[GALESPEED Aluminum / Magnesium Forged Wheels]
The basic movements of a motorcycle, acceleration, deceleration and turning, are always affected by the unsprung weight.
Especially, the weight of the wheel,that holds the most of weight in total, has a great influence.
The GALE SPEED Wheel contributes to the reduction of the moment of inertia (the magnitude of inertia of an object rotating around an axis) by reducing the weight.
This contributes to the total improvement of motorcycle performance, not only in terms of acceleration / deceleration and turning, but also in terms of tire grip, brake effectiveness, brake pad wear, and suspension movement.
■Type-GP1S
Street model that inherits the performance of TYPE-GP1
The street model of the Gale Speed racing wheel "TYPE-GP1" that has graced many podiums in the international racing scene.
TYPE-GP1S was introduced to the market as the street model of TYPE-GP1.
Like TYPE-GP, this is a 5 spoke model designed with a one-piece structure that eliminates the attachment mechanism at the hub.
Aiming for a sense of stability under hard braking and high-speed corners, the ribs inside the spokes are curved to achieve the "suppleness" required of a wheel when radial load is applied.
In addition, the number of dampers has been reduced to three for further weight reduction.
It is named as "TYPE-GP1S" which has been redesigned to bring the lean form and high performance of TYPE-GP1 to the streets.
