Many motorcyclists who use carbon rims do this, among other things, to reduce the weight of the accelerated mass.
Since the weight on the unsprung mass, i.e. on the whole bike, is important, one tries to save weight on the tires and even the brake discs.
What does a motorcycle tire weigh?
We also maintain the weight of each individual tire in our database, as we need this, among other things, to calculate the shipping costs.
The weight of motorcycle tires varies from model to model and varies between 4 to 8 or 9 kg.
Sports or racing tires are built to be particularly light, but with heavy motorcycles it is advantageous if the tires also have a little more mass.
What is the load index (load index) for motorcycle tires?
Is the coding which indicates the maximum permissible load for motorcycles.
The index is noted on the side of the tire. A table can be used to determine the maximum permissible load per tire in kilograms.
