Octopus alloy wheel by F.A Italia MATT BLACK

Solid aluminium rim from FA.Italia. This rim allows the mounting of tubeless tyres, which are common in the motorcycle sector. It replaces the standard rim without any further modification. The advantages are: 40% weight saving safety plus through double-hump Better responsiveness of the chassis Good concentricity Easy assembly Appealing appearance WEIGHT REDUCTION The weight saving compared to an original steel rim is 600 grams. In addition, there is a weight saving of approx. 370 grams due to the no longer required tube. The unsprung masses are thus reduced by almost one kilogram per axle (over 64%). The response behaviour of the chassis improves noticeably. SAFETY Due to a double so-called "hump" in the rim bed, the tyre is always guided safely in the rim. Similar to the latest runflat technology in the automotive sector, if a foreign object (nail or similar) is driven into the rim, the air can escape slowly without the tyre slipping into the rim well. The vehicle comes to a controlled stop. The rim has recesses between the screw-on points. The cooling of the brake is improved. SPECIALITIES The eightfold bolted rim fits perfectly to the Casa Performance Multispline brake drum. With its eight bolting points, it offers twice as many bolts as standard. Can also be used on any series drum with four stud bolts without modification. Please use the enclosed longer brake drum studs. The delivery includes four closed high cap nuts (chrome-plated, SW12) and a screwed-in metal valve (M8x1.25mm). Only for tubeless (TL) tyres. Do not mount tubetype (TT) tyres. The rim does not have an approval mark and is not road legal. NOTE: All 10 inch tubeless rims for Vespa and Lambretta do not comply with the ERTRO standard. The diameter in the centre of the rim is a little too large due to the design, the tyre may not sit sufficiently far into the rim well when fitted. Mounting by hand (with mounting levers) is very time-consuming, as the tyre bead is under a lot of tension. Tyre fitting should therefore only be carried out by a specialist with appropriate equipment (tyre fitting machine).Courtesy of Scooter Center
