Marchesini Forged Magnesium M7R GENESI For YAMAHA YZF-R6 2017

Marchesini M7R GENESI Forged Magnesium Wheels | Yamaha YZF-R6 (2017+) | Race Performance

Unleash the ultimate performance of your Yamaha YZF-R6 (2017+) with Marchesini M7R GENESI Forged Magnesium Wheels. Reduce unsprung weight by 26-41% for explosive acceleration, shorter braking, and razor-sharp handling. Direct MotoGP technology for the road and track.

The Marchesini M7R GENESI Forged Magnesium Wheel Set is the pinnacle of motorcycle wheel engineering, bringing genuine MotoGP-derived technology directly to your Yamaha YZF-R6 (2017 and newer). Forged using a high-grade magnesium alloy (ZK60A) typically reserved for aerospace applications, these 7-spoke wheels feature a multi-directional forging process that optimises the metal's internal structure for maximum strength and fatigue resistance at the lowest possible weight. The result is a transformative performance upgrade: a complete set weighs only about 7.7 kg, achieving a weight reduction of 26% to 41% compared to the original equipment (OE) wheels. This significant drop in unsprung and rotational mass translates to immediate, tangible improvements in every aspect of riding—from explosive starts and faster cornering turn-in to reduced braking distances and greater stability. Finished with a durable, high-quality urethane paint over a protective primer, the M7R Genesi wheels are a perfect fusion of performance, reliability, and aggressive aesthetic beauty. Please note: A special Marchesini sprocket is required for correct fitment (sold separately).

Best Uses

1. Track Days & Racing: Essential upgrade for competitive riders seeking maximum acceleration, reduced lap times, and improved chassis feedback.
2. High-Performance Street Riding: For enthusiasts who demand razor-sharp handling, quicker direction changes, and the highest level of stability.
3. Weight Reduction Projects: The most effective single component upgrade for drastically reducing the bike's unsprung mass.
4. Custom/Show Builds: The iconic 7-spoke design and prestigious Marchesini name add an unparalleled level of aesthetic and performance value.

Features

1. Aerospace-Grade Magnesium: Constructed from high-strength ZK60A forged magnesium alloy for superior mechanical properties and extreme lightweight design.
2. Multi-Directional Forging: Utilizes advanced forging techniques to align the metal's internal structure (MFD) for enhanced strength and durability where it matters most—the rim.
3. Aggressive 7-Spoke Design: The iconic M7R Genesi design offers the optimal balance of stiffness, low weight, and unmistakable racing aesthetics.
4. Massive Weight Reduction: Reduces overall unsprung mass by 26% to 41% compared to OEM wheels, profoundly improving the power-to-weight ratio.
5. New Ring-Type Damper System: Incorporates a newly designed damper system for improved durability and weight reduction on key components.

Benefits

1. Explosive Acceleration: Significant reduction in rotational mass allows the engine to spin the wheels up faster, resulting in quicker take-offs and higher speed out of corners.
2. Enhanced Handling and Stability: Less gyroscopic effect from lighter wheels makes the bike easier to tip into turns, allows for faster line corrections, and improves overall agility.
3. Shorter Braking Distances: Less rotational inertia means the brakes have less mass to slow down, improving feel and reducing the distance required to stop.
4. Improved Suspension Performance: Reducing unsprung weight allows the suspension to react faster and more effectively to road/track imperfections, leading to better tire contact and grip.
5. Genuine Race Proven Reliability: Developed from Marchesini's extensive experience in MotoGP and World Superbike, ensuring race-ready performance and JWL-compliant safety standards.
