Two ways to get a Warp 9 wheel
Every Warp 9 wheel starts with the same parts: a forged 6061-T6 aluminum hub machined for your bike, a 7000-series aluminum rim, and stainless steel spokes and nipples, laced and trued in Salt Lake City, Utah. The only question is whether you pick each piece yourself or take one we have already built.

Anatomy of a Warp 9 wheel
These are the pieces you choose in the builder and the same pieces we stock as replacements, blown apart so you can see every one. Run your mouse over a card and that part lights up on the wheel.
The hoop the tire seats on. Standard rims are 7000-series aluminum; Elite rims step up to 7050 for the hardest hits.
You choose: Size by bike and discipline (MX 21, 19 and 18; Supermoto 17 and 16.5; e-moto 16 to 21; forged Stiletto, Switch or Rogue). Anodized or powder-coated. Black, Silver and Matte Black at no extra charge.
Carry the load between hub and rim. Laced by hand and brought up to tension one spoke at a time.
You choose: Stainless in eleven colors, or titanium at about half the weight of stainless (roughly 0.5 lb saved per wheel).
Thread onto each spoke at the rim and set the tension. They are what gets turned when a wheel is trued.
You choose: Match the spokes, match the hub, or contrast.
The heart of the wheel. Forged, then CNC-machined for your bike's axle and brake, with six pockets that take the cush rubbers. Bearings and seals are pressed in before it ships.
You choose: Standard (direct-drive) or cush-drive rear; model-specific fitment; nine anodized colors.
Sit in the hub pockets between the hub and the sprocket carrier and soak up drivetrain shock, so the chain, sprocket and hub live longer and the ride is smoother.
You choose: Included with every cush-drive hub.
Cush-drive hubsBolts through the cush rubbers and carries the rear sprocket, so the sprocket drives the wheel through the dampers instead of straight into the hub.
You choose: Carrier with sprocket is included on Supermoto builds and optional on E-Moto and MX cush builds; color matched to the hub.
Shop sprocketsTurns chain pull into drive. Pick the tooth count for your gearing.
You choose: 38 to 53 teeth on gas bikes, up to 64 on e-moto.
Shop sprocketsSix bolts clamp the sprocket to the carrier.
You choose: Standard steel, or titanium to save weight and shrug off corrosion.
Shop titanium hardwareBolts to the hub and gives the caliper something to bite. Sized to your bike and discipline.
You choose: Wave rotors for MX and Enduro; 320 mm fixed or floating for Supermoto; 203 to 240 mm for e-moto. Standard or titanium rotor bolts.
Shop rotorsA sealed wheel bearing sits in each side of the hub with a seal outboard of it to keep grit out. Every hub ships with them pressed in.
You choose: Replacement bearing and seal kits for every hub we make.
Shop bearingsThe tube between the two bearings inside the hub. It takes the clamping load of the axle nut so the bearings are never side-loaded.
You choose: Included with every hub and matched to it and your axle.
Shop hubsA rim lock stops the tire creeping on the rim under hard braking and low pressure; the valve stem is where a tubeless setup shows its color. Not shown in the exploded view.
You choose: Rim lock yes or no (added automatically when we mount a tire); a tire mounted before shipping from a short list of MX and street tires; tubeless conversion with a colored valve stem on Supermoto and e-moto builds.
How a custom build works
Four steps, no guesswork. The builder only offers parts that fit the bike you pick, and the price updates live as you add options.
Choose make, model and year. The builder only offers rim sizes, hubs and rotors that fit it.
Rim size and type, hub style, spoke and nipple colors, rotor, sprocket, rim lock and tire. The price updates live as you go.
Your hub is matched to your axle and brake, then the wheel is laced, tensioned and trued in our Salt Lake City shop.
Tire mounted if you chose one. Tracking arrives by email; most builds leave in 2 to 4 weeks.

Straight answers
If one of our in-stock wheels fits your bike and you like the color combination, it is the faster route: the wheel is already laced and trued. If you want a specific color on the rim, hub, spokes or nipples, a cush-drive hub, a particular rotor or sprocket, or you ride something we do not stock a wheel for, use the builder. Both use the same hubs, rims, spokes and nipples.
Hubs are forged from 6061-T6 aluminum and CNC-machined for each bike. Standard rims are 7000-series aluminum; Elite rims are 7050. Spokes and nipples are stainless steel, with titanium spokes available. Rims and hubs are anodized or powder-coated, and every hub ships with sealed bearings and seals installed.
MX/Enduro, Supermoto and E-Moto builds average 2 to 4 weeks from order to shipping. Tubeless Forged wheels average 5 to 8 weeks. Peak seasons run longer. In-stock parts ship in 1 to 3 business days and in-stock wheels typically ship within 1 to 3 weeks.
Rims come in 20 colors across the product lines, hubs in 9, spokes in 11 (including titanium) and nipples in 9. Valve stems on tubeless builds come in 9. Anodized shades vary slightly between batches because of the dye, voltage, temperature and time involved, and they read differently under different light, so two anodized parts may not be an exact match.
Standard rims are 7000-series aluminum. Elite rims use 7050 aluminum for extra strength on the hardest-hit sizes. Some sizes are Elite only, including 21x1.85, 18x2.50, 19x2.50, 19x3.00 and the 17x2.50 OEM size, and the builder switches to Elite for you.
Powder coat is a paint layer baked onto the part, much like automotive powder coat. Anodizing changes the surface of the aluminum itself, so the finish is part of the metal. Anodized Black, Silver and Matte Black come at no extra charge; other colors are shown live in the builder.
Bearings and seals are always installed in the hub. Rotors, sprockets, carriers, rim locks and tires are options you add in the builder, and they arrive fitted. In-stock wheels list exactly what is included in the product title and description, for example rear wheels with rotor and sprocket.
A cush drive puts rubber dampers between the sprocket carrier and the hub to soak up drivetrain shock and vibration. A direct-drive hub has no dampers, so power transfer is more direct. Cush drive is offered on Supermoto and Tubeless Forged rears and on selected MX builds.
In the builder, pick your make, model and year and it only offers hubs, rim sizes and rotors that fit. Every in-stock wheel lists its fitment on the product page. If your bike is not listed, call (801) 699-7979 or email sales@warp9racing.com and we will check it.
Our repair program covers actual damage rather than cosmetic wear. Send the wheel back with $60 and we replace broken spokes, hubs or rotors; bent rims are repaired for $100 (MX) or $125 (Supermoto). You cover shipping, and the wheel needs to arrive clean. Details are in the Repair Policy.
Returns must start within 60 days of purchase with the product unused and in its original packaging. Custom wheels carry a 15% cancellation fee and other parts 10%. Changes to a custom order requested more than 24 hours after purchase may incur a fee. See the Return Policy.
