Thumbs up from webBikeWorld

webBikeWorld has a first person review of our wheels and compliments how easy they were to swap out with stock wheels on his Ducati (providing some helpful tips along the way). Reviewer David Young goes on to say,

The bike felt significantly lighter in motion with much less effort in turning and no apparent change in mid-corner stability. While I don't know if it was the wheels or just getting more comfortable on the track, I began experiencing wheel spin on turn exits from the rear tires. While this was a bit unsettling the first few times it occurred, it was very controllable and provided little actual drama. My lap times have dropped noticeably since the wheels were installed no doubt assisted by the move to softer compound tires.

In conclusion, I am very happy with the results of the wheel swap. While the performance gains were enough to justify the change alone, the positive comments I get from people who see the wheels makes the efforts all the more enjoyable. I wholeheartedly recommend the update to lightweight aftermarket wheels whether your preference is to improve performance, appearance or a combination of both.
