BGM PRO 13 INCH SPORT RIM FOR VESPA GTS 125-300New BGM PRO sport rim for Vespa GTS models. With 13 inch diameter and approved tire sizes up to 140mm width, the rim offers a visual and technical upgrade for all Vespa GTS models. DRIVING CHARACTERISTICSWith 13 inches and tires of 130/60-13 on the front wheel and 140/60-13 on the rear wheel, the handling appears much more confident. MOUNTINGUnlike the rims used ex works, the BGM PRO are identical for front and rear. The BGM PRO rims are manufactured with high precision and therefore do not require balancing.
As the lever is much too long, the mirrors extend a long way outwards, with a negative impact on the visuals. The SIP 'Shorty' mirror provides help here. The ball joint means the mirror head can be adjusted easily and the field of vision is not compromised, despite the shorter lever. The mirror features an E-number and can be used for driving in road traffic without any problem. Conclusion: Those who find the original mirrors unattractive, but who don't want to miss out on the original visuals, should go for the SIP 'Shorty' mirrors.
