Excel Automotive Takasago Motorcycle Rim Wheel

The Excel Takasago motorcycle rim (also called a Takasago wheel rim) is a lightweight aluminum alloy rim built for off-road and motocross racing. It is also used for supermoto and general dirt bike riding. Excel has made wheels and rims for two-wheeled vehicles since 1945. Takasago rims are known in off-road racing for their strength and durability.

Key Features:

• 7000 series aluminum alloy: Excel says this alloy has about 50% higher yield strength than the 6 series aluminum used in competing rims.
• Multi-step forming and extrusion: The rim is made with a complex multi-step forming extrusion process.
• Robotic welding: Robotic welding gives consistent, strong joints.
• Hard anodized finish: The finish helps the rim resist wear and corrosion in harsh conditions.
• Race-ready design: The rim is engineered for extreme environments where lesser rims routinely fail.

The Takasago line is a good choice for riders replacing a bent or damaged rim, rebuilding a wheel with new spokes and hub, or upgrading to a stronger aftermarket rim. Each rim is sold as an individual item and is built to hold up to the demands of racing and trail use.
