OZ Cattiva Magnesium Rear Wheel for Yamaha YZF-R6 (2003–2016) – C6032YA55X

Born on the circuit and shaped by OZ's SBK Racing division, the Cattiva rear wheel brings genuine Italian competition heritage to the Yamaha YZF-R6. Forged from premium magnesium and styled with the iconic six-spoke Cattiva design, this wheel is among the lightest OZ produces — a direct upgrade that sharpens steering response and reduces rotational inertia in every corner.

Key Features

• Forged magnesium construction delivers exceptional stiffness-to-weight ratio, minimising rotational mass for faster acceleration and more precise turn-in.
• Six-spoke Cattiva design conceived by OZ's SBK Racing department — a silhouette with genuine motorsport DNA, not an aesthetic afterthought.
• Optimised for track use: heightened rigidity at speed and through fast, committed corners where tyre feedback is critical.
• Made in Italy to OZ's exacting manufacturing standards, ensuring consistent quality and long-term durability under race conditions.
• Supplied with quality bearings, aluminium angled valves and spacers (fitted only where required).
• Includes a sprocket carrier — note that the original Yamaha rear sprocket is not compatible; a replacement sprocket is required.

Design, Finish and Heritage

The Cattiva name has appeared on OZ wheels in elite racing paddocks for years, and this rear wheel carries that lineage into the YZF-R6 fitment. The choice of three finishes — gloss black, matte black and gold — allows riders to complement their R6's livery while the underlying form remains unchanged: clean spoke lines tapering from a robust hub, a design that reads as purposeful rather than decorative. Each finish is applied to the same forged magnesium shell, so the structural integrity and weight advantage are identical across the colour options; the distinction is purely visual and speaks directly to the rider's sense of identity on track.

Performance on Track

Reduced unsprung and rotational mass is one of the most tangible performance gains available on a motorcycle. By replacing the stock wheel with a forged magnesium Cattiva, the YZF-R6 benefits from quicker direction changes, improved suspension response — because the fork and shock are working against less inertia — and a more connected feel through the tyre. At the speeds and lean angles a R6 reaches on circuit, those differences translate directly into lap time and rider confidence.

Fitment and Compatibility

This rear wheel is engineered exclusively for track use and is a precise fit for the Yamaha YZF-R6 across the following model years:

• Yamaha YZF-R6 2003–2016 (all variants within this production run)

The wheel is supplied with a sprocket carrier; however, the original Yamaha rear sprocket is not compatible and must be replaced with an appropriate aftermarket item. Spacers are included and fitted only where needed. This product is intended solely for closed-circuit, competition use.
