For Sale Marchesini Magnesium Wheels 748 916 996 998

And the later / better ribbed rear wheel. These don’t come up that often. GLWS.

 

Mind me asking how much these weigh? I'd like to compare against my stock Multistrada wheels!

With tyres is fine as that's what they are currently on mine.

 

These wheels, on a Tamburini, make a MASSIVE handling difference. It makes a rather « heavy steering » bike handle like an 848… Truly impressive and absolutely addictive !

 

I agree Guillaume as Ive a pair on my 916.

 

Looking forward getting these on my heavy as *%} 748

 

Won't be long before we're out mate

 

I know I know, I might even tax the bike on 1st March if I’m still “glass half full” by then.

 

So you got these for your 748?

 

mine dont have the ribs. what does that mean? lighter but worth less and less rigid?

 

Just the older type mate. These were more prone to cracking on track. Nothing to worry about though.

 

Just before he sadly passed away, I asked Roberto Marchesini the same question as I couldn’t find a definitive answer…

 

I was gonna send you an sms at 11:30pm but thought nah that’s too late

 

Mine are the unribbed ones. You will notice the difference immediately. Its the best mod you can make as it helps the bike so much. My old ones are languishing in my garage with the same tyres I left on them 15yrs ago.

It is one of most immediately apparent modifications that you can feel. Plus they look nice.

 

You just need to pay attention on your first couple rides, as the bike will be way more agile and quick to lean inside turns. As a result, beware of not leaning to far inside. It might take you by surprise at first but will very quickly become a wonderful feeling…
