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
- Anodized aluminum construction
- Available in many anodized colours as listed
- All rims must use Excel spoke and nipple sets, unless otherwise noted (OEM nipples are too small)

Vehicle Information
Kawasaki KX450X Dirt Bike (2021-2026)
The Kawasaki KX450X (2021-2026) is a high-performance, dedicated cross-country racing motorcycle. Powered by a consistent 449cc liquid-cooled, four-stroke, DOHC single-cylinder engine, it offers robust power delivery across all model years, typically around 53 HP. Throughout this period, the KX450X has been offered as a single, specialized trim, built upon the KX450 motocross platform with off-road specific modifications. A significant generational update occurred in 2024, carrying over into the 2025 and 2026 models. This overhaul introduced a new engine with revised cylinder head and intake, a lighter aluminum perimeter frame, and a center exhaust for improved performance and handling. Key enhancements also included a Brembo front brake, advanced electronic rider aids like Kawasaki Traction Control (KTRC) and Bluetooth connectivity, plus updated ergonomics. The 2025 model saw a minor air-intake upgrade, while 2026 featured largely cosmetic changes. FAQ:
