KTM offer what they call Heavy Duty Wheels (1.85" / 2.5") for the Adventure bikes, which are really just narrower rims.
Have been giving some serious thought to getting a set for my 790 to have more aggressive tyre options as 150/70-18 options are rather limited. The narrow rims will also allow me to run mousses.

Does anyone have any experience with these wheels on their adventure bike?
I'm well aware of how the tyre crowns differently between the wide and narrow rims, the pros and cons of each and would like to discuss actual experience.
