CA5 CARBON FIBER
DYMAG CA5 Production Update
In spite of the major impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, Dymag has recorded strong sales of our motorcycle wheels, especially UP7X forged aluminium road and race wheels for aftermarket and high performance niche OEM motorcycle manufacturers. The UP7X is the wheel of choice for many leading Isle of Man TT and British Superbike teams due to its strong, lightweight, and durable design.
Dymag is fortunate to have the world’s largest back-catalogue of bikes dating back to the 1970s and not just recently released bikes, as evidenced by a significant demand for aftermarket wheels for more classic restoration projects as well as more modern motorcycles. Consequently, we are now looking at adding the UP7X single sided rear to our product range in 2021 for 17” x 5.5” and 6.0” rear wheels.
The newly launched Classic CH3 forged aluminium wheels are gathering momentum, replacing the Classic CH3 magnesium range. The 17” x 3.5” /4.5”/5.0”/5.5” and 6.0” forged CH3 wheels are comparable in weight and remove complications associated with cast magnesium production and will be expanded in 2021 to potentially include 18” wheels, subject to there being sufficient demand.
Operationally, we are currently in the process of integrating our current six manufacturing centres into a large single site at Brunel Park to drive efficiency and allow us to scale up our rapidly expanding carbon automobile business. However, due to the incompatibility of the current manufacturing processes between our carbon and auto wheels, we have reluctantly decided to pause production of the Dymag CA5 carbon motorcycle range, while we undertake the factory re-organisation in 2021.
We will complete all our current orders for shipment before end of February 2021, when the factory move is due to complete, but are not in a position to accept any new order for Carbon CA5 until further notice.
In the longer term, we have an exciting range of new carbon motorcycle wheel products in development, which will become available over the coming 24 months. We will share more details of these product releases and as always welcome feedback on where Dymag should focus new product development in terms of fitments, applications, and technology.
The focus for the next 24 months will be on Dymag’s highly competitive forged aluminium range of lightweight racing specification wheels certified for road use for today’s and future bikes, as well as classic bikes dating back to the 1970s.
We look forward to working with you and supporting your businesses over this exciting period of transformation for Dymag.
