- Awarded
- Lightweight, high-rigidity aluminum wheels
- These cast aluminum wheels for a sport Leaning Multi-Wheel (LMW)* model feature both light weight and high rigidity achieved through finite element analysis (FEA), which enables more realistic modeling, mid-cast solidification analysis to increase strength and resistance to pressure, and other engineering processes.
*Yamaha Motor’s designation for vehicles with three or more wheels that can lean through turns like a motorcycle. - Recipient(s)
