weight of wheels

[john willhoite]

would anyone know how much the new dwt g3 wheels weigh?

and the hiper tech 3?

And currently it looks like the lightest tires are the razr cross

I am going to redo our 250 raptor and am on a "get everything as light as possible" kick.

Weight Comparison
Weight is important to every ATV rider. One of the main reasons for switching to a carbon fiber wheel is for this very reason. To compare weights, we decided to weigh the following wheels and tires.

Wheel Weight
Douglas.190 Front
4 lbs 2.1 oz

Burgard Bead lock Rear
6 lbs 2.7oz
HiPer CF1 Front
5 lbs 13.5 oz

HiPer Tech 3 Rear
6 lbs 11.5 oz

OMF ScallopBead Lock Front
7 lbs .4 oz

OMF Scallop Bead Lock Rear
6 lbs 1.1 oz

Kenda Klaw Tire Front
9 lbs 9.2 oz

Kenda Klaw Tire Rear
12 lbs 9.8 oz




The results are pretty interesting when you add up all the following setups of OMF Scallop Bead Locks, Burgard (rear bead lock and Douglas .190 front) and HiPer.

OMF
HiPer
Burgard
Tires 22 lbs 3 oz 22 lbs 3 oz
22 lbs 3 oz

Wheels 13 lbs 1.5 oz
12 lbs 9 oz
10 lbs 4.8 oz

Total 35 lbs 4.5 oz

34 lbs 12 oz

33 lbs 7.8 oz




When comparing the total weights, you can see that the Burgard setup is the lightest. However, this is only dealing with a single rear bead lock, so the comparison is not apples to apples. As you can see though, comparing bead lock to bead lock, the HiPer setup is lighter than the OMF setup.

basically your not going to feel the difference between wheel brands? thats what it looks like

dwt g2 wheel says:
G2
AWESOME FEATURES:
• Lighter than Original Ultimate wheels

the kenda was
12 lbs 9.8 oz

So if you could knock off 5lbs just in tires maybe a pound or 2 more with wheels, might as well.
