Dymag UP7X Wheels: Lightweight Performance Without Sacrificing Strength
Reducing wheel weight is one of those upgrades you can feel everywhere—acceleration, braking, handling, and suspension response. The Dymag UP7X forged aluminum wheel combines exceptionally low weight with the strength and durability needed for serious street and race applications.
Available from Orient Express Racing, the UP7X is one of Dymag’s lightest forged aluminum motorcycle wheels, engineered to reduce both unsprung and rotational mass while maintaining the rugged construction the brand is known for.
Less Weight. Better Performance.
The UP7X features a distinctive seven U-shaped spoke design engineered for increased stiffness and strength. Dymag uses CAD/CAM optimization throughout the wheel, including lightening holes in each spoke, to remove unnecessary material without compromising structural integrity.
The result is a wheel that can make a noticeable difference in how a motorcycle performs. Reducing rotating and unsprung weight helps improve acceleration, handling, braking response, and suspension performance while also reducing the wheel’s Moment of Inertia (MOI) by up to 10%.

How Light Are They?

Front: 3.36 kg (7.40 lb)
Rear: 5.62 kg (12.38 lb)
Actual wheel weights will vary depending on motorcycle fitment.
Make Them Your Own
Standard UP7X finishes include Matte Black, Gloss Black, White, Gold, and Gunmetal Grey.
For riders looking for something different, Dymag also offers custom finishes including Chartreuse Yellow, Luminous Orange, Candy Blue, Fluorescent Green, Sovereign Silver, and custom color matching using supplied RAL or Pantone color codes.
Take It One Step Further
An optional Worldwide Bearings hybrid ceramic wheel bearing upgrade is also available. These low-friction bearings help reduce rolling resistance and drag, making them a natural addition for racers looking to maximize the performance advantage of a lightweight wheel package.
Orient Express Racing keeps popular UP7X sizes and applications in stock for immediate U.S. shipment. Other configurations can be custom ordered directly from the U.K., with typical delivery of approximately four to six weeks.
If you’re looking to remove weight where it matters most while upgrading the appearance and performance of your motorcycle, the Dymag UP7X delivers race-proven lightweight performance without sacrificing strength.
