cross section of material in the micro world reveals the state of the tissue.
Unpressed Material at 8,000t, the tissue is tied together in a point shape.
This kind of condition will cause it to crack on a large impact and it will be physically inferior to the one shown in the elongation, although it is hard..
Motorcycle is a two-wheeled bike, not a four-wheeled bike..
Of course, this could result in a Crack or, worse, a fall!.
That's why at Advantage we're sticking with the 8000tPRESS!.
Pressed at 8,000 tons, the structure of the Material changes from point to line and is tied together.
This condition is called Fiber flow effect (forged lines)..
It is very important not to scrape them out as long as they are.
Todohyo Line produces flexibility and transforms the hardness into strength (strength) LargeThey absorb the shock and make it hard to break.
In order to enjoy these Merit, more than 8,000tPRESS+ cleavage spinning machines are needed..
Forging has been used in the past for the Japanese KATANA and in recent years for important components in the aircraft industry, but the most important thing for ADVANTAGE is to change the material into a forging structure that is stretchy (physical strength) like a rice cake to produce lightweight, dense, and strong wheels. We are trying to change the material to a forging structure that is stretchy (physical strength) like a rice cake to produce lightweight, dense, and strong wheels..
ADVANTAGE EXACT advocates full spec wheels because it is the best way to ignore various costs.
Forging (called Hot Punch). ) Hot forging and hot cleavage spinning are the processes of conventional forged wheels that are completed by painting after forging, but EXACT is not the finished product..
) In a process called hot forging + hot splitting spinning, conventional forging wheels are completed by painting after forging but are not finished products in EXACT.
I can't think of anything else that works so well as to say that the technique that gives you the most benefit from the forging is pinging..
There is no other thing effective enough to say that the technology that makes the best use of forging effects can be said to be a spin.
It stretches the thing that was hit by forging.
It is named after the fact that the disk-shaped material, which is pressed at 8000t, is split open from the side to form a rim..
This technology is an excellent answer to the difficult problem of how to form strong rims while reducing weight..
In contrast to the method of stretching the rim by spinning, split and open forging is used to stretch the open part..
In contrast to the law that extends the rim by spinning, the split forging tears and folds out the open part.
As a result, the density of components in the rim area becomes tighter, and as a result, the stiffness is increased compared to spinning alone..
This is one of the noteworthy merits of the cleavage forging.
This is one of the noteworthy merits in talking about rupture forging.
Heat is needed to process the material, but if the temperature becomes too hot, the material may become too soft and deformed after processing..
It requires heat to process the material, but it gets too soft if it gets hotter than necessary, and it may deform after processing.
Spinning is similar to the process of spinning wheel in pottery..
Since it is formed by the Large Kinnaird Rollers while being pressed down, the pressure increases the rigidity of the material, but even more noteworthy phenomena occur in split forging..
When spinning, in the micro world, there are clean lines extending inside.
This line is called Fiber Flow. After 8,000tPRESS and cleavage, the structure of the material is very linear and tight, which makes the forging line more beautiful and elongated, and brings out the rigidity of the Rim..
In Japan, iron is forged and forged by Katana artisans using a technique called "forging" since ancient times to produce Japanese Katana.
The quenching process in Katana Takumi (Katana Blacksmith) is the process of quenching temperature of EXACT Aluminum Forging Wheel is about 520 degrees..
In order for a sword to be born, a number of trials of harshness, the quenching process referred to in sword maker (sword-wielding) is quenching temperature about 520 degrees in case of EXACT aluminum forged wheel. (Magnesium is not materially done.) KATANA is forged by a KATANA master and the steel is heated until it turns crimson, and immediately afterwards it is cooled by water at once in the so-called quenching process, and the aluminum forging of EXACT is not an exception..
This kind of heat treatment can stabilize the material, and at the same time, can greatly increase the rigidity of the material..
This training that many famous KATANA's must have undergone while being trained by KATANA's masters is also given to ADVANTAGE's EXACT!.
It is also given to EXACT of Advantage Company that this discipline that many numerous swords would have received while being exercised by the sword maker.
This is for the purpose of further spinning and perfecting the precision of the forme..
Just like the famous Katana was made by Katana's master and no effort was spared, ADVANTAGEEXACT has also been given the maximum amount of work, it is still responding to the ever-changing situation and scene in Circuit now..
ADVANTAGE EXACT has also been given maximum effort as if a sword hangs on the hand of the sword smith and was once being spared no trouble.
This is now corresponding to circumstances and machines that are constantly changing at the circuit site.
As I mentioned above, we have been repeatedly refining our technology and developing and feeding back to four-wheeled vehicles, which are completely different from two-wheeled vehicles..
A wheel that doesn't break and is more secure is what we want most, and that's what we do all the way through the design process at Advantage..
A noteworthy item is that on two-wheeled vehicles, the parts that naturally comprise them are.
With a total package of disc rotors, brake calipers, front fork, etc., it has been exclusively designed with Advantage to make the most of these features..
The most important point of the Advantage is that it can be designed and confirmed in a "millennium"..
Also Rim's Tire mounting R consists of its own ideal arcing product.
Also, ADVANTAGE is focusing on the air cushion between Rim and Tire..
It also means that the attachment R of the tire of the rim is a product that draws its own ideal arc.
As the temperature rises, the thermal expansion of the air can have a large effect on the Grip of the Tire and can cause abnormal wear of the Tire..
It is in this shape to find the ideal space by finding the expansion rate and volume of air.
Lightness is not the trend of Advantage over Wheel these days.
If you have a 0Kg Wheel, if you only need a light Wheel, then the Handling will be unstable and nervous Motorcycle will be installed..
Do you know what a global positioning is?.
If it is good only with a lightweight wheel 0 Kg of wheels If it is provisionally installed, handling becomes unstable and it becomes a nervous bike surely.
The emphasis is on the balance of the rotation and the flexibility and rigidity of the Wheel..
How to provide information to the Rider through the rotational motion.
In order to provide better information to the rider during the continuous running, turning and stopping, the flexure of the rim and the wheel itself is very important..
It is exactly the Wheel that is ripe for the Rider and Smooth to interact with..
A noteworthy feature of the design is its unique stoicism.
Shaped design without any flab..
For use in racing machines, STREET also focuses on absolute safety.
Which do you recommend, Aluminum or Magnesium forged wheels?
We often get questions like this, but of course Magnesium is more expensive.
However, the Magnesium is also lighter, but with better shock absorption and better ride quality..
Aluminum has more strength, but this may cause customers' anxiety because it accelerates the destruction or weathering of the old cast magnesium images..
The durability of today's ADVANTAGE EXACT fully forged MagnesiumWheel can no longer be compared to the Magnesium products of the past!.
Aluminum has physical strength (strength), but because the talk is made by accelerating things like weathering that the image of cast magnesium before a while is broken or so, it will ruin your anxiety.
The advantage of ADVANTAGE is especially in the front and rear hub and the rim..
The hub part is forged in the center of the hub part (like the same part of the drum) to increase the strength of the hub..
We have also received a number of inquiries about maintenance parts for the hub damper rubber.
The Advantage's hub Damper rubber uses the SHOWA/KYB proven hub Damper rubber. It's only for one unit..
Damper rubber is living proof of material and design with little wear and tear!.
It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for. How many of you have replaced your end-eye rubbers?.
Recently, some people in the race industry have said that only fan shaped damper rubber can catch the power..
In the past endurance races it has been possible to use 6 pieces of Damper rubber, but it does not wear out significantly, so Quantity:5pcs. We are shifting the design to.
Recently there are some race officials who are said to be unable to stop receiving power unless they are fan fangs, but we adopt a damper rubber with outer diameter Φ36, because the fan-shaped damper rubber increases backlash did.
Sprocket uses XAM JAPAN's Special Knife for EXACT.
The JSB1000 Class is also supporting the MASCENE in the Suzuka 8-hour endurance race in the 525/520 size..
Wheel maintenance (especially Magnesium)
The Magnesium is easy to oxidize without coating, so there was a time when it was said to be hard to maintain when it was first introduced..
If the paint peels or rubs off and you can see the ground surface, you can touch up immediately and keep it clean and painless..
Regarding the maintenance of the wheel (especially magnesium), the characteristic of magnesium itself is not easy to oxidize in coating without painting etc.
Originally, we apply Chromate treatment, which has a high degree of corrosion protection, as a primer before painting..
Chromate is also known as "chromate treatment" or "chromate film treatment".. Chromate is a chemical coating designed to provide a base for the corrosion resistance and coating of aluminum alloy and magnesium..
MaterialGold is immersed in a solution containing hexavalent chromium to passivate, which results in a self-healing film and chemical polishing action at the same time..
Currently, hexavalent Chrome has been regulated and replaced by trivalent Chrome due to environmental damage..
Immediately after the treatment, the surface of the gold metal becomes gelatinous, but after drying at about 60°C, it changes to a corrosion-resistant, self-healing film and enters the final coat..
