Perfect concentricity for your Vespa GTS - how the bgm PRO complete wheels are made

Vibrations on the handlebars or a bumpy chassis at high speeds? This is often due to poorly balanced tires. In our new video, Roland from the technical department gives us a look behind the scenes and shows Andreas how much manual work and precision goes into a bgm PRO complete wheel is involved.

Why "balancing" instead of balancing?

With Scooter Center we go one step further. Before tires and bgm rim come together, both components are are balanced separately.

• The tire: The heaviest part of the tire is marked.

• The rim: The rim (including the valve!) also has a heaviest point.

The trick: Roland mounts the tire in such a way that the heaviest points of the rim and tire are opposite each other. This means that the imbalances neutralize each other almost completely.

Precision down to the gram

After mounting, the wheel is fine-tuned on the balancing stand. You can see in the video, that the previous balancing often means that only minimal weights are are necessary. The result is extremely vibration-free running, which makes the decisive difference in riding comfort, especially with the powerful Vespa GTS.
