wheel weight

[kawasuki]

On a site called Ram ,it said that 1 kg off the wheel is like 6-8kg off the bike. They also said it would be like having approx 20hp gain if using the same wheels on a track bike. As Mechanx said loose weight , well i reckon he would have to loose approx 40 kgs to have the same advantage as carbon wheels.Look at the 7 sec Ozzy drag bikes 2 of the have Dymag carbon rears and the other Marvic magnesium rear , i think also Brock Davidson used the Dymag carbons to get the world speed record on the Busa.
