    If you're still considering, I'm interested. (2022 V2S)

    Thanks for your response. Did you find the 21-22 wheels to be a direct swap on the 950, or were any additional work or parts required.

    I think they were a direct swap.
    I wanted a 950S in stead of a V2S, i think the 950S is a better looking bike than the V2S.
    My dealer only had a new 950S with spoked wheels in stock, next to the even newer V2S.
    I told him that i wanted to buy the 950S but only if he could do something about the wheels.
    He offered to swap the spoked wheels for the V2S cast wheels and that the spoked wheels for the V2S would be the same as for the 950S, so it was no issue.

    Two weeks after i collected my new 950S the dealer sold the V2S to a happy customer, with the spoked wheels.

    Hi, what was the reason for the swap? Looks and/or technical reason(s)?

    I didn't like the look of the spoked wheels, especially the spoke heads that are visible in the rim edge next to the tire.
    The fact that the cast wheels are lighter in weight helps too.
