Rotobox Wheels
About Rotobox Wheels:
Rotobox CEO Gregor Bizjak asked himself more than a decade ago how to make the lightest and strongest carbon fiber wheels. That question led to the development of a revolutionary 3 component-carbon-epoxy-steel-composite and a newly developed production procedure. This eventually led to a new generation of high-performance Rotobox carbon fiber motorcycle wheels.
Prior to Rotobox, Gregor Bizjak worked in the luxury industry and was a tool supplier among others for Akrapovic KTM and Alba. Both experiences helped to create a passion for the attention to detail and a better understanding of the tough demands of the high-performance automotive industry.
Since the very first day, Rotobox strives to take the performance of Rotobox Boost carbon fiber wheels to a new level. By continuously pushing the boundaries of creative engineering Rotobox products set industry standards for lightness, stiffness, design and premium quality. Whether on the track or on the road – the racing DNA of the Rotobox team is not only reflected in the wheels but can be felt with every meter driven. It is clear that the Rotobox team loves what they do, and it is this ambition that delivers the best experience wherever the Rotobox carbon fiber motorcycle wheel takes you.
Carbon Fiber Fever:
After professionals accepted the initial innovation and it began to see greater usage, the use of carbon fiber Rotobox wheels has only grown more and more with time. The combination of high-stiffness, excellent strength, low weight, and appealing design are major factors in its rise in prominence. Investing in Rotobox Boost carbon fiber motorcycle wheels is one of the best ways to significantly improve a motorcycle’s performance. Browse our selection today—you’ll be thankful you did once you hit the road in these Rotobox Boost wheels.

The new and improved model BOOST carbon fiber wheel from Rotobox, decreasing the weight from the RBX2 with improved design and higher performance! Comes in gloss and matte finish, in both symmetric and convex designs.
Like the RBX2, the BOOST is produced using Rotobox's unique 3-component composite - combining carbon, epoxy and stainless steel. By integrating the stainless 2,5 mm steel wire in each side of the rim, we increase its impact resistance at the most critical outer part. JWL and DOT approved, having met JASO T203-85 safety standards.
Another hidden BOOST gem - the Structural Rib. Thanks to the High Pressure Core Technology the structural rib is placed in the inner side between the spokes, with its mission to support the stress hot spot of the wheel. As a result the BOOST elegant spoke design brings greater stiffness and although the spokes are thinner the BOOST is stronger than ever - with a permissible static load of 280 kg on the rear and 180kg on the front wheel.

UV PROTECTIVE COATING:
The carbon cast is protected from radiation with a very thin layer of special clear UV protective coating. Together with the clear and smooth rim surface it ensures the wheel a zero notch effect.
HIGH QUALITY CENTER PARTS:
For each motorcycle model the hubs are CNC machined from high quality 7075 T6 aluminum alloy used in the aviation industry, anodized into optional color and permanently assembled to the carbon rim.
SOLID THIN SPOKES:
To create solid thin spokes we use special carbon fiber yarn developed for military use.
THREE-COMPONENT-COMPOSITE:
Produced using Rotobox's unique 3 component composite - combining carbon, epoxy and stainless steel. The stainless 2,5 mm steel wire is integrated in each side of the rim increasing its impact resistance at the most critical outer part.
Titanium Hex Head Bolts M10x1.5x25mm:
Made from Aircraft Spec Grade 5 Titanium Alloy. Special high performance design by Rotobox. Precision machined with rolled threads and completely corrosion free. Excellent durability and minimum weight, 45% lighter than steel equivalents. Available optionally with the wheels.
CHOPPED CARBON FIBERS MEETS WOVEN FABRIC:
Rotobox's unique technology enables combining chopped carbon fibers with woven fabric seamlessly in one-piece monocoque.
PENTAGON SHAPED HUB:
The hub is locked into the carbon part with pentagon shape for ultimate transmission of torque.
