RSV4 | Core Moto Apex 6 Forged Wheels | Install

[@ALFAVITAGA]

DISCLAIMER: Core Moto rear wheel, weighs 5.05lbs less than stock wheel. Core Moto front wheel, weighs 1.75lbs less than stock wheel. The reason my front wheel weighs the same and my rear wheel weighs only 2.43lbs less, is because the weight comparison was not performed with equal components. Heavier front brake rotors, heavier brand new tires compared to worn out tires, lighter sprocket was installed on stock wheel instead of stock sprocket. The weight comparison was to determine the current weight difference of my current setup, not the Core Moto wheel weight.

[@bao_motor]

Why you choose this instead of marchesini wheel?

[@ALFAVITAGA]

@@bao_motor I like how Core Moto wheels look with its design and satin black color. They are light and at a good price compared to Marchesini forged magnesium wheels. You can’t go wrong with either.

[@ayowser01]

​@bao_motor aside from the points already mentioned, core moto is made in the USA and claim to have the lightest dot forged aluminum wheel on the market; wheels can also be converted for other bike fitments.

[@CMX70]

I wish i could give you more than one thumbs up. Always learn something watching your videos.

[@ALFAVITAGA]

@@CMX70 I appreciate that! Thank you! ✌️

[@ImNoTourist]

After spending all that money to save like 1kg... Thats like the difference of riding before lunch or after lunch haha. I would be crying. Its basically a purely cosmetic upgrade. I really hope it was all sponsored gear, if it isnt then Im gonna give your video a thumbs up to try help you pay for this upgrade! 😂 All jokes aside, your bike looks incredible!

[@ALFAVITAGA]

@@ImNoTourist It’s not sponsored so I’m going to need a lot of those thumbs up lol 😂 On that note, 1kg of rotational mass is not the same as 1kg of mass, so for someone on the track that kilo kai mean the difference between loss or win. But for the street I don’t think it will matter much. I guess I’ll find out on the ride review.

[@ImNoTourist]

@@ALFAVITAGA I look forward to the video of you testing it. I dont do track stuff to be honest, I find its the same as riding on the road except you constantly have like 10 cops watching you all the time so you cant really have fun. I like to have my fun on the road because there is nobody watching me unless Im VERY unlucky and Im willing to take that risk 😂 The track as probably more rules like you cant do this and that and you must do it this way and at that speed... naaaaa not for me. I ride my own ride if you see what I mean :)

[@ALFAVITAGA]

@@ImNoTourist I feel that you may have ridden in a very restrictive track. I have heard crazy stories about certain tracks and based on that it would have been a no for me too. But the tracks in my area are not restrictive at all. If anything, when I first did my first track I lost interest in riding the street completely. You can push limits on track that you can’t push on the street. If you push those track limits, then street feels meaningless. Plus one mistake on the street and its gave over. A mistake on the track could be a mistake you can afford to make. But track is expensive and very time consuming. So not an easy task. But I’ll see how these wheels feel on the street ✌️

[@kakappawpmaiangche7090]

Decrease the weight of 1kg on the body is not much difference but on the wheels makes alot difference and performance

[@ayowser01]

There's the added benefit of it being a stronger wheel. I bent my front wheel on a pothole. It cost me $650 to fix it (powder coat and new bearings included). I pray these wheels are impervious to SoCA potholes.

@@akersquarteracre8002 Thank you! Ride review coming up ✌️

[@ReshardsAutomotiveWorkshop]

Those wheels do look better than the factory forged wheels.

[@ALFAVITAGA]

@@ReshardsAutomotiveWorkshop 💯 better looking than factory forged and lighter weight. Price is a bit higher but considering that you get an upgraded sprocket carrier with Core Moto the price evens out. An upgraded Aprilia sprocket carrier alone is around $300. So totally worth it compared to factory wheels. ✌️

[@660xV7]

Looks beautiful. Hoping that you feel it’s worth the cost after the test ride. 🤞🏼 Thanks for the tip on pushing down the triple before fully securing the front wheel. That’s a good one. 👌🏼

Bike looks 🔥 now brother. Those little subtle details like gold accents etc are really what defines our own taste and look of a bike. Be interesting to see if they make a difference but 2kg rotational at the back and overall 2kg saving is quite a bit.

Awesome wheels. Next project Brembo GP4-Motogp.

[@ALFAVITAGA]

@@99Apit That would look awesome, but a bit of a redundant upgrade compared to the stock Brembo calipers. ✌️

[@farschadabolfathi]

Great video ! Those front after market rotors are most likely thicker then the stock ones which give better braking but a tad bit heavier .. for say stock 5mm and these 5.5 or 5.5 to 6mm and to why don't see a weight difference ... do that same way of centering forks and pads on front wheel instal 😎 Just wondering to why you want to make gearing longer with -1 on the rear sprocket , you need more top speed possibly

[@ALFAVITAGA]

@@farschadabolfathi Thicker rotors plus some extra grams from the new rubber, added some weight. I actually did not make the gearing longer from stock gearing. Stock gearing is 41T and I was at 43T. I lowered one at 42T to try it out as 43T had a bit too much front lift. I loved the agility of the shorter wheelbase the 43T gave, but I’m hoping the forged wheels will compensate for the bit longer 42T wheelbase. I’ll try it out and give a feedback on the ride review. ✌️

[@farschadabolfathi]

Ok just watched your previous video and see you wanting to lengthen the wheel base to have a bit more slack in the chain for the lightech chain adjusters ..

[@ALFAVITAGA]

@@farschadabolfathi I didn’t really make it longer for the chain adjusters. If you watch the 520 Chain & Sprocket ride review, I mention that the 43T felt amazing on turns due to shorter wheelbase but it was a bit too much on the straights. So I’m curious to ride it now and see.

[@1000CC_Mandra]

5K Ouch that hurt the bank, I did the same to my TuonoV4 for 2500 euro, I Got Gold Aprilia Forged Wheel, including the Brembo Sport Discs Chain and Spocket, I kept original the Hub.

💯👌✌️🔥

[@kareldegreef3945]

Your Back wheel could be an extra 400 grams lighter because those were used tires => less rubber ! they were not completly wasted but i know you can get easilly 600 grams of rubber of your wheels when they are ready to be changed => i put my own wheels on the scale a few years ago because i was curious 😁😁😁

[@ALFAVITAGA]

@@kareldegreef3945 Thanks for confirming this. I was thinking the same. I was guessing around 400-500 grams of rubber. Good to know you tried it. I guess our OCD matches lol. ✌️

[@ALFAVITAGA]

@@Benjay1975 Colored wheels look amazing but they are a pain to maintain clean. I’m not a fan of cleaning so I stick to satin black ✌️

[@leventeyuboglu4501]

considering the lighter brake disc and sprocket that on the forged one, those cast wheels are not heavy at all.

[@ALFAVITAGA]

@@leventeyuboglu4501 I agree. Looks aside, if performance is all you are looking for, there is not much of a difference to stock cast wheels for street riding.

Why you not use a paper when screwing the bolts for reducing scratch?

@@tradingviewauthorizedpartner I don’t have the patience to add protection while screwing nuts and bolts. If they get scratched and I don’t like it, I’ll just replace them. Plus they are titanium anodized. They hold pretty good on scratches. ✌️

[@GenghisKhan311]

My rear core moto wheel doesn't fit. The rotor carrier is off by 3mm causing the rotor to hit the caliper on the inside. Core moto was supposed to send me some washers to put behind the carrier but they never did. 😢

[@ALFAVITAGA]

@@GenghisKhan311 That is very odd. 3mm is a lot to compensate with washers. I’m surprised this happened as I know they pass QC before sending wheels out. The rear brake rotor carrier is removable. I would just request a new rotor carrier.

[@plus_killer97]

bro do you recommend the new yamaha mt 09 2024 or the aprilia rs660?

[@ALFAVITAGA]

@@plus_killer97 These are two different bikes. It depends on what you need. One is a naked bike, and one is a full fairing bike. The MT09 has more power, but the RS660 is more planted. One is Japanese and one is Italian. Dealer access is also important when selecting a bike. There are so many variables that I can’t give a simple answer on which I recommend.

[@bao_motor]

How about the factory wheel? I don't know how many kilos it saved.

[@ALFAVITAGA]

@@bao_motor These wheels are lighter than factory and look better. Just a bit more expensive than factory wheels but you also get an upgraded sprocket carrier with Core Moto, so the price evens out.
