Kineo Wire Spoked Motorcycle Wheels for Tubeless Tyres
Classic Beauty with Modern Dynamic Performance and Safety Combined
Supplied complete and ready to install, the unique and proven Kineo system - which never requires the spoke tensioning maintenance of a traditional wire wheel - enables the classic spoked look for your bike, but with all the dynamic handling and safety benefits provided by modern tubeless tyres. The rims are produced from the highest grade and strongest 7000 aluminium and are also fully TÜV approved for legal street/road use where required and still compatible with tubed-type off road tyres too.
RIMS
Produced from 7000 grade aluminium using a new and unique process, the one-piece and completely airtight Kineo rim is precisely CNC machined, carefully coated in its durable finish and then finally has its aluminium valve inserted.
11 Rim Colour Options available (all Powder Coated)
- Standard colours - Gloss Black, Matt Black, Gloss White and Matt White
- Special rim colours are also available with a supplementary charge (please see images below)
HUBS
To provide optimal distribution of the material's grain - for the maximum strength essential at the heart of the wheel - the 7000 aluminium alloy Kineo hub blank is initially forged to a shape similar to the final finished item. After precision CNC machining it is then coated with its attractive, corrosion resistant anodised finish. Bearings are protected by supplementary external oil seals and external spacers are CNC machined and coated with hard anodised finish.
5 Standard Hub colours available (all anodised)
- Gloss Black, Matt Black, Matt Silver, Shine Silver (as per rim)
- 6 Special hub colours available for a supplementary charge (please see images below)
SPOKES
The double swaged 5/4mm spokes are produced by turning from a drawn high-resistance bar and galvanised for corrosion resistance. The 28 front and 32 rear spokes are perfectly rectilinear and tensioned at the hub with a normal hexagonal Allen key/wrench. If ever required, individual spokes are easily accessible for replacement without disassembling the wheel or even removing the tyre.
Spoke Colours available
- Silver is standard colour
- Black and alternating silver and black (please see images below)
SPOKE ENDS
The light alloy spoke end design is one of the most significant innovations within the Kineo wheel. The ends are inserted externally on the rim in a transverse orientation (parallel to the wheel axis) and require no holes through the rim at all for absolutely guaranteed tyre sealing integrity.
BRAKES
The Kineo hub and bespoke brake disc carrier system (one or two for the front wheel and a single carrier for the rear) enables straightforward installation of the original stock/OE (or OE compatible aftermarket) brake discs with no modifications required and ABS sensors are also installed as originally designed. Brake disc carrier components are supplied in a black anodised finish.
For some applications, special specific bolts, nuts and washers are supplied for standard/OE braking discs installation.
CUSH DRIVE & SPROCKET CARRIER
Kineo wheels are supplied with a specific 8-pin cush drive which is completely external to the rear wheel hub. This feature is entirely independent of the wheel and has its own double-row bearing to support the radial load induced by the chain to supplement the wheel's two integral bearings. Cush drive and sprocket carrier components are supplied in a black anodised finish.
REAR SPROCKET
Produced from light but durable 7075T6 aluminium - hard anodised to 40 microns - a Kineo rear sprocket is included with your wheels (where necessary) in your bike's standard, or your choice of size.

WHEEL WEIGHTS
Although we do not designate these as "lightweight" wheels, there is ordinarily a weight saving benefit over a bike's original wheels, especially when you take into consideration the removal of the weight of inner tubes which can add up to another 2 kg per wheel.
