JC Pak bikes the Alpina wheel dealer in the US was told by BMW at the Italian bike show the wheels are exactly the same as the R1200R wheels would this be correct guys? The reason I'm asking the Alpina dealer here in
the UK told me there were no wheels for the R9T as yet


If that's the case Alpina make wheels for the R1200R so happy days!! Carbon Matrix mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

I contacted alpina recently and they said they had no fitment at present for the 9T because of the R1000rr forks but they will be making rims for the 9T shortly

So that's the snag A well will just wait until the tyres are done and change then, so that will be next year sometime they should be out by then you would think, my bike doesn't arrive until June, I'm sure I'll see a set fitted on the forum not long after there available.

Any tail tidy's out there that keep the original lights and indicators yet???

Those carbon alpina's are simply stunning!

 

[Gogs]

There on the list eventually carbon rims, black spokes and hubs, gold nipples

wont they have the same issues with leaking air through spoke holes, still needs either tubes or rim-seal-kit. Plus, they're too close to what the 9T already comes with. Why not go for tubeless rims altogether?

Alpina wheels are tubeless spoked rims Huntsman.

I looked into ordering a set delivered to Australia from the US dealer. I haven't due to the dealer insisting that the R1200R wheels are the same... not the case according to all other sources.

They quoted $3055 retail price shipped for the carbon matrix. I will definitely be investing in a set when they have a model to fit the 9T. Only problem is deciding whether to go all gold or black and gold split... also black hubs or gold hubs...decisions, decisions!

Here is a update from the german reseller..


I ask the technical from alpina.*


Good news! The have checkt all the part numbers of hub, bolts and so on. Is all the same as the R1200R, so they told me this must fit. But to be shure they will test it on a nine-T. This is a very quick test, so i can let you know asap!


I let you know!!!!

I hope they give you pictures of them fitted and confirm they are exactly the same as the R1200R wheels, I would like to see them fitted to the bike!

I mostly love the looks of the R9T, but have not purchased one...yet. One of my nit-picks is that if they wanted to create a "retro"-looking bike, BMW should have gone with a 19" rim on the front wheel. And if they did that...hey, just use the spoked tubeless wheels from the GS! They already exist, shouldn't be a big deal to fit them to this new bike, & we could have our spoked tubeless wheels in the "correct" size for bike which is supposed to harken to the classic looks of bikes from back in the day. (Personally, I will never buy a bike with tube-type wheels, as I consider them simply not up to par either in terms of safety or convenience of repair.) So, until BMW offers tubeless-type spoked wheels on the R9T, & a few other things (luggage!), I will stick with my GS.
