Carrozzeria
V Track Forged Aluminium Wheel Set
25 years of top level
motorcycle racing engineering experience lead to the development of the
Carrozzeria V-Track wheel.
Keeping the Y-Spoke Design, the updated 10 spoke V-Track wheel is an evolution
of the original 12 spoke V-Star wheel. The new V-Track is lighter than
the original but just as strong.
As of 2016 Carrozzeria
wheels are produced by Core Moto USA, further improvements have been and
will continue to be made to component designs, application fitment and
material finishes. Core Moto USA strives to make the best product possible.
Sprockets:
Bayside Performance recommends Drive Systems sprockets for all Core
Moto applications but any sprocket that has the following measurements will
work: 5 (10mm holes) with a PCD (Pitch Circle Diameter) of 100mm and a sprocket
ID of 76mm.
Performance Difference:
Decreasing unsprung weight (weight below the suspension) and rotational mass
greatly improves several responsive aspects of usable performance you can actually
feel.
Wheel Information:
CAD Designed one piece proprietary Forged monolithic hub design.
Carrozzeria wheels are true forged wheels, purpose built for performance.
Rather than using a market available generic forged blank, Carrozzeria
wheel forgings are specific to each model we offer. Although this limits
the amount of spoke designs and sizes we can offer, it nets a better quality
product overall. Each wheel starts out as an aluminum billet that does
not resemble a wheel. This Billet is then heated and placed into a 6000
ton controlled Hydraulic constant pressure forge and roll machine, This
creates the basic shape of the wheel profile. This process is highly controlled
to distribute the grain of the metal in a way that optimizes the strength
of the wheel requiring less material (weight) needed in the final product.
Constant pressure forging creates a more controlled and repeatable product
than traditional drop forging. After forging, the 90% forgings are turned
and milled by robotic loaded CNC machines to remove material and give
the wheel its final shape.

Core Moto Bearings:
Equipped with high quality smooth rolling bearings from genuine top tier bearing
manufacturers. Currently the availability of counterfeit bearings is a worldwide
epidemic. Core Moto only sources genuine brand name bearings from top tier bearing
distributors or factory direct to ensure tolerances and material compositions
meet specifications. Core Moto bearings are in most cases larger and wider than
stock for more stability. They also choose a bearing seal type that is suited
for long service life when maintained properly. Ceramic bearings are available
upon request as an upgrade. We only suggest using ceramic bearings or regularly
maintained race bikes.
Cush Drive Bushings:
New wheels made by Core Moto come with serviceable 5 or 6 pot cylindrical Cush
Drive System for High HP Applications. In 2016 Core Moto developed a new Cush
drive bushing that has proven durability. Our new bushing is now a single bonded
hardened steel and firmer compound rubber unit. If your wheels were made before
Core Moto started producing Carrozzeria wheels in 2016, improved bushings can
be ordered in our genuine replacement parts section or from your favorite Core
Moto dealer. As of 2018 we have 3 bushing sizes, depending on wheel model.
Sprocket Carrier:
New 5 bolt anodized CNC aluminum sprocket carrier for Apex-6 models are .25lbs
lighter than V-Track 6 bolt Carriers. Each comes with metal locking sprocket
nuts and an installed steel bearing retaining ring and bearing for all models.
Our sprocket studs are fully re designed, now made from 2205 Duplex stainless
steel, yielding more strength and superior corrosion resistance. The drive stud
head profile has been optimized to offer more engagement of the bushing system
for even load distribution per unit.
Spacers And Distance
Tubes:
Anodized CNC Alloy Spacers, Carriers and Distance Tubes pre installed in the
wheel. Some spacers will be shipped uninstalled for wheel packing reasons, but
will come with a diagram for easy placement. Each part is either laser or mechanically
engraved with unique part numbers to identify the placement location. Most front
wheel spacers are now fully captive on the front using oil seals and bearing
captive on the rear.
Rotor Carriers:
Rotor carriers will be pre mounted (except S1000RR for packing reasons) with
stainless steel hardware as to not interfere with modern wheel speed sensor
pickups. All rotor carriers are designed to accept OEM or aftermarket equivalent
brake rotor discs and rotor bolts. New carriers are designed to optimize weight
savings while offering a very rigid mount
Speed Sensor Rings
For ABS And TC:
Core Moto is now starting to incorporate their own speed sensor rings into the
final product, allowing the customer to keep their sensor rings on their OEM
wheels. Core Moto is the first in the industry to do this. This has not been
fully implemented for all applications as they are adding them as they make
new changes to the hardware. Some application will require reuse of both OEM
rings while some applications may come with only one Core Moto Ring front or
rear. Each application is different.
Unsprung weight:
Properly set up suspension allows the lower portions (swingarm, wheels and forks)
to move rapidly with the bumps and dips in the road or track surface while keeping
the main structure of the vehicle on a stable un interrupted path. In short
reducing unsprung weight allows the suspension to work better by reducing the
mass that needs to be controlled on compression and rebound, keeping the tire
traction on the ground and the chassis stable.
Rotational mass:
Reducing rotational mass increases acceleration, decreases braking distances
and improves handling. Lighter wheels decrease the amount of power needed to
get the tires spinning. This also reduces the amount of braking power needed
to slow down the spinning wheel down. Rapid transitions from acceleration to
deceleration benefit greatly from lighter wheels. Gyroscopic force is also reduced
with lighter wheels, improving handling by reducing the amount of force needed
to tilt the spinning wheel axis side to side. The reduction of gyroscopic and
rotational inertial forces are compounded by higher speeds.
Colors:
Anodized colors can vary from batch
to batch. Wheel sets are paired as front and rear sets in the anodize process...
Very slight shade differences from front to rear may be present, but will remain
under a 5% range. In most cases this is undetectable when the wheels are mounted
on the vehicle.
Valve Stems:
Each wheel will come with 90 degree aluminum valve stems installed.
