Special character of GALE SPEED TYPE-M

Galespeed wheels are made using unique HOT FORGING and MULTI-FORM FORGING processes. Galespeed uses a combination of high heat, 8000 tons of pressure and a multi-directional forging process to create a wheel that is exceptionally light and strong.

Forged magnesium wheel
High-end model, designed for serious rides.
GALESPEED forged magnesium wheels guarantee a 35% weight saving (compared with forged aluminum ones).
Design
Rough Mesh spoke is designed to scatter the stress to the rim equally, enabling Galespeed to make each spoke as slim and light as possible without sacrificing strength.
Rim
The rim thickness is designed to give enough resistance against cyclic loading which is a disadvantage of Magnesium.The rim where we instilled our maximum know-how is the most concern in the weight saving, and determines the wheel durability.
Front hub system
By adopting the new system to press the bearings into the hub section directly,it realizes greater stiffness which modular system can not reach to Thanks to this system, brake disc brackets are shaved off to the very limit and as a result further weight saving can be realized.
Bolt
The bolts is screwed into heli coils to prevent the corrosion and the scratch on the wheel surface finishing.
Bearing
On both front and rear wheels, 50mm outer dia. 6006 type bearing is adopted.It realizes both stiffness and durability of bearing itself, and gives more reliability on its road usage.
Double row bearing
Double row bearing is used on the sprocket housing where the driving power is directly transferred,for improving the stiffness. In addition, this bearing can reduce the runout of the sprocket and as a result,helps to improve the power transfer and the durability of the bearing and the cush-drive damper.
C ring
C ring secures the bearing on the sprocket side hub to prevent the backlash.
