When it comes to uncompromising performance in off-road, there's no getting around the Excel A60 rim rings. Developed in Japan by Excel Takasago, they set standards in terms of strength, precision, and durability.
But what exactly makes the A60 so special – and why do even the best factory teams in the world rely on it?
1. 20% more strength than conventional rim rings
The A60 rim is based on an advanced 7000 series aluminum alloy, which is even more resilient than the already proven 7050 alloy of the Excel Takasago Signature series.
The result: around 20% higher structural strength with only minimal additional weight. This means the A60 remains absolutely dimensionally stable even under extreme conditions – even with hard landings or aggressive cornering.
2. The exclusive V-profile – more stiffness, less weight
The characteristic V-profile is one of the A60's secrets.
Due to its narrower, tapered shape, the rim ring gains:
- significantly higher lateral stiffness,
- more precise steering characteristics, and
- an optimized weight-to-stability ratio.
This design comes directly from MXGP and AMA Supercross development and is only used in series production for the A60.
3. Precision manufacturing without a weld seam
Like all premium Excel rims, the A60 is seamlessly drawn from a single piece of aluminum.
This means:
- no weld seams,
- no imbalance risk,
- and perfect concentricity.
This manufacturing ensures exceptional smoothness and maximum reliability – crucial when every detail counts in a race.
4. Only in matte black – the hallmark of the A60
Visually, the A60 is immediately recognizable: it is exclusively available in matte black anodized and bears the laser-engraved A60 logo.
The finish is extremely hard, abrasion-resistant, and resistant to stone chipping – perfect for riders who value durability and performance.
5. Used by the best teams in the world
The Excel A60 is the first choice of many factory teams:
- KTM Red Bull Factory Racing
- Husqvarna Factory Racing
- GASGAS Factory Racing / Liqui Moly Team
- Monster Energy Kawasaki
- Yamaha Factory Racing
These teams rely on the A60 because it guarantees absolute stability under the toughest conditions – whether MXGP, AMA Supercross, or WORCS.
6. Who is the A60 the right choice for?
The Excel A60 is aimed at ambitious riders and professionals who:
- want to bring their bike technically to Factory Racing level,
- regularly ride on hard or rocky tracks,
- require maximum stability during jumps and landings,
- and at the same time prefer a precise, direct riding feel.
Whether KTM SX-F / EXC, Husqvarna FC / FE / TC / TE or GASGAS MC / EC / EX – the A60 is available for all common off-road models.
7. Conclusion – Why Excel A60 is the benchmark
More strength, perfect concentricity, exclusive design, and an impressive racing DNA:
The Excel A60 rims are the consistent choice for anyone who wants to get the best out of their motorcycle.
