Reinventing the wheel since 1974

DYMAG IS AN ELITE, BRITISH WHEEL DESIGN AND MANUFACTURER WITH AN UNPARALLELED HISTORY OF INNOVATION AND TECHNOLOGY IN MOTORSPORT.

Leading the way in wheel design and production for over four decades, we pioneered the manufacture of carbon hybrid automotive and monobloc motorcycle wheels, for racing and road use.

Today, Dymag Performance Wheels offer a range of carbon, magnesium and alloy wheels for motorcycle racing and road use, as well as our latest creation, the patented BOXSTROM® carbon composite automotive wheel.

Named in honour of Dymag’s founder Max Boxstrom. The BOXSTROM® carbon barrel, ensures load path optimisation (removing stress raisers) and utilises a sacrificial layer to protect the load path. This is teamed with a high specification forged aluminium centrepiece. The result is a wheel that is up to 40% lighter than forged aluminium and with a 40% lower moment of inertia, improving all elements of driving performance.

Drivers will experience faster acceleration, sharper braking, as well as vastly superior road handling; all without compromising safety.

Already a huge hit with many leading car manufacturers, the BOXSTROM® is available to the aftermarket as the 7Y and 7X, combining exceptional performance benefits with stunning design. Dymag is expanding into the US aftermarket via a strategic partnership with ADV.1, a subsidiary of the WELD Racing, LLC., and leader in aftermarket performance wheels.

DYMAG – LEADING THE WORLD IN WHEEL INNOVATION AND PERFORMANCE

Dymag is a company with its heritage firmly rooted in racing. From the early 1970’s, we quickly established a reputation for pioneering innovation with die-cast magnesium wheels for major F1 and Indy car teams and their drivers as well as inventing the world’s first 3-spoke magnesium motorcycle racing wheel.

Dymag was the first company in the world to manufacture carbon composite wheels for both high performance motorcycles and cars certified for road and race use. Uniquely, Dymag manufactures lightweight wheels in high quality forged magnesium, aluminium and lightweight carbon composites. We believe no other company has the capability and technology to do this.

The new BOXSTROM® carbon barrel and

BOXSTROM® 7X and 7Y carbon hybrid wheels, named in memory of our founder Max Boxstrom, are the latest and arguably most exciting development in Dymag’s long history of innovation.

LOW MOMENT OF INERTIA

All Dymag wheels are born from the same meticulous design process, including a thorough engineering & optimisation phase where all unnecessary material (where durability will not be impacted) is carved away.

The result is a range of wheels with a super low moment of inertia (MOI). Design for low MOI reduces the amount of energy required to overcome inertia resulting in vastly improved acceleration, braking & directional changes; a low MOI offers supreme handling.

LIGHT WEIGHT

The light weight nature of all Dymag wheels utilising low density materials offers a huge reduction over original equipment (OE) wheels. Newton told us that a force acting on a body of lower mass (Dymag wheels) will accelerate faster than the competition. We trust Newton.

STATE OF THE ART TECHNOLOGY

The resolution that Dymag has become known for drives our technology, including the design & development of the BOXSTROM® Barrel and Carbon Hybrid Wheels.

Lower unsprung weight reduces:

The effect of bumps on handling The vibrations felt from the road

Bouncing and hopping of the car over uneven surfaces

MOMENT OF INERTIA

UNSPRUNG WEIGHT

Less energy to accelerate and slow down wheels

Has an exponential impact as size of wheel increases

In short - the bigger the wheels, the greater the relative benefit of lightweight carbon barrels vs. other materials

50 Provenance of Technology & Innovation

The first carbon composite wheels developed by Dymag were 3 spoke motorcycle wheels, which went on to be used by the Phase One Kawasaki Endurance Team in 1996, winning the World Endurance Championship that year.

The company also produced a range of 2 piece carbon wheels with magnesium spokes for Ducati Performance, and the aftermarket, before moving onto the hugely popular one piece CA5, which has been supplied to many racing and aftermarket customers during the past 10 years. There were even wire spoke carbon motorcycle wheels for the Ducati Monster and KTM Superduke.

In 2004 Dymag launched the 9 spoke Dymag Carbon Composite wheel, based on a hybrid design, initially with magnesium and later with a forged aluminium spoke system.

Dymag Carbon Hybrid Wheels were used on a wide range of applications and OEM fitments to the Koenigsegg CCX, Mosler and other niche sports car manufacturers.

Over 10 years later, the BOXSTROM® represents the next generation in composite wheel technology, the lightest, stiffest and strongest carbon wheel ever made by Dymag.

DYMAG LEAD THE WORLD ON AUTO AND MOTO CARBON WHEELS

Dymag began developing carbon composite motorcycle wheels in 1994, designed to meet the fatigue and durability standards for street use in aftermarket and racing, unlike any carbon wheels that had gone before.

60 Leader in Carbon Composite Wheels



DYMAG - LEADING THE WORLD IN WHEEL INNOVATION AND PERFORMANCE

The Dymag BOXSTROM® Carbon Hybrid Wheel offers many technical advantages: • Typically 40% lighter than standard cast aluminium wheels• Typically 25% lighter than equivalent OEM forged aluminium wheels, tested to the same OEM standards • 30% to 40% lower moment of inertia than aluminium cast and forged wheels

The BOXSTROM® is stronger than any carbon wheel ever made by Dymag: • The BOXSTROM® barrel successfully achieved over 2.5 million cycles on radial fatigue testing at loads

up to 1,913kg. That’s close to three times as much load as a wheel experiences from the corner of a typical passenger vehicle

• The 20 inch barrel is tested and certified to be used for static vehicle loads of over 750kg per vehicle corner

The BOXSTROM® is stiffer than any carbon wheel ever made by Dymag.

In impact testing (that simulates lateral kerbing and driving over a kerb) the BOXSTROM® wheel fully meets SAE testing standards.

The BOXSTROM® range of barrels and wheels is constantly expanding in sizes from 16” to 24”.

OUR WORK WITH OEMS

In recent years, the entire automotive industry has aggressively embraced the light-weighting of vehicles, not only to improve handling performance, but also to reduce hydrocarbon emissions and extend electric vehicle range. Accordingly, world leading engineers and designers have placed Dymag’s lightweight, but highly durable BOXSTROM® wheels, very high on their list of components. This applies as much to a large family SUV or luxury car as a lightweight supercar. Dymag is working with leading OEMs across the world, including BAC and its extraordinary Mono supercar since 2016.
