ABOUT ROTOBOX CARBON FIBER WHEELS:
The Rotobox Carbon Fiber Wheels are ultra light motorcycle wheels for racing and road application and an upgrade product to any model of sportbike. Our wheels have been designed to meet the highest level of racing performance and due to one-piece hollow carbon cast construction the wheels develop a safe and controlled advantage in speed, providing the lowest moment of inertia and the lowest gyroscopic effect.
The Rotobox wheels are the lightest and the strongest carbon fiber motorcycle wheels, due to use of premium materials and advanced technology. Our process of producing one-piece hollow carbon cast is an adaptation of high-pressure Resin Transfer Molding technology to ensure the best quality, the continuity of the procedure and subsequent safety of our products.
THE MAN BEHIND THE PERFECT WHEEL:
Gregor Bizjak has worked as a research and development engineer since 1997 and is experienced with production management, CAD designing, CAM programming, reverse engineering and development of tools.
As a motorcycle racer, Gregor thought of the idea to develop and produce a carbon fiber wheel for motorcycles with a revolutionary design and technical perfection in order to achieve maximum racing performance. This design demanded that Gregor come up with an innovative way of producing a one-piece hollow carbon construction, something much more complex than what has been allowed previously. Gregor has truly reinvented the wheel.
SAFETY FIRST:
The wheels conform to safety standard JASO T203-85 for JWL dotE Certification. The construction of one-piece hollow carbon cast of the Rotobox wheel develop the safest and most controlled advantage in speed. Rotobox wheels are truly the first safe carbon wheels for motorbikes on the market.
GO FOR BETTER RESPONSE:
The Rotobox wheel gives great response, because of faster acceleration and better braking. This is a great advantage in turns allowing higher speed entering into the turn and faster accelerating after the turn. Rotobox wheels give your bike clever performance.
EMBRACE GREATER STIFFNESS:
The Rotobox wheel has greater stiffness, because of the construction of one-piece hollow carbon cast. The wheel is produced with high-pressure RTM technology, which ensures a clean, smooth and hard surface.
SPEED IS THE GOAL:
In seven years of intensive R&D work we have made the most powerful wheel for road and racing motorcycles. We are focused on sportbikes, because when the bike uses Rotobox wheels it becomes at least 5 kg (11 lb.) lighter than stock and that is a huge amount of unsprung mass shaved from the bike; it is basically like adding some HP to the engine.
WARRANTY:
All Rotobox wheels come with a two-year, limited manufacturer's warranty.
TESTING LABORATORY:
The Rotobox wheels correspond to the safety standard JASO T203-85 for JWL dotE, which requires testing at four different fatigues. Because safety is the most important feature the company has its own rigorous laboratory for testing:
- Radial Fatigue Test: The wheel is exposed to rotational forces.
- Torsional Fatigue Test: The wheel is exposed to torsic torque.
- Impact Test: A weight load is dropped on the wheel.
- Cornering Fatigue Test: The wheel is exposed to assymetrical torque.

ROTOBOX TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION:
Ultra Thin Layer of Special Clear Coat:
The carbon cast is protected from radiation with very thin layer of special clear UV protective coating. The rim surface is very clean, smooth and UV resistant and ensure our wheels have zero notch effect on the surface.
High Accuracy of Center Parts:
The center parts of the wheel include aluminum alloy 7075-T6 hubs, spacers and sprocket carrier. All parts are CNC machined at accuracy of ±0.02 mm for each bike model specifically and designed to be direct replacement for stock wheels, except for sprocket.
Anodized 90° Angled Valve Stem:
We use 90° angled valve stem to ensure air pressure resistance at high speed. Default color of valve stem is red.
Venting Hole:
Each rim spoke has special venting hole placed on the bottom of the spoke to prevent condensation.
The Lowest Unsprung Weight:
Unique design of the wheel yields the maximum output for each specific motorcycle model while significantly reducing overall weight for top performance.
A Rib For Torque Resistance:
Each spoke of the wheel has a special rib to improve torque resistance.
Rotational Aerodynamics:
Eliptical cross-section of spokes for lower aerodynamic coefficient during rotation.
Rim Reinforced With Stainless 2.5mm Steel Wire:
For greater impact resistance of the rim we insert stainless 2.5mm steel wire inside each side of the rim.
