ABE, wheel assembly and instructions for mounting the MK II rim

The SIP safety standard for the development of new rim types includes load tests and official approval by the Federal Motor Transport Authority (KBA). Of course, our MK II rim also complies with the latest guidelines. Successful testing in accordance with German standards (StVZO) led to recognition by the KBA in the form of a general operating permit (ABE) for use as a front wheel. But SIP has also tested further and ensured that the rim also meets the requirements of other international standards, such as those of Japan, as a rear wheel. Our pre-mounted wheel assemblies with SIP PERFORMANCE tyres offer complete comfort and ease of use. They are optionally available with tyres of widths 120 and 130.

The MK II rim can be mounted both front and rear—theoretically, all tyres up to 140 mm wide fit. Vehicles with ABS must be calibrated after a tyre change; please refer to the vehicle operating instructions.

The rim is approved for the following tyre sizes: 120/70-12 or optionally 130/70-12.

Note: Changing the tyre size slightly changes the vehicle's transmission ratio, which ultimately results in a deviation on the speedometer display. The difference between 120/70-12 and 130/70-12 is about 3 %, which is within the permissible tolerance. With the SIP speedometers/rev counters, the gear ratio can be adjusted to the exact wheel circumference.
