HAAN "FACTORY" RALLY WHEEL ASSEMBLY

Yamaha's Factory Dakar Effort purchased the exact same wheels just like you can from DIRTBIKE PTY LTD !!

Used in Australia by Factory Teams such as GHR Honda and leading privateers to win the Australian Safari / Condo 750 / A4DE / AORC / Finke / Hattah Outright !!

Used by 50% of world MX teams 

Ok so what is the XR 650 R Rally Wheel Set. This wheel set is quite simply the strongest combo possible for the XR 650 R. We start with the HAAN cush drive rear hub and then lace that to the Excell Takasako Rim with the best spokes made from Haan. Sounds simple but why buy them from Dirtbike Pty Ltd

Dirtbike Pty Ltd is also owned by myself Glenn Hoffmann which was resposible for the GHR Honda victories at Finke / Australian Safari / Condo 750 . GHR Honda had many rental bikes also at these events and two successful campaigns at Dakar using what I call the Rally wheels.

For the XR 650 R we use a different 21" front size and 18" rear size than Standard. This is the ultimate set up should you want to use tyres more suited to offroad use and mousse, you can of course use traditional tyres and Heavy Duty tubes if you like also no problem.

The advantage of the Rally Rim is it is much more reliable than even a normal excell purchased from other vendors. 300,000km with riders like Grabbo and the Smith boys have taught us what combo works best and no rider has ever suffered a wheel failure on our Rally Wheels and no they are not A 60's. You are welcome to phone and I will discuss the difference in person.

For the XR 650 R you will need a dedicated spacer kit and the front wheel trued to suit either a Standard Fork or CRF front end which is becoming common mod on this bike. The front brake will need to use one of our XR 650 R Front disc set ups either standard size or the oversize 285 mm kit. This kit allows a speedo cable to be screwed into the caliper bracket for use at Rallys like Condo / Sunraysia Safari or simple a good way to set up your digital trip meter.​

The rear hub we use will also require a new disc with our bolt pattern and spacer kit. Any XR sprockets you have will fit on this hub no problem a standard CRF wheel does not go in as the widths are different to the 650 although axle diameter is the same.

Other Rally wheel mods can include grease nipples kit which allow you to inject mousse gel into the rear wheel and tyre externally. Another GHR first. This allows you to extend the life of the tyre and mousse considerably. GHR Hondas have logged over 300,000 km on these rims with mousse and never suffered a failed mousse or Rim that was unrideable. Michelin make three different rear mousse in 18" and Excell alone make 5 different 18" rims that other vendors may try to sell you. Only one of the mousse is suitable for long distance racing or trailriding and then matched to the correct rim size and crown. YES excell have different crowns in this size which make fitting tyres and mousse more difficult if you get the wrong combo. On top of that you then need to run the correct tyre to match the mousse and rim.

With the correct rear rim size and crown matched to the correct tyre and Mousse GHR has never suffered a rear wheel failure or mousse failure in a event which has caused a DNF for either a lead rider or customer. In fact Gary Gray from Cobar won a competition with ADB to ride a GHR Honda XR 650 R on Safari. He Completed the entire event 4,500km on one rear tyre and Mousse. Never changed , fact!!
