**Raw finish means the wheel bodies have had no surface finishing treatment or protective coating. This option is only for customers who wish to have the wheels Painted, powdercoated or anodized themselves. Raw Machine finished wheels are sold with all components but are not assembled and carry no factory warranty since the wheels can be damaged in the finishing process if not done properly. Buyer assumes all risks.
Performance Difference:
Decreasing unsprung weight (weight below the suspension) and rotational mass greatly improves several responsive aspects of usable performance you can actually feel. The Apex-6 Wheel was designed to reduce overall weight, while also centralizing mass to decrease rotational forces. These weight reductions result in improved suspension response, lighter handling, faster acceleration and shorter braking distances. More info about unsprung weight and rotational mass at the bottom of the page.
About the Apex-6 wheel:
CAD Designed, one piece, proprietary Forged monolithic hub design. Core Moto makes true forged wheels, purpose built for performance. Rather than using market available generic forged blanks, Core Moto wheel forgings are made specific to each model we offer from proprietary forging dies. Although a custom forging limits the amount of sizes we can offer, it nets a superior product overall due to optimized grain flow properties. Each wheel starts out as an aluminum billet that does not resemble a wheel. This Billet is then heated and formed by a 6000 ton controlled Hydraulic constant pressure forge to create the central hub and spoke profile with optimized grain flow. Next a cold spin process is used to form the strong and light rim section. This creates the basic shape of the wheel profile with a non linier grain that instead flows to match the profile of the wheel. This process is highly controlled to distribute the grain of the metal in a way that optimizes the strength of the wheel on a molecular level, thus requiring less material (weight) needed in the final product. Constant pressure forging creates a more controlled and repeatable product than traditional drop forging.. Core Moto wheels are not drop forged. After forging, the near net forged blanks are heat treated, turned and milled by 3 and 5 Axis CNC machines in the USA with carbide and diamond cutting tools to remove material and give the wheel its final shape.
About our bearings:
Always factory equipped with high quality, smooth rolling bearings from genuine top tier bearing manufacturers..... Currently the availability of counterfeit bearings is a worldwide epidemic. Core Moto only sources genuine brand name bearings from top tier bearing distributors or factory direct to ensure tolerances and material compositions meet specifications. Our bearings are in most cases larger and wider than stock for more stability. We also choose a bearing seal type that is suited for long service life when maintained properly. Ceramic hybrid bearings are available upon request as an upgrade. We only suggest using ceramic bearings on regularly maintained race specific bikes.
Cush drive bushings:
New wheels made by Core Moto come with serviceable 5 or 6 pot cylindrical Cush Drive System for High HP Applications. In 2016 Core Moto developed a new Cush drive bushing that has proven durability. Our new bushing is now a single bonded hardened steel and firmer compound rubber unit. If your wheels were made before Core Moto started producing Carrozzeria wheels in 2016, improved bushings can be ordered in our genuine replacement parts section or from your favorite Core Moto dealer. As of 2019 we have 3 bushing sizes, depending on wheel model.
Sprocket Carrier:
New 5 bolt anodized CNC aluminum sprocket carrier for Apex-6 models are .25lb lighter than former 6 bolt Carriers. Each comes with, pressed in studs, metal locking sprocket nuts, bearing retaining ring and bearing for all models. Our sprocket studs are fully re designed, stronger and offer superior corrosion resistance. The drive stud head profile has been optimized to offer more engagement of the bushing system for even load distribution per unit. The Bolt pattern for the Apex-6 is NOT A KAWASAKI PATTERN. The Apex-6 uses a common custom 5 bolt sprocket made by most major manufacturers. More information on sprockets below. or Sprockets can be purchased at this link
Spacers and distance tubes:
Anodized CNC aluminum Spacers, Carriers and Distance Tubes are pre installed in the wheel set. Some spacers may be shipped uninstalled for wheel packing reasons, but will come with a diagram for easy placement. Each part is either laser or mechanically engraved with unique part numbers to identify the placement location. Most front wheel spacers are now fully captive using oil seals. Outer rear spacers are captive by bearing ID sleeves.
Rotor Carriers:
Rotor carriers will be pre mounted with stainless steel hardware as to not interfere with modern wheel speed sensor pickups. All rotor carriers are designed to accept OEM or aftermarket equivalent brake rotor discs and rotor bolts. New carriers are designed to optimize weight savings while offering a very rigid mount.
Speed sensor rings for ABS and TC:
Core Moto is now starting to incorporate our own speed sensor rings into the final product, allowing the customer to keep their sensor rings on their OEM wheels in some cases. Core Moto was the first aftermarket wheel manufacturer in the industry to do this. This has not been fully implemented for all applications as we are adding them as we make new changes to the hardware. Some application will require reuse of both OEM rings while some applications may come with only one Core Moto Ring front or rear. Each application is different. Applications where the sensor ring mounts to the outside of the rotor will not come with Core Moto speed sensor rings and will require re using OEM rings.
Valve stems:
Each wheel will come with 90 degree aluminum valve stems installed.
Sprocket requirement:
Due to the bolt circle diameter of the cush drive system, All Apex-6 Wheels require the use of a custom 5 bolt pattern sprocket.
This is a common sprocket bolt pattern used by other aftermarket forged wheel companies in our industry and available from most sprocket manufacturers.
You will need a sprocket to fit your current pitch 520-530. Then the proper tooth count.
Bolt hole count: 5
Sprocket stud size: M10x1.25
Bolt Hole Circle diameter: 100mm
Hub Diameter: 76mm
Sprockets can be purchased at this link.

Parts diagram: Exploded view parts diagrams are included with most wheels orders. These are to be used to ensure you received the correct parts and put them in the right place when installing your wheel kit. This is to be kept for future use in case you need a new part due to loss or damage.
NOTE: The diagram image below is a sample image of the diagram you will receive, not of the application in this listing.
About Unsprung weight:
Properly set up suspension allows the lower portions (swingarm, wheels and forks) to move rapidly with the bumps and dips in the road or track surface while keeping the main structure of the vehicle on a stable un interrupted path. In short reducing unsprung weight allows the suspension to work better by reducing the mass that needs to be controlled on compression and rebound, keeping the tire traction on the ground and the chassis stable.
About Rotational mass:
Reducing rotational mass increases acceleration, decreases braking distances and improves handling. Lighter wheels decrease the amount of power needed to get the tires spinning. This also reduces the amount of braking power needed to slow down the spinning wheel down. Rapid transitions from acceleration to deceleration benefit greatly from lighter wheels. Gyroscopic force is also reduced with lighter wheels, improving handling by reducing the amount of force needed to tilt the spinning wheel axis side to side. The reduction of gyroscopic and rotational inertial forces are compounded by higher speeds.

Core Moto Wheels terms and conditions 1-4-23
Any claims of a lost shipment must be made within 30 days of the ship date for Core Moto to take any action, no exceptions. All wheels orders are shipped with Signature request.
Initial inspection: All wheel sets must be fully inspected by the customer or installing dealer/mechanic before installing tires or performing any work. If an issue is present, it must be reported to Core Moto USA within 5 days of receiving the product and before ANY work is performed or any packaging is disposed of . All wheel sets are assembled cleaned and inspected and photographed by 3 people in a strict operational flow before leaving Core Moto facility to ensure no damage is present to the product being shipped. If the wheel set is returned to Core Moto and is not in the same condition as originally sent, a return will be denied.
Fitment:Most wheel sets made by Core Moto are designed to fit with the OEM (USA Model) hardware of the model application listed without modifications (sprockets excluded). It is not common but is possible that Core Moto aftermarket wheels may not work with other manufacturer’s aftermarket hardware without modification to one or the other component. Neither Core Moto or other aftermarket parts manufacturers can take into account every design dimension difference of another company’s product when designing parts. If a model does require a modification to fit Core Moto wheels, it will be noted in the application guide and the product listing. If a customer has a claim of fitment error, first step is to check that the part numbers received match the exploded view diagram provided with the wheel set and that the parts are installed in the correct location. If further help is needed, Core Moto will assist in diagnosing the issue. Detailed and precise feedback will be required by Core Moto to properly diagnose the issue. If the data requested by Core Moto USA is not provided exactly as requested, we may not be able to diagnose the issue. If the customer is unwilling to cooperate in a civil and productive manner, Core Moto will not be able to assist in diagnosing the issue nor will Core Moto assume that the issue is caused by the product being faulty. If it is determined that parts need to be sent to the customer to correct an issue caused by the product and not a modification to the vehicle , Core Moto will ship parts at no cost by the same shipping method chosen for the original order.
Color shades and finishes :Anodized colors can vary from batch to batch. Wheel sets are paired as front and rear sets in the anodize process... Very slight shade differences from front to rear may be present but will remain under a 5% range. In most cases this is undetectable when the wheels are mounted on the vehicle. No set is the exact color as the next. Shades are targeted to the images represented on our website, however anodizing is nearly impossible to color match on a product of this size and surface area from one set to the next. If a customer damages a wheel and orders a replacement single wheel, it is more than likely that the replacement wheel will not be the same shade as the previous. If possible, we will try to pick a wheel that has the closest shade to the previous wheel based on images provided by the customer. Core Moto no longer offers re finishing services for used wheels under any circumstances. Anodized finishes are tough and can last a indefinitely if maintained, but have a few weaknesses. Acidic washes , chemicals and environments can cause premature color fading or damage. Unprotected prolonged UV exposure can cause fading. Anodized finishes do not carry a warranty. Refer to our cleaning and care guide to properly maintain the surface finish. Machine lines and surface finishes: Core Moto wheels do not go through a heavy abrasive tumble polish process before anodizing. This is intentional and part of our “style”. Core Moto forged wheels are intended to show machine tool paths and lines for a technical manufactured look. Most hard edges are chamfered and radiused in the CNC machining process rather than abrasively softened in a tumbler or with hand tools to show the extensive machining detail opposed to our competitors . This gives the product more depth , detail and character in our opinion and looks more like a custom made bespoke part than a mass produced unit. A burnishing process breaks the smallest edges and brightens the product before anodizing but does not knock down tooling marks. A permissible amount of to oling and manufacturing process witness marks will be present in the final product.
Unfinished Raw wheels:Raw machined finish wheels are offered for customers who wish to have their wheels coated to a customer color of their choice. If a raw unfinished wheel set is ordered the wheel set will be sent in the condition it was after if was removed from the final CNC process. This may include a thin film of coolant / oil on the surface of the wheel. It is advised that the wheel set be cleaned and coated as soon as possible to avoid corrosion. Raw wheel set orders will be sent unassembled and in some cases may require an additional shipping charge if the loose components can not be safely packed inside the box that was designed for a completely assembled wheel set. Because the wheel set will be assembled and coated by an outside source, Raw wheel sets carry no warranty whatsoever.
Limited Warranty: Core Moto USA warranties to the original purchaser for a term of 2 years from the initial purchase date the product to be free of workmanship and material defects. This warranty is non transferrable and the warranty is tied to an order number within Core Moto sales system that must be referenced to start the warranty process. Limitations of warranty: Warranties are void in cases as described. The wheel or its components have been modified in any way, including finishes or alterations to the product void warranty. The product is used in competition or has been subjected to unusual abuses or misuse voids warranty. Improper installation, maintenance and care will void warranty. Damage was caused by or due to aftermarket modifications to the vehicle that increase loads on wheels or wheel components not present if wheels were installed on an OEM vehicle voids warranty. Damage caused when wheels are not installed mating directly to OEM components the wheel application was designed for voids warranty. Impact damage of any kind, by tool or road conditions is not covered under warranty. Any signs of impact or previous repair will void warranty. Wear items, such as cush drive bushings and bearings are not covered under warranty. These wear items require regular inspection and replacement to ensure they are in proper working order and do not cause damage to the wheel or components. Damage caused by chemicals will void warranty. It is the owners responsibility to insure that Core Moto instructions on installation, cleaning and maintenance are followed by themselves or qualified mechanic. Routine inspection is advised and is much more effective on clean wheels. Warranty is limited to the original wheel and components and does not cover the costs associated with mechanic / shop fees or damage to other components of the vehicle.
Warranty Claims:Core Moto must be contacted via email to support@coremoto.com to initiate a warranty claim. Support staff will require explanation and very specific photographic evidence to start a warranty claim. Damaged wheel and component claims authorized with an approved RMA number must be returned to Core Moto USA, 1500 Shepard Dr, Titusville FL USA 32780 for inspection and destruction. Core Moto USA will replace the damaged component or wheel that is determined to have failed under normal circumstances with the most current version of said product in the same color if available. In the case that the exact product is no longer available, Core Moto will replace the effected product with a comparable or greater value product at no charge to the customer. If the product is out of stock at the time, Core Moto will replace the product as soon as it is available. In the case that Core Moto, upon inspection determines that the product was damaged due to any of circumstances that void warranty, the warranty claim will be denied and the customer will be responsible for return shipping.
