Description
The Excel Takasago aluminum alloy rim is the benchmark in off-road racing rim technology. Every Excel MX rim is engineered and designed to perform in extreme hostile environments where other rims routinely fail. In fact, Excel has won more Motocross and off-road championships - worldwide - than all competitors combined! Part of the secret is in our exclusive 7000 series aluminum alloy which has a 50% higher yield strength than our competitor's 6 series aluminum. Also, exclusive know- how in extrusion design, complex multi-step forming, advanced robotics welding, and in hard anodizing such a tough and complex material is key to Excel's strength and world market dominance. They are the choice of all Factory Works and Privateer Teams worldwide and the choice of OEM builders such as Honda, Kawasaki, KTM, Suzuki and Yamaha.
FEATURES

The Kawasaki KDX220R, produced from 1997 to 2005, is a renowned off-road motorcycle designed for trail riding.
