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 use. The BST wheels are stronger than aluminum or magnesium wheels.

Don't confuse these wheels with the first generation carbon wheels or simple carbon fenders that you see. BST wheels are all one piece pre-preg construction. They are "cooked " in an autoclave for over four hours under 6 bar of pressure.The wheels have been tested at Rim Technology (UK government certified facility), and passed all the tests for road certification (JWL, TUV and DOT). And most important of all, the BST wheels are unique in that they are created as a single unit - they don't bond pieces together.

Features:

· 5-spoke design · Aerospace FAR25 qualified materials

· Manufacturing facility is ISO 9002 certified by the German TUV

· Complete traceability in manufacturing process and materials used including the hubs

· Manufacturing process allows for full identification and traceability (based on the process used for critical parts in the aerospace industry)

· All wheels leaving the factory will be bar coded for easy identification and full traceability

· Nesting and cutting machines are the same as those used in the aerospace industry - each wheel pattern is cut and the part is numbered simultaneously guaranteeing correctness and uniformity

· Wheels passed all tests for road certification carried out by Rim Technology (UK government certified facility)

· Corner fatigue carried out as specified in BS. AU. 50.

· Radial fatigue carried out as specified in BS. AU. 50.

· Torsional fatigue carried out as specified in BS. AU. 50.

· JWL and DOT-E certification

· Approved by CCS and WERA for racing

Benefits of Carbon Fiber wheels:

Lower unsprung mass

Lower rotational inertia resulting in quick and responsive steering - less driver fatigue

High strength to weight ratio

Longer product life - carbon fiber is a fatigue-free material Carbon fiber composite is a damage tolerant material Carbon fiber is corrosion-free Attractive woven finish gives the wheels a killer look.

BST 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 our 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. You will find yourself riding faster or farther with less effort.

 The SECRET WEAPON: Club racers in Europe are fitting BST CF wheels on their 600cc bikes and competing with 1000cc bikes.

Typical weights (748-998):

Street CF Wheels (including 6000 series alloy hub, stainless steel fittings with bearings): Front: 4.62 lbs; Rear: 5.94 lbs.

Race Only CF Wheels with 7000 series alloy hubs  including 7000 series alloy hub, lighter wheel, titanium fittings with bearings : Front: 4.4 lbs; Rear: 5.28 lbs Sizes:

The BST wheels are among the strongest on the market (at the Munich Intermot show, BST representatives bounced the wheels on the ground thoughout the duration of Intermot to show they can take it!) But accidents can happen, and since none of the wheel manufacturers offer any type of road hazard insurance, Motowheels will offer replacement wheels at a substantail discount on any wheels purchased from us.
