Comparison of an R1 with standard and Carbon wheels.
4.5kg difference for £2 grand !!!!!
It did give an improvement of 1.5 seconds in laptime, made it easier to turn and improved acceleration (centrifugal effect I suspect) and allowed later braking (less rotating mass).
You can spend £2 grand on engine mods and not get the same peformance upgrade???
3/5ths is all you need in DD racing if it puts you 1/2 a bike length in front of the other guy/girl .............
