PVM 10Y
Forged Magnesium street wheels now carry a
4 year TUV approval rating.
Forged by Europe's most prestigious manufacturer of forged parts and
in compliance with the quality standards of the aerospace industry.
This is the third generation of forged wheels made by PVM following
the general trend towards FEM calculated wheels. Weight reduction
was for the first time the main goal here instead of design and
optical considerations. The engineers succeeded in achieving a
further weight reduction of up to 20% whilst improving the stability
of the wheel at the same time. A forged aluminum front wheel sized
at 3.5 x 17'' e.g. for a Ducati 998R now weighs only 7.5lb
completely ready for fitting. The weight optimization is even more
striking for the back wheels: In this case for example the 6 x 17''
wheel of a Yamaha R1 was reduced to slightly more than 11.5lb.
Average weight -
"10Y" spoke Forged Aluminum
Front - 3.5" x 17" = 8.5lb
Rear - crush drive w/sprocket carrier
- 6.0"
x 17" = 13.5lb
