    Are the wheels not heavier than the previous model?
    I'm sure I read this in the MCN. I must say though they certainly don't look heavier.
    N by god they are gorgeous.

    Tip, dont beleive a word in MCN. The wheels were designed with superstock racing in mind....hence lighter.

    Wheels are considerably lighter, that comes from a man who has measured both sets....

    Trust me I didnt believe it when a read it.

    There is no way a forging is going to be heavier than a cast, or else there wouldnt be any point in the extra cost. You only have to look at them to see that they are going to be much lighter.

    I'd love a set, it was the first thing I seen on the new blade that made me say whooaaa!!!

    Im tempted to wait till a full bitubo front cartridge kit is available for the 12 model then transplant a complete front end from one onto my rr7, with an RR7 Bitubo shock also..
