The BMW F900 GS is one of the most exciting adventure bikes on the market: agile, powerful, touring-friendly, and perfectly prepared for on- and off-road adventures. But if you want to get even more out of your machine, you quickly turn to wheel conversion. High-quality spoked wheels not only improve the look but also the stability – especially for off-road use. In this article, we show why rim rings from Excel Takasago and hubs from Haan Wheels are a perfect choice for the BMW F900 GS.
Why convert to spoked wheels at all?
Although the BMW F900 GS is very well equipped ex works, in many cases riders want more:
- Higher stability on off-road tours
- More robust spoked wheels for challenging terrain
- Better aesthetics through individual color design
- Tubeless capability for more safety
This is where the proven combinations of Excel Takasago rim rings and Haan hubs come into play.
Excel Takasago Rim Rings – Quality from the World of Motorsports
Excel Takasago rim rings are among the best products worldwide in the off-road and supermoto sector. Made from high-strength 7000 series alloy aluminum, they offer:
- extremely high strength
- low weight
- excellent durability, even under the harshest conditions
- noble appearance thanks to colored anodizing
For the BMW F900 GS, this means: more reserves under load, better impact resistance on gravel and off-road tracks, and a real visual highlight.
Haan Hubs – Precision from CNC Technology
The matching hubs are supplied by the Dutch manufacturer Haan Wheels. Each hub is CNC-milled from a block of 6082 T6 aluminum and anodized. Advantages of this technology:
- maximum stability and durability
- highest precision in fit
- numerous color options for individual aesthetics
In combination with high-quality stainless steel spokes (up to 30% more stable than standard spokes), an extremely resilient wheelset is created, suitable for both road and tough off-road use.
Tubeless – riding without tubes for more safety
For many, the conversion to tubeless is a decisive argument:
- no sudden loss of air from small punctures
- easier tire repair on the go
- more stable handling
Our rims are tubeless-compatible in many dimensions — however, for the BMW F900 GS:
- For the 2.15x21 dimension, tubeless is technically possible, but the original tire pressure sensor (RDC) no longer fits here.
- For the narrower 1.85x21 dimension, tubeless is not feasible.
We are happy to advise individually on which combination is best suited for the respective purpose.
What needs to be considered when converting the BMW F900 GS?
In most cases, the conversion remains almost plug & play. Nevertheless, there are a few things that should be clarified in advance:
✅ The brake discs of the original BMW F900 GS can generally continue to be used.
✅ The ABS ring may need to be adapted for 17" or 19" front wheels. We do not currently supply a suitable ring; this would require adjustment by the customer or a specialist workshop.
✅ If different wheel sizes are chosen than the original ones, it should be checked in advance whether the combination fits without further modifications.
TÜV registration for wheel conversions – what is possible?
The Excel Takasago rim rings have DOT labeling, which generally allows for TÜV registration. However, ultimately the respective inspector on-site always decides. Prior consultation with the inspection body is therefore advisable, especially for special sizes.
Custom designs also for special requests
Do you ride a special model, a conversion, or would you like a special color combination? We also produce individual wheelsets for the BMW F900 GS. For this, we only need:
- desired rim size
- model, year of manufacture, and version of your F900 GS
- some photos of your motorcycle
