DescriptionThe whole story▼
Engineered to meet the exacting safety and structural demands of motorsport, the OZ GP Replica GP-8R aluminium rear wheel is a precision-manufactured upgrade for the Yamaha YZF-R6 RJ27 (2017–2026). OZ Racing's decades of FIM World Championship homologation experience are baked into every spoke and rim flange of this 17" x 5.50" wheel — delivering a rear end you can trust at every corner exit, on road or track alike.
Key Features
- Purpose-built for the Yamaha YZF-R6 RJ27 (2017–2026) with model-specific bushings, spacers and an OZ High-Density rear sprocket carrier included as standard
- Aluminium construction reduces unsprung and rotational mass at the rear axle, sharpening throttle response and load-change behaviour through corners
- GP-8R multi-spoke design mirrors the race-derived aesthetics of OZ's MotoGP and WorldSBK wheel programmes
- Space-saving 90° aluminium valve included — keeps clearance tight without compromise
- Available in five anodised finishes: Gloss Black, Techno Black, Techno Gold, Gloss Gold and Titanium — each fully coordinated with the matching OZ GP-8R front wheel
- Part number V6247YA55 ensures exact fitment traceability for the RJ27 generation
Structural Integrity and OZ Racing Credentials
OZ Racing has supplied wheels to factory MotoGP, WorldSBK and Formula 1 teams for over forty years. That heritage translates directly into the GP Replica GP-8R range: every wheel is produced in OZ's Italian facility using aerospace-grade aluminium alloy and subjected to rigorous dimensional and load testing before it leaves the factory. For a Supersport machine like the YZF-R6 — where rear-wheel loads during braking, mid-corner and drive phases are severe — that level of quality assurance matters as much as the weight saving.
The anodised finish is not cosmetic alone. The electrolytic anodising process hardens the aluminium surface, providing a corrosion-resistant layer that stands up to road salt, track rubber and brake dust far better than paint. Whichever of the five colour variants you choose, the finish is durable by design.
Performance on Road and Track
Reducing rotational inertia at the rear wheel has a measurable effect on how a supersport motorcycle behaves. The R6 responds more crisply to throttle inputs, transitions more cleanly under braking and load change, and feels more composed when you drive hard out of slow corners. Whether your R6 spends its weekends on flowing B-roads or in the paddock at a track day, the GP-8R rear wheel is a logical foundation for a high-quality, race-orientated build.
It pairs seamlessly with the corresponding OZ GP-8R front wheel to create a matched set — consistent in design language, material specification and finish across both ends of the bike.
Important Fitment Note
The OZ High-Density rear sprocket carrier supplied with this wheel requires a new rear sprocket. OZ and Inter-Pace recommend the Sitta 201H as the compatible replacement. Please factor this into your build planning.
