The Talaria KKE 21/18 wheel set (all-black) is a full-size motocross wheel conversion for the Talaria Sting MX3 — 21″ front + 18″ rear in all-black anodised finish. Direct replacement for the stock 19″/17″ MX3 wheels, opening up access to the standard motocross tyre catalogue (Maxxis, Dunlop, Michelin enduro/MX compounds).
Talaria KKE Wheel Set Build
KKE is one of the most popular budget-spec wheel brands for electric dirt bikes — direct competitor to Warp 9 but with a leaner price point. The 21/18 conversion is the standard motocross wheel size, so any aftermarket MX tyre fits without conversion or adapter. Fitment runs across the Talaria Sting platform, with model-specific notes below.

|---|---|---|
| Talaria Sting MX3 (TL3000-class) | Yes | Direct 21/18 conversion |
| Talaria Sting R MX4 (TL4000) | Verify with installer | May fit with hub-spec verification |

Compared to the Warp 9 18/21 wheel set ($950, SKU 1539), the KKE 21/18 set is $379 — less than half the price. The build quality is slightly lower-end and the rotor/sprocket are NOT included (Warp 9 ships with both). Trade-off: lower price, separate rotor and sprocket purchase required. See the rest of our Talaria parts catalogue for matching components.
Install Notes
Difficulty: Moderate. Tools: axle wrench, torque wrench, tyre irons (if also mounting tyres). Time: 45-60 minutes per wheel. The KKE set ships without rotor or sprocket — transfer from stock wheels or source separately. Balance both wheels before first ride. Re-torque axle hardware after the first hour of riding.
Frequently Asked
KKE vs Warp 9 — which should I buy?
KKE is the budget choice ($379). Warp 9 (SKU 1539, $950) ships complete with rotor and sprocket. If you have a serviceable stock rotor and sprocket to transfer, KKE saves ~$570. If you want a full set with everything, Warp 9 is the right buy.
Will the KKE set fit my Sting R MX4?
Probably yes, but verify hub-bore and axle-width measurements before ordering. Sting MX3 and MX4 use similar hub geometry but the MX4 may have minor differences in disc-offset or sprocket-side spacing.
Are the wheels tubeless-compatible?
No — KKE 21/18 set is tube-type only. You need standard inner tubes (sold separately). Tubeless conversion is not officially supported on these rims.
Trust Signals & Warranty
KKE backs the wheel set against manufacturing defects per their standard warranty. Talaria USA covers a 30-day return window on unmodified parts and ships from our US warehouse in 2-4 business days.
