Champions Choice

 

 ADVERTISEMENT FEATURE 

Off-road racing created the need for lightweight spoked wheels that were strong enough to stand the test of competition. To meet these demands, lightweight aluminium alloy rims were developed that combined great strength with reduced un-sprung weight – improving both suspension response and braking performance.

Larsson supply a wide range of Takasago Excel and DID alloy rims, which offer superior Japanese build quality and durability. Both Excel and DID products are specified as original equipment on many of the world’s most famous motorcycle brands and are proved through years of experience in the highest levels of motocross.

 


 
DID DirtStar Original rims are made from a 7-series aluminium alloy, making them 20% stronger than OE rims. DirtStar rims are a great upgrade for hard off-road riding and are compatible with OE hubs, spokes, and nipples, making for simple fitting.
DID Dirstar Rims are available for many bikes including:

  • KTM EXC 300 TPI 2018
