OZ GP Replica GP-8R Aluminium Front Wheel Yamaha YZF-R1/M RN32, RN49 & RN65 (2015–2026) V3177YA35

Engineered to the exacting standards of OZ Racing's motorsport heritage, the GP Replica GP-8R aluminium front wheel is a certified, precision-built upgrade for the Yamaha YZF-R1 and YZF-R1M across model codes RN32, RN49 and RN65 — covering every model year from 2015 to 2026. Designed to meet the demands of riders who refuse to compromise on safety, quality or lap times, this is the front wheel the R1's superbike character deserves.

Key Features

• Certified OZ Racing aluminium construction — built to the rigorous quality and safety standards that supply MotoGP and WorldSBK manufacturers
• GP-8R spoke geometry reduces rotating unsprung mass at the front axle, sharpening turn-in response and improving front-end feedback in fast corners
• Precise 17" x 3.50" front fitment — drop-in compatibility for RN32, RN49 and RN65 with all model-specific bushes and spacers included
• Available in five anodised finishes: Gloss Black, Techno Black, Techno Gold, Gloss Gold and Titanium — coordinate with bodywork, brake hardware or a matching OZ GP-8R rear wheel
• Suitable for road, trackday and high-specification R1 builds — a single-wheel upgrade with genuine performance and aesthetic returns
• Compact 90-degree aluminium valve included — a considered detail that keeps clearances tight on sportsbike wheel bays

Motorsport-Grade Safety Meets Road-Legal Precision

OZ Racing's reputation was forged supplying wheels to the highest levels of professional motorcycle racing, and the GP Replica range carries that lineage into production. The GP-8R is manufactured from high-grade aluminium using the same quality controls and structural standards applied to OZ's competition components. Every wheel undergoes strict dimensional and integrity checks before leaving the factory, giving riders the confidence that comes only from a brand whose wheels have carried champions across finish lines.

For the Yamaha YZF-R1 and R1M — motorcycles with sharper chassis geometry and electronics than most road cars — the quality of the front wheel directly influences how faithfully the suspension and tyres communicate with the rider. A correctly certified, precisely machined wheel like the GP-8R ensures that the R1's sophisticated electronics package and Öhlins suspension work from a solid, trustworthy foundation.

Front-Axle Dynamics: Where Handling Begins

On a superbike, the front wheel is not merely structural — it is the first and most critical point of communication between rider and road. By reducing rotating unsprung mass at the front axle, the GP-8R allows the R1's forks to track surface changes more accurately, permits faster steering responses to inputs, and delivers a more immediate, readable feeling through the bars during hard braking and corner entry.

On demanding back roads, high-speed sweepers or a circuit trackday, these characteristics translate into a motorcycle that feels more focused, more obedient and — crucially — more inspires confidence precisely when and where it matters most.

GP Replica Design: Racing Aesthetics Without Compromise

The GP-8R spoke pattern is unmistakably OZ — technical, purposeful and visually light. It suits the aggressive, angular lines of the YZF-R1 and R1M without looking afterthought. Whether paired with a standard Yamaha colour scheme, a custom livery or a full carbon-trimmed superbike build, the GP-8R provides a visual signature that reads as serious and considered rather than merely decorative.

Five anodised finishes allow riders to match or contrast with existing hardware. Techno Black and Gloss Black complement dark or matte bodywork and carbon components. Techno Gold and Gloss Gold bring a period-correct racing reference. Titanium sits beautifully against silver, white or blue Yamaha schemes and pairs naturally with the R1M's premium finish palette.

Fitment & Compatibility

This wheel is confirmed to fit the following Yamaha models directly, using the included model-specific bushes and spacers:

• Yamaha YZF-R1 RN32 (2015–2016)
• Yamaha YZF-R1M RN32 (2015–2016)
• Yamaha YZF-R1 RN49 (2017–2019)
