Does anybody have reliable measures of the weight of each of the OEM front (without rotors) and rear forged wheels? (S & R models, any Panigale)
The closest I've come is an estimate of 16 lbs. for another model of Forged Marchensini wheels, with no specifics to how much is associated with the front or rear wheel.
Thanks for your consideration.

Thank you Chris 16!
FYI: kg to lbs. conversion: Rear 4.17 KG = 9.19 lbs.; Front: 2.85 kg = 6.28 lbs.

In case anybody is wondering, the BST Rapid Tek wheels knock off about 4.15 lbs of rotating mass compared to the forged Marchensini wheels (mostly at the rim, where it counts) .
Front BST is 5.2 lbs; rear is 6.15.

Remember the big debate we had years ago, on hitting a curb/pothole? The mag bends, the BST shatters -- but it boils done to aesthetics, as both weights are similar.
 
I’ve had a set on my triumph speed triple for 11 years and 35,000 miles. They are solid. [emoji106]
And 4 lbs of rotating mass at the rim is HUGE; they are a little less/about the same as magnesium wheels, but with a longer lifespan. They will outlast the bike.
Besides, this is a track only bike; no pot holes.

Just mounted slicks on the 2020 V4S, and weighed the rear OEM forged Marchesini.

^Crazy! I was watching Jared Campesi on his Streetfighter build thread and his Forged Magnesium Rear was around 7 Lbs?

BST Carbon rear wheel 5lbs Front 6lbs:

Whenever I see his vids, they seem like a really nice couple. I always end up feel slightly weirded out over the strange mix of pretty basic bolt on tech info and the pimping out of his GF's bod for them sweet clicks
 
Great video...

Bikini model would go for a guy that says the rear wheel only has one bearing in it cuz of sssw and picks 4 over 4.9 when everyone else is 5 n up

Smoked
