OZ Piega R Forged Aluminium Front Wheel – Kawasaki ZX-10 R (2016-2020) R31853507

Conceived in the OZ SBK Racing department and forged from premium aluminium, the Piega R front wheel represents the pinnacle of OZ's track-focused wheel engineering. Lighter still than the already-lean standard Piega range, it was developed exclusively for circuit use on the Kawasaki ZX-10 R (2016-2020) — where every gram of rotating mass saved translates directly into sharper turn-in, faster direction changes and more consistent lap times.

Key Features

• Five-spoke Piega R design born directly from OZ's SBK Racing programme, optimised to minimise rotating mass without compromising structural integrity
• Forged aluminium construction delivers an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, reducing unsprung and rotating mass for measurably improved agility
• Available in two striking anodised finishes — Techno Black and Techno Gold — giving the ZX-10 R a race-derived aesthetic that stands apart from stock
• Track-exclusive specification: engineered to perform under the extreme thermal, lateral and braking loads generated in circuit competition
• Supplied complete with high-quality bearings, aluminium angled valves and spacers (where required) for a precision, ready-to-fit installation
• Made in Italy to OZ's exacting manufacturing standards — the same provenance behind decades of championship-winning motorsport wheels

Design, Finish and Heritage

The Piega R is not a road wheel adapted for track duty — it is a pure racing wheel that carries the full weight of OZ's motorsport legacy. The five-spoke architecture was defined by the OZ SBK Racing department to balance torsional stiffness with the lowest achievable mass, a philosophy refined across years of Superbike competition. The two anodised colour options, Techno Black and Techno Gold, are not cosmetic afterthoughts; they reflect the livery traditions of factory SBK squads and give the Kawasaki ZX-10 R a coherent, purpose-built race appearance whether the bike runs in team colours or a personal livery.

Forging, rather than casting, aligns the grain structure of the aluminium along the lines of stress within the spoke, producing a wheel that is simultaneously lighter and more resistant to fatigue — a fundamental advantage over cast alternatives when the wheel is subjected to repeated heavy braking and aggressive kerb strikes in race conditions.

Track Performance

Reducing rotating mass at the wheel has a compounding effect on motorcycle dynamics. The Piega R's lighter front wheel reduces the gyroscopic resistance the rider must overcome when initiating a lean, allowing the ZX-10 R to tip into corners with less effort and recover direction more quickly at corner exit. Under hard braking the reduced inertia also means the wheel responds faster to brake inputs, improving feel and control at the limit. For club racers, trackday enthusiasts and competitive Superbike riders alike, the Piega R delivers tangible, measurable benefits that no tyre or suspension change alone can replicate.
