Is there anything better than cruising through the city streets on your sleek electric motorcycle? We don’t think so. The wind rushes past, and you feel the thrill of the ride. But what makes this ride not just exhilarating but also safe and smooth? The answer lies in the wheels beneath you.

With the rising popularity of electric motorcycles, selecting the right supermoto wheels has never been more crucial. In this guide, we'll take you through everything you need to know to make an informed choice.

Understanding Supermoto Wheels

What Are Supermoto Wheels?

These kinds of wheels are specifically designed for supermoto motorcycles, which combine the best of both off-road and street riding. These wheels feature characteristics that cater to high-speed cornering and excellent grip on asphalt.

Unlike standard motorcycle wheels, these wheels are engineered to provide optimal performance on a variety of surfaces, offering riders a versatile and thrilling experience.

Key Differences Between Supermoto Wheels and Other Motorcycle Wheels

The primary differences between supermoto wheels and other motorcycle wheels lie in their size, design, and intended use. These wheels are typically smaller in diameter compared to off-road wheels but are wider to accommodate street tires. This combination enhances stability, traction, and control on paved roads.

Benefits of Using Supermoto Wheels on Electric Motorcycles

Integrating these special wheels into your electric motorcycle setup brings several advantages:

• Enhanced Handling: Experience superior control and precision, especially during cornering.
• Improved Traction: The wider tires offer better grip, ensuring safety and performance.
• Versatility: Whether you're riding on city streets or taking a detour through a dirt path, these wheels adapt seamlessly.

Factors to Consider When Choosing Supermoto Wheels

Size

Supermoto wheels typically come in a 17-inch diameter for both front and rear wheels. However, some riders opt for 16-inch rear wheels to improve acceleration and handling.

Switching to a 16/19” wheel setup can significantly alter your bike’s performance. A smaller rear wheel (16”) makes the bike more nimble, while a larger front wheel (19”) improves stability over rough terrain.

Weight

Wheel weight significantly impacts your motorcycle's overall performance. Lighter wheels allow for quicker acceleration and improved fuel efficiency.

• Impact on Performance: Heavier wheels can drag down your bike's performance, while lighter wheels enhance acceleration and braking.
• Comparison: Lightweight wheels are often made from materials like aluminum or carbon fiber, whereas heavier wheels can be made from steel or heavier alloys.

Material

When selecting the right supermoto wheels, understanding the material is crucial for determining performance, durability, and cost. Here's a breakdown of the materials we offer and their benefits:

Aluminum: All our supermoto wheels are made from high-quality aluminum, known for its affordability and durability. This makes aluminum wheels a popular choice among riders for their reliable performance and cost-effectiveness.

Titanium Spokes: Our titanium spokes offer a significant upgrade over standard stainless steel spokes. Here are some of its key benefits:

• Lightweight: Titanium is much lighter than stainless steel, reducing the overall weight of the wheels. This translates to improved handling and acceleration, making your supermoto more agile.
• Strength: Despite being lighter, titanium is incredibly strong. It offers superior tensile strength, which enhances the durability and longevity of your wheels, especially under demanding riding conditions.

Performance Considerations

The tires you choose for your supermoto wheels are crucial for maintaining traction and grip on different surfaces. Supermoto tires usually have a more aggressive tread pattern than standard street tires, which provides better experience on both dirt and pavement.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Avoid these pitfalls when selecting wheels for your electric motorcycle:

• Ignoring Wheel Size: Ensure the size fits your bike's specifications for optimal performance.
• Overlooking Weight: Remember, lighter is often better for performance but check for durability.
• Skipping Material Research: Choose a material that balances weight, durability, and cost.
