Standard 996R wheels - lighter than normal Marchesinis? Are the standard fitment Marchesinins on a 996R (probably the same as a 998R) lighter than the standard 5 spoke marches fitted to all late Ducatis? I see that they're claimed as lightweight, but are they lighter? Will these be the same weight as the ones fitted to a late SPS? Otherwise its trade in some R6 wheels for some magnesium marchesinis or maybe 10 spokes!!! Ta Tim |
996R wheels. Ive had a quick scroll through the parts catalogues and the part no.s are all the same for 996,996R and 998S. I guess they're all the same then!:) |
They are defiantely the same.They are brembo made marchis.I sold mine for some Mags. |
2002 748r and 998r marchi's are lighter: "Lighter Marchesini wheels (400 g less on front wheel and 800 g less on rear) reduce unsprung weight to improve steering and handling responses." [Edited on 27-9-2003 by chillo] |
Yeh, but lighter than what???? |
lighter than the 5 spokes you get on 996r/998s etc. i weighed them!!:frog: ps the quote was from the tech features from ducati website for the 998r [Edited on 29-9-2003 by chillo] |
