DYMAG CA5 Carbon fiber wheels Yamaha R1 2004-2014

Rebuilt for a new era. The all-new CA5 Evo isn’t a simple reissue — it’s a complete ground-up redesign using DYMAG’s newest carbon technology. New manufacturing processes and tooling Redesigned construction for greater stiffness Updated materials and layup for improved impact resistance Available at launch for double-sided swingarm setups; single-sided swingarm wheels coming soon after Materials and Manufacturing Process: Carbon composite epoxy construction using a multi-axial structural lay-up. Manufactured using a Resin Transfer Moulding (RTM) process with either a 6K plain weave or 3K 4/4 weave surface finish. Wheel Sizes (Diameter x Width): Front: 17 x 3.5. Rear: 17 x 5.5, 17 x 6.0 Wheel Weight: Front: 2.5 – 2.7 kg finished weight (depending on application). Rear: 4.6 – 4.8 kg finished weight (depending on application). Weight Savings vs OEM Wheels: Front: typically 23% lighter than forged aluminium, 30% lighter than cast aluminium. Rear: typically 23% lighter than forged aluminium, 45% lighter than cast aluminium. Moment of Inertia Reduction: Front: typically 26% lower than forged aluminium, 34% lower than cast aluminium. Rear: typically 26% lower than forged aluminium, 51% lower than cast aluminium. Load Ratings: Front: 17 x 3.5 – 236 kg (≈ 520.3 lb) Rear: 17 x 5.5 – 365 kg (≈ 804.7 lb) Rear: 17 x 6.0 – 387 kg (≈ 852.2 lb) Compatible with approximately 70% of the current DYMAG® catalogue. Contact us to confirm compatibility with your make/model. Certification: JASO T203-85 certified. (TÜV certification is in process) Intended Use: Road, track and race applications. Do Carbon Wheels Shatter? In a word, no. Carbon wheels have safe and predictable failure modes meaning that they will not shatter because of the interrelationship between the carbon weave and the resin bond materials How Much Lighter Are Carbon Wheels? Carbon motorcycle wheels are around 30% lighter than oem wheels Will I Feel The Difference? Lightweight wheels are the one modification that immediately feels different to the rider. Faster acceleration, sharper braking, improved ride and superior handling are a given, but feedback from many customers is that the “turn-in” or “flickability” when entering corners is also significantly sharpened, with markedly enhanced feel through the handlebars. Are Carbon Wheels Strong? Yes, very strong. This is due to the high tensile strength and stiffness of the carbon fibres. Add to that, the numerous ways in which the carbon fibres can be weaved and positioned means that further strength and stiffness is ‘engineered in’. What Are The Benefits of Carbon Wheels? There are many benefits of carbon wheels beyond the 30% reduction in overall weight. You will gain faster acceleration, sharper braking and better handling alongside better durability in varying environments and also increased safety.
