The 2014-later 17" "Impeller" is one wheel I haven't weighed yet

Wow, they all seem to be within a pound of each other. My new 17x3 Impeller wheel feels so much lighter, by the seat of my pants, than the 17x3 knuckles I removed. The impeller feels so much lighter in the steering than the Knuckles. It was immediately noticeable, almost felt like the front end was floating. The tire pressure was set at 36lbs.
Wish you would have had a chance to weigh the impeller, very curious of the results.

I guess I should rephrase..."I don't have a 17" Impeller presently to weigh"

I'll update Thread when and if that changes

My stock front rim and tire w/o rotors on my old 2013 RK weighed 38 Ibs when I sold it and had to ship it.

Streetrunner, If you weigh your whole bike now and then weigh your whole bike after you put the "Knuckles" back on and subtract the difference...then that's what a 17" Impeller weighs



And then tell me what that is
