In this video, we'll look at the differences between forged and cast motorcycle wheels (rims) and why forged rims can make your motorcycle quicker, better handling, better braking and also give you a smoother ride.

We'll be taking a close look at a forged motorcycle rim made by MOS Motor and discussing the benefits of using a lighter and stronger wheel versus the original cast rim.

Cast wheels (rims) are made by pouring melted aluminum into a mold, which can create weaknesses and result in a heavier wheel. On the other hand, forged wheels are made by heating a chunk of aluminum and shaping it with a mill, making both a lighter and a stronger wheel. It's an important distinction that has a big impact on your riding experience.

We'll explore the concepts of unsprung mass and inertia, and I'll explain how reducing unsprung weight can give your motorcycle or Vespa a performance increase in a number of ways. We'll also be taking a close look at the quality of the fit and finish of the MOS Motor forged wheels, as well as the installation process.

To demonstrate the improved acceleration, braking, and cornering capabilities of the forged wheels, I'll be taking my Vespa GTS for a spin with the MOS Motor forged wheels. I'll also be taking another identical Vespa GTS out with the original rims. You'll get to see first-hand how the two wheels perform on the road.
