2021 V85 TT

I feel like the Ducati Multistrada Enduro used a similar wheel design.
When I saw it in the shop I though the rims stuck out past the tires a bit, but it could have just been perspective.

It appears that the 2021 V85TT and the Multistrada Enduro have the same spoking pattern as BMW 1200/1250 GS;  perhaps the patents expired.
It is a crossed spoke pattern; the spokes from the right hub flange go to the left side of the rim and vice versa.

It does seem BMW & Ducati have same wheels.

Meanwhile the rest of the spoke tubeless wheels folds are doing their own things



Edit: Can't tell About Guzzi...doesn't look the same to me...

Edit Edit: have another look, guess it does look similar

I can't imagine them getting much more power out of that engine unless they up the revs, which IMHO would rather miss the whole point of the bike .  If I wanted to run at 14,000 RPM, I get an S1100RR.  But...

...I want a set of those wheels!

I've often thought whether with all the MotoGP manufacturers investment in working out frame flex to suit changes in tyre technology if the spoke wheel will make a come back to MotoGP. Imagine a spoke wheel with Titanium spokes and rim and magnesium hubs. You could fit differently "tuned" wheels for required flex depending on track conditions. Building them to deal with the loads and power wouldn't be an issue. You read it here first if it ever happens.
