Over 900 spoke set configurations - and still counting
Leading international spoke set manufacturer Cross-Center in Sweden has told IDN that the company has passed another landmark in the growth of its inventory with the 900th model- specific spoke set configuration added to its database.
The most recent were #50-0913 and #50-0914 for the 2016 Triumph Bonneville Bobber. With over 1,000,000,000 registered motorcycles in the world, and most of them using spoked wheels, owner and 'Wheel Meister' extraordinaire 'Tobbe' Bergh told IDN that "of all the sectors of the market, I think ours is still a growth market and the demand we are seeing just continues to increase - we expect 2024 to be a tenth year of consecutive growth for us."
Manufactured in-house using high-quality Swedish steel and shipped worldwide, in addition to spoke sets for (at least) 57 different brands and more than 5,000 different models, Cross-Center is also a wheel builder, and through its 'CC Products' brand also makes and sells motocross and enduro racing parts.
"From a distributor perspective, we are a great business to work with, because we always carry a deep inventory. We are the world's 'Rapid Responders' where the motorcycle wheel industry is concerned.
"We can turn orders around on a same day basis sometimes, because once we have put a spoke configuration on the shelf for the first time, we can repeat manufacture very quickly, which is the kind of service level that distributors and dealers need."
