Wheel exchange - Gravity Storm_imp - 09-13-2017
New to the site, so I am not going to ask an oil question. I have just purchased a 2017 and I am not a fan of spoked wheels/tube type tires.
Does anyone know if the cast wheels of previous years can be fitted with out much trouble?
Thanks for any help.

My guess is they are a direct swap. You probably won't have much trouble finding someone on here (maybe even local to you) to exchange with.

The '13's rear axle is larger than the '14s and up. Part numbers were the same for the 13 and 14 front axles when I looked a few weeks ago.
So try to find someone with a 14 to swap with. And maybe check a parts diagram to be sure.
Oh, yeah, Welcome from Va. Beach!

Didn't Honda reduce the rear axle diameter on the 2014 models? If so a 2013 rear wheel might not be a direct swap.
You read my mind popgun.... strong with the force you are!

I too would prefer tubeless wheels but besides the wheels itself you also have to think about the brake set up.
Have been looking for mag wheels for the 2017 in Japan but so far no luck.

Doesn't the '17 model have 17" wheels? Might be clearance issues.

No , the 2017 still has 18 inch wheels , only the RS has the 17 inch wheels.

Gravity Storm if you make the swap by all means post a picture, would love to see what it looks like.

Don't let this question hijack the thread...but why did Honda reduce the axle size on the 14's?
