High Tech Design

The unique BST 5-spoke carbon composite wheel is made using the latest technology, materials and manufacturing processes. This lightweight and exceedingly strong wheel is suitable for both racing and street racing use. The wheels have been tested at Rim Technology (UK government certified facility), and passed all the tests for road certification. And most important of all, our wheels are unique in that they are created as a single unit - we don't bond pieces together.

Benefits of Carbon Fiber Wheels

These wheels are up to 30% lighter than most of todays advanced racing wheels, and even more significantly lighter than the standard production wheels. Since the weight saving comes from the spokes and the rim, the mass of the wheel is concentrated in the hub to the benefit of rotational inertia.

Because the wheels offer a substantial reduction in flywheel and gyroscopic effects, the motorcycle can accelerate, corner and brake faster. In particular, the reduced gyroscopic effect allows for faster directional changes, which makes the motorcycle far more sensitive to the riders demands.
