CB500X 'PREMIUM' SPOKED WHEEL KIT (TUBELESS EXCEL RIMS) 2022 - 2023

Both front and rear hubs are manufactured from 6082T6 billet aluminium alloy, and black anodised for a durable finish.

Gold anodised Excel Tegaso rims are Tubeless bead specific, and sealed using the BARTubeless vulcanising process, which is warrantied for 4-years from the manufacturer.

Another benefit of the Bartubeless process, is that in the event of a puncture that could not be repaired by normal tubeless repair, then the tubeless valve can be removed from the rim, then a normal inner tube fitted in order to carry on riding, until a more permanent repair can be completed.

Heavy-duty "Bulldog" stainless steel spokes have 60% greater tensile strength than typical OEM specification mild-steel spokes, and benefit from inherent corrosion resistance. 

Our spoked wheels are supplied ready to fit with new bearings and seals and accept all the OEM hardware to mount the rear sprocket cush-drive assembly, brake disc rotors and ABS sensor components. All you need is your own choice of tyres.

Our rim sizes (19" x 2.50 front and 17" x 3.50 rear) were chosen specifically to enhance the off-road performance and all-round ability of the CB500X and allow a wide range of all-terrain 50/50 style tread pattern tyres to be fitted from any number of manufacturers. 

For the CB500X used in mixed terrain on and off-road riding scenarios, we would suggest you fit a 110/80 x 19" front size and 140/80 x 17" rear size tyre - and our recommended brand/model would be the Continental TKC80 in these sizes, which over the years and during many thousands of miles of mixed terrain riding, we've found work particularly well both on and off-road on the CB500X.

Benefits of our wheel kit

• Rear hub is designed to work with the OEM cush drive and rubbers.
• Our rear hub/rim is 36 spoke pattern, much stronger and resistant to flex.
• Hubs supplied with bearings & seals.
• Both front & rear hubs designed to work with OEM discs, rear ABS ring and OEM screws.
• High-tensile "Bulldog" spokes are 33% larger cross section, and consequently 60% stronger tensile strength than the OEM plated mild steel spokes, plus they are corrosion-proof.
• Nipples are nickel-plated brass, again, corrosion-proof, maintenance free.

Both rims are high-grade aluminium alloy EXCEL TEGASO, MT-type (tubeless specific)

The rim sizes are 19"x 2.50 front and 17"x 3.50 rear, 36 spoke hole pattern.

IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO FIT THE OEM REAR TYRE 160/60-17 AS OUR REAR RIM IS SLIGHTLY NARROWER THAN OEM CAST WHEEL RIM. OUR RECOMMENDATION IS A 140/80-17 REAR TYRE, OR ALTERNATIVELY THE POPULAR 150/70-17 PROFILE SIZE - TYPICALLY AVAILABLE FROM ALL MAJOR TYRE MANUFACTURERS.

DO NOT USE ACID, OR ALKALI-BASED WHEEL CLEANERS TO REMOVE DIRT AND BRAKE DUST, AS THESE CAN CORRODE AND REMOVE THE POWDER-COATING AND TARNISH THE STAINLESS-STEEL AND NICKEL-PLATED BRASS NIPPLES. USE A PH-NEUTRAL CLEANER, OR SOAP AND WATER.
