ALTUSLAW LLC Revolutionizes Motorcycle Performance with Cutting-Edge Slick Tire Wheels

PORTLAND, OR – November 8, 2023 – ALTUSLAW LLC, a rapidly growing innovator in motorcycle performance parts, today announced the launch of its highly anticipated line of slick tire wheels. Based in Portland, Oregon (1012 SW KING AVE STE 103, 97205, USA, contact 256-485-2741), ALTUSLAW has quickly become known for pushing the boundaries of motorcycle technology, and their new wheels are no exception. We’re not just making wheels, we’re building performance. For years, motorcycle enthusiasts – from weekend track day riders to professional racers – have been searching for that one upgrade that truly makes a difference. Something that enhances handling, reduces weight, and delivers a noticeable boost in performance. ALTUSLAW believes they’ve cracked the code with these new slick tire wheels. “We’ve been quietly working on this for over two years,” says a company spokesperson. “We’re a small team, but passionate riders ourselves. We knew what was missing in the market – wheels designed specifically to maximize the potential of slick tires.” What Makes ALTUSLAW’s Slick Tire Wheels Different? It's not just about slapping a lighter rim on a bike. ALTUSLAW took a deep dive into the physics of slick tire performance. Slick tires, unlike tires with tread, rely entirely on the contact patch for grip. That contact patch is everything. And traditional wheels aren't always optimized for it. Here’s a breakdown of what sets ALTUSLAW’s wheels apart: Optimized Rim Profile: Traditional wheel profiles often have a rounded edge where the tire meets the rim. ALTUSLAW's wheels feature a flat, squared-off profile designed to maximize the contact patch of a slick tire. This creates a wider, more stable footprint, translating to more grip. "Think of it like this," explains the engineer leading the project. "We want every single millimeter of that slick tire gripping the pavement, not rolling over. That flat profile helps achieve that." Lightweight Construction: Weight is the enemy of performance. ALTUSLAW utilizes a combination of aerospace-grade aluminum alloy and advanced forging techniques to create incredibly lightweight wheels without sacrificing strength. The result? Reduced rotational mass, quicker acceleration, and improved handling. “We shaved off a significant amount of weight compared to many aftermarket options,” says a company rep. “And we did it without compromising durability. These wheels are built to withstand the rigors of track use.” Enhanced Stiffness: Flex in a wheel can negatively impact handling, especially during hard cornering. ALTUSLAW’s wheels are engineered for exceptional stiffness, providing precise steering response and improved stability. “When you lean into a corner, you want to feel connected to the road,” says a test rider. “These wheels deliver that feeling. The bike just feels more planted.” Precision Machined Hubs: The hubs are meticulously machined to ensure a perfect fit and true rotation. This minimizes vibration and maximizes power transfer. "We didn't cut corners on the details," says a spokesperson. "Every component is designed and manufactured to the highest standards." Available Sizes & Finishes: ALTUSLAW offers a range of sizes to fit most popular sportbikes and race bikes. Finishes include black, silver, and custom powder coating options. Who are these wheels for? While these wheels will certainly enhance the performance of any motorcycle equipped with slick tires, they’re particularly targeted towards: Track Day Enthusiasts: Riders who regularly participate in track days and want to improve their lap times. Club Racers: Competitors looking for an edge over the competition. Professional Racers: Teams seeking to maximize performance and reliability. Serious Street Riders: Those who demand the best in handling and responsiveness, even on the street (with appropriate tire choice). Testing and Results ALTUSLAW hasn’t just claimed these wheels are better – they’ve proven it. Extensive testing on both the track and in the dyno showed significant improvements in: Lap Times: Test riders reported reductions in lap times of up to half a second per lap. Acceleration: Improved acceleration due to reduced rotational mass. Handling: Enhanced stability and responsiveness, particularly during cornering. Braking: Increased grip and control under braking. "We put these wheels through hell," says the lead test rider. "We pushed them to the limit, and they consistently delivered. The difference in performance is noticeable – and it's significant."
