The "TYPE-E" is a forged wheel specialized for street use. Unlike our previous race/street combined models, it adopts a design philosophy that emphasizes comfort and durability for daily riding. This concept targets riders seeking confident handling and ease of use.
Its biggest feature is the large-capacity hollow hub and 8 spokes with a large offset from the center. This structure allows spokes to be shorter (thus stronger) due to the large hub, and the large offset makes it resistant to torque stress, greatly reducing the risk of spoke damage in case of strong external force.
Additionally, the rim center's well area is enlarged, achieving approximately 20% more air volume (compared to our previous models). This improves the air cushion effect, enhancing shock absorption from the road surface. It also reduces stress on the rim and helps maintain stable air pressure over time.
Furthermore, the well area is designed to make bead dropping easier during tire mounting and removal, improving maintenance convenience. Such ease of serviceability is another major advantage for street use.
The "TYPE-E" offers versatility and uniqueness suitable for naked, touring, sport, and various other categories, providing many riders with a new choice.
