BST wheels are now the standard against which all others are judged for strength, durability and lightness, for both road and race use. Manufactured in a single moulding operation using a unique aerospace process to produce a wheel that is far stronger than any standard or magnesium wheel, but much lighter too. With BST you can be sure you will have a product which is the result of decades of research, development, testing and certification by industry bodies, including TUV.
| "It's hard to describe just how beneficial the new rims are to the bike's handling performance. I'd heard people say about the difference lighter wheels make to the way a bike rides, but now I know first hand that those people's words are not just hype. I'm not the fastest rider out there, but even I can tell how much quicker the R1's nose wants to jump into corners. You feel the benefit even more on longer drags, when you have an abundance of corners to tackle. The whole bike's just so much more agile. It's awesome." |
| "I recently received my Matt BST Carbon Fibre wheels for my R1 and had them fitted a couple of weeks back and just wanted to give you some feedback. First off I was very pleased with the packaging and all the documentation that came with the wheels as straight away I could see that care and attention had gone in to assembling all the parts etc. ...The matt finish on them is well worth the extra money as it sets them apart and better still, I knew these would go very well with my R1. The next thing I noted was the weight compared to OEM. I just had to weigh them and using my bathroom scales I established that both wheels with the sprocket and carriers fitted weigh in at just 8KGs!!! That's insanely light! |
| "I
tested the BMW S1000 RR and thought it was useless by comparison to the
09 R1. Granted - yes it handles well and feels light, but the engine is
just nothing like the R1 at low revs. quite honestly you could not use
the power of the BMW when it eventually kicks in. The test for me was
having spent 3 hrs on the BMW, how did the R1 feel when I got back on
it? Better than ever ! Rode home like a **** and loved every minute of
it. Stick a set of BSTs on a 2010 R1 and you won't regret
it." |
| "Best
mod I made on my R1. Feels like a 600."
