Edition 40 newbie

Thats quite a lot of unsprung weight reduction... should make a fair bit of difference no?

From a brief drive the results are very promising.

Hi all
Just put the Belevedes on.
Interesting weighed them against the Brescias with tyres 8.7kg against 12.7 kg so 4kg a corner....bathroom scales!
Ride is a bit better but not a massive difference.Steering is alot more pointy as is the front end.
Personally I like the delicate look.

Does anyone have any idea how a 19" Pretoria compares?

According to a post halfway down the page in this thread, they’re just over 10kg without tyres.

@RichardP has said a 19” Brescia with tyre weighs 12.7kg. I’d have thought a 19” Brescia alloy would weigh more than 12.7kg with tyre fitted though, as typically I’d have expected a tyre on its own to weigh around 9-12kg, so maybe the figures he’s quoted are for wheels without tyres. unless his bathroom scales were throwing a wobbly at the time!

Welcome Richard & nice one on the ED40 purchase. Can i ask what number it is on the plaque? sort of compelling a list together.

Ohlins as i read are meant to be the best of the best coils, i did look at them myself but i'll be settling on KW V3's which i've read plenty of reviews to be very good for what i need. Running 19's Brescia's on mine still but set of BBS 19's should be going on tomorrow now.

Hi
Sorry for the late reply.I forgot to busy enjoying the Ohlins and 18 ins Belvederes!
Its number 140.
