Motorcycle wheels need to be two things for maximum performance—strong and lightweight. Italian wheelmaker Marchesini has long had a reputation for making some amazing—and beautiful—wheels. Sadly, company founder and renowned magnesium master Roberto Marchesini died on September 30, 2020, after a long illness.

Always sad to hear of are passion's great founders passing on. I'm fortunate to have a couple of sets of his wheels.

Was it announced by a spokesman?

Ok, that was tasteless, shame, but the company will hopefully keep production going.
