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
Yamaha YZ85 Dirt Bike (2002-2026)
The Yamaha YZ85 has been a dominant force in youth motocross from 2002 to 2026, consistently powered by an 85cc liquid-cooled, two-stroke, single-cylinder engine. This high-performance dirt bike is designed for aspiring racers, offering a blend of power and agility. Throughout its production, the YZ85 has been available in two primary trims: the Standard YZ85 with 17-inch front and 14-inch rear wheels, and the YZ85LW (Large Wheel) featuring larger 19-inch front and 16-inch rear wheels, catering to taller riders. While the core 85cc engine remained, the YZ85 underwent significant evolution. A major "ground-up redesign" in 2019 introduced a new engine with Yamaha Power Valve System (YPVS) for broader power delivery, along with updated suspension, swingarm, brakes, and ergonomics. Further revisions in 2022 refined the styling and chassis, including a flatter seat, narrower fuel tank, reworked air intake, and a new lightweight aluminum subframe, making it resemble larger YZ models. The 2026 model largely carries over these enhancements with updated graphics. FAQ:
