Discover why the world's leading car and motorbike manufacturers are starting to embrace composite wheel technology and find out how you could be play a part in making it happen via equity crowdfunding platform SyndicateRoom.
2. Alloys will soon be so last century
● They have become increasingly common
across a wide range of vehicles.
● But, leading car and motorcycle
manufacturers look set to change that.
And, here’s why…
3. Lightweight wheels bring benefits
• They’ve long been
known to dramatically
improve handling and
performance.
• That’s why race cars
and motorbikes use
them.
4. But driving experience isn’t everything
• Vehicle manufacturers are under increasing
regulatory pressure to reduce emissions.
• This means “every gram counts” on the
vehicle.

5. How are manufacturers responding?
● They’re now starting to embrace composite
technology in every aspect of vehicle
component design and manufacture.
● Including the wheels…
6. So wheel weight does matter
● The weight of wheels - and tyres - has a
disproportionate impact on vehicle handling,
performance and fuel economy.
● A lighter wheel needs less power to make it
rotate and change direction.
● Therefore smaller engines can be used to
power the vehicle, with less emissions.
7. But which wheel material is lightest?
● Is it:
- Aluminium?
- Carbon Fibre?
- Magnesium?
See if you were right…
8. And the winner is…
● Aluminium – the densest material used for
wheels and carries the most weight.
● Magnesium – less dense than aluminium
and is therefore lighter.
● Carbon Fibre – is the least dense of the
three materials so it is also the lightest.
9. The hi-tech wheel market is growing
Pressure to
reduce
emissions of
petrol/diesel
vehicles
Drive to extend
range of electric
and hybrid
vehicles.

10. BMW may make word ‘alloys’ outdated
● BMW is leading the drive to carbon
composite wheels. AutoExpress says:
“BMW is planning a rollout of the carbon-
fibre technologies developed during the
BMW i3 and i8 project, and the
centrepiece is a set of ultra-light, fully
carbon fibre rims”
11. And Dymag® is leading the way
● British company Dymag® is at the forefront
of composite wheel technology
● The company has developed a new carbon
composite lightweight car wheel and is
supplying prototypes to several leading car
and motorcycle manufacturers.
12. Now, you can get a share in Dymag®
● Dymag® is seeking investment to enable it to
take advantage of the potentially high growth
market for carbon composite lightweight car
and motorcycle wheels.
● Qualified investors can invest in Dymag®
