    Warp 9 ??

    Only a few months without my SuperMoto and I have the itch again I don't have the funds to buy a new bike (tho part of me for some fucked reason wants another late model SXV550) so I was thinking of getting an extra set of wheels for my KTM dirty.
    The question I guess, has anyone here used the Warp 9 SM wheel kits, and how did you like them? Problems? Looking at the price, you can't match the bang for the buck and what you get with the kit. I've followed SMJ for the past month and what few KTM wheel sets come up, either sell instantly or are missing to many expensive parts to make it worth it.
    This is the kit I'm looking at, it'll be $30 more for a 5" rear wheel. All i'll need to do is tires and tubes.

    http://www.ebay.com/itm/WARP-9-RACIN...sories&vxp=mtr

    Any thoughts, comments...or does anyone have a complete KTM SM wheelset with brakes for an 03 and up KTM they want to sell?

    If you look at RAD wheels and like em, I can help... Don't know much about DNA except I would pass on their (F) rotor option.

    I'm not sold on any brand, I just want to stay in that price range...and get everything I need. They are going on my woods bike that is still going to be ridden 90% in the woods, I just want a quick option to have some SM fun.
    It's going to cost me a total of $910.00 for wheels (5" rear), spacers, rear rotor, sprocket, front rotor and front relocation bracket. If you..or whoever it is can help and match that price, I'd rather support local that a west coast ebay store

    I can price it out... that's pretty unbeatable with the components... but their components (sprockets, rotors, etc) are not known to be sought after.

    I bought a set of Warp 9's for the 250x I tarded. They were heavy, but worked well for what I was using them for (just street riding and not all that much of it). I'd buy them again.

    Re: Warp 9 ??

    i stumbled across some stock KTM smc wheels for 700 on CL in NY. 5" rear like you wanted.


    perfect set of SMC black Supermoto wheels off a 2009 KTM 690 SMC. they are clean, straight, and very little time on them. no tires sprockets or brake discs. front is 3.5x17 and rear is 5.0x17
    will fit any newer year ktm 450 525 690 enduro etc... minor scuff from use in pic
    $700 firm

    Re: Warp 9 ??

    I was unsure if the SMC wheels would fit, I thought my dealer mentioned only the offroad EXC/XCW/SX style bikes would fit. It's also a good example of missing all other components. I've seen plenty of wheels only in that price range, but you start buying rotors, sprockets, spacers, calliper brackets, etc, it adds up fast.

    I think I'm gonna go with the Warp 9 kit, it's simple, seems to be OK quality and comes with everything I need

    Re: Warp 9 ??

    I got them, they are on the bike
    Overall, I'm pretty happy for the money. The quality seems better than I was expecting and are a perfect fit. The only issue, the dude sent me the wrong brake caliper relocator. He's express mail it to me, should be here tomorrow! Can't wait to take it for a spin, hopefully tomorrow night.

    Yeah the cyclops is unfitting for such a nice machine. The SSA is sex.

    Negative. The SSA makes up for that 10 fold.

    It was $910 to my door for everything except tires and tubes. I used the tires and tubes off my YZ supermoto wheels, so no extra cost for me on that end.

    After one ride down some dirtroads and trails, you'll realize how important function is over looks when it comes to the front fender. I'll never put a SM fender on a bike again...all they do is look good

    I havn't seen any in my area anyways. It should go pretty good, downsized sprocket on the rear by 6 teeth..and it did have it upto 75 on the pavement in dirt trim

    It should be fun, I can't wait to try it! I just got the new caliper relocator today in the mail, but havn't had a chance to put it on yet

    No, but I'm at the max adjustment now with the SM gearing. I'll see how it is on the road first before i change anything, I still have a 38t rear from the 450SMC I had in 05
