ROTOBOX BOOST Rear KTM RC8 /RC8R 09+

Rotobox BOOST Symmetric Rear Wheel

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.

ASSEMBLING COMPONENTS

Rotobox Boost Wheel set Weight example:

Stock S1000RR 11.70kg (25.79 lbs)

Rotobox Boost 6.69kg (14.74 lbs)

Weight saving more than 5.00kg of rotating mass. Incredible!

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.

HIGH PRESSURE CORE

The new technology achieves a high density of armature in the composite, extreme metric accuracy and a greater smoothness of the wheel surface. In addition - the wheel becomes watertight.

THINNER SPOKES

The new elegant spoke design brings aerodynamic and weight improvements. Although the spokes are thinner the BOOST is stronger than ever - with a permissible maximal static load of 280 kg on rear and 180 kg on front wheel.

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.

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.

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.
