Paul Smart Replica - the investment you can enjoy while it appreciates

The 36 chromed steel dehydrogenated spokes are equal length and are variable diameter tapering from 5mm at the hub to 4.4 mm at the rim. The technical choice to use 36 spokes keeps un-sprung weight down to a minimum. The wheel hub is made from paint-finished, die-cast aluminium.

In keeping with the SportClassics traditional styling and appeal, the wheels chosen are classic centre-spoke drilled rims, and therefore utilize tube-type tyres.

The tyres themselves, produced specifically for the Ducati SportClassics feature a tread design reflecting that of the 1970’s motorcycles. However, they are made with modern construction techniques and advanced rubber compounds.

Brakes

The front brake system consists of two Brembo floating callipers with 30 and 32 mm diameter pistons which are thermally insulated. The discs are semi-floating with a diameter of 320 mm and thickness of 4 mm.

The spoke wheels made it necessary to use this type of calliper, which is more compact on the side facing the wheel. Unlike the majority of top-end braking systems, which use organic pads, the callipers mounted on this new family of motorcycles use sintered pads that ensure high braking performance.

The rear brake system consists of a floating single piston Brembo brake calliper and a 245 mm disc.
