    Do not spent money on rims. Upgrade suspension and put Michelin Power 5 tires. Results are great

    Gee, the 1200's wheels already look great, I would spend the money on suspension and tires too, probably cheaper in fact than carbon wheels.

    HPS Sell Carbon fibre wheels, here is some information from their website in the UK..

    Key Benefits:

    • Strongest, Lightest & Most Durable Wheels available
    • Massive Performance & Handling Benefits
    • Typically Save between 2 to 6 Seconds on an average length lap
    • Gain Grip, Tyre Life, Acceleration and Improved Braking Performance
    • Your Bike will handle more easily with much faster turning into corners
    • Absolutely no suspension modifications or adjustments whatsoever required
    • By far the cheapest performance upgrade in pounds spent per performance gain
    • And, they look absolutely fantastic too!
    • Now also available in a Satin Matt finish and a choice of Candy Coloured finishes
    BUT THEY ARE £3000 GBP. Upgrade suspension first, then decide if its worth the extra ?

    In spring, I put on Dunlop Mutant´s and this "sharper shape" tire already helped the handling a lot + a bit better weight suited front springs, and now the bike is more responsive, that "flying hammer" feel is gone. But I still think about carbon wheels, and how do they could improve handling even more, on same conditions.
