2014 black rims manufacturer

[gsxrbee]

Hi guys!

Do you know who's the manufacturer of the black rims mounted on 2014's Italian Huskys?

Are them Excel or DID or...

Thanks

I thought mine said d.I.d on them. But may be wrong. I never really looked.

Excel according to dealer specs.

Excel the Italian huskys used Excel rims as their supplier

The '13 had silver excel rims.

I believe the '14 were the same rims just poorly sprayed black. They do not hold up like a facotry black rim should.

From what I was told the black rims on the 14s were the same junky rims KTM uses.

Yep, I was told the same from the dealer I bought the bike from. No Excel rims on '14s

While the data may just be a copy of the '13 specs as many dealers pictures are just that, it does say Excel rim. They were on the '12 model so assuming they had enough to cover the 'small number of '14s. This clip is from Tri County Powersports website.. I guess Giant is tooling up and folks who buy the bikes with them just have to suck it up till they get it right.

They are Excel Takasago Signature rims, just anodized black. These are far better than the soft oem rims which KTM uses and the Excel A60's are pretty much the best $ can buy. We sell them, w/e you guys need, we can do. I prefer silver for desert racing due to scratches, but black rims looks amazing.

 

[Matthew525]

The 14 rims are defiantly not anodized black. They are poorly spray painted black. They look like junk after a year.

Ya the rims on my 14 txc310r are definitely not anodized more like a rough powder coating. . They mark up real easy and kinda look like crap already (bought the bike in march of last year) when i bought the bike at the dealership the guy said they weren't excels and wasn't sure exactly what they were, but they seem to be holding up pretty well minus the finish

 

[Johnrg]

I like the looks but glad I don't have them as changing my own I do scrape the rims especially putting the mousses on.

 

[robertaccio]

this is how I keep my black rims looking good. mine get beat to crap. Black sharpie!!

If that's true, then I would guess that KTM just through whatever rims they had available on them in order to bulk sell them. I know that the MY14 we have here in the shop came with Takasago rims, but maybe they were more careful in what they passed on to me.

The 11 rims I have are Saxxes Race. The only scratches I have are from gnarly rocks. I know it's easier to deal with natural rims, but black rims are deeeaaddd seeexxayy.

 

[Xcuvator]

Don't forget that there is anodizing and there is hard anodizing. Hard anodizing is thicker and harder.

I've got the answer. The manufacturer of the '14 model líne black rims is the German GOLDSPEED.

Them do not have the quality and finísh of takasago Excel but them are not bad.
