    Do not spent money on rims. Upgrade suspension and put Michelin Power 5 tires. Results are great

    Gee, the 1200's wheels already look great, I would spend the money on suspension and tires too, probably cheaper in fact than carbon wheels.

    Its a weight what I'm interested, lowering the unsprung mass. And yea... I know, original looks great, but ...

    HPS Sell Carbon fibre wheels, here is some information from their website in the UK..

    Key Benefits:

    • Strongest, Lightest & Most Durable Wheels available
    • Massive Performance & Handling Benefits
    • Typically Save between 2 to 6 Seconds on an average length lap
    • Gain Grip, Tyre Life, Acceleration and Improved Braking Performance
    • Your Bike will handle more easily with much faster turning into corners
    • Absolutely no suspension modifications or adjustments whatsoever required
    • By far the cheapest performance upgrade in pounds spent per performance gain
    • And, they look absolutely fantastic too!
    • Now also available in a Satin Matt finish and a choice of Candy Coloured finishes
    BUT THEY ARE £3000 GBP. Upgrade suspension first, then decide if its worth the extra ?

    In spring, I put on Dunlop Mutant´s and this "sharper shape" tire already helped the handling a lot + a bit better weight suited front springs, and now the bike is more responsive, that "flying hammer" feel is gone. But I still think about carbon wheels, and how do they could improve handling even more, on same conditions.
