| "Pushing the bike is already easier thanks to the ceramic bearings but this is far from preparing you to the dramatic change in handling… This is just another bike!
At 63kg, lets say 70 with full gear and wet, it used to be quite a challenge to change the bike angle once a turn is initiated, especially with the precision required. Not only is this now possible, but it requires so little strength!
Cleaner trajectories can be achieved with much less experience of the road. Another benefit, is the improved acceleration and braking. Not as significant as in the handling department but impressive for a bike with already first class acceleration.
PS: no full scale, reflex shot pictures yet because of the poor weather here. But they are still gorgeous ;-) "

Choose from a range of optional coloured finishes at HPS...
Please note the intensity of the colours varies significantly with lighting conditions and the colour only becomes apparent in brighter light.
Please also note that, as has been widely performed on the VMX1700 (and as with all 240 section rear tyre installations) the plastic inspection cover requires removal and the access aperture to be covered with industrial tape.
Please contact us if you require any further information or explanation about the wheels.
