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.

"Non-believers say carbon wheels can't possibly make any difference on the road, but I couldn't disagree more. These BSTs have a tangibly positive impact on every mile you ride, even on the motorway. Of course there's the improvement they make to handling, but the benefits don't stop there. Mid-range delivery rolling on in 4th, 5th and 6th is massively improved as the engine has less inertia to conquer, and you need less gearbox-dancing for overtakes. They're durable, the finish doesn't tarnish, and I love how subtle they are." Richard Newland - Senior Editor, MCN Ducati 899 Panigale Read the full article here. |

"...the difference in ride quality on the road and track is marked. At speed the light wheels make the bike feel lighter and easier to turn. They give you an improved feeling for what the tyres are doing, which in turn gives you the confidence to lean further and carry more corner speed."
"Within just a couple of corners it's crystal clear the carbon wheels make a big difference. Suddenly the 899 is even easier to get around the track and you can feel the tyres digging their claws into the tarmac even deeper." "...for a trackday rider they'll make your bike less tiring to ride during the course of the day. And, as Richard [above] found out, road riders will benefit from their lightweight charms too. Plus, at the end of the day, they're simply undeniably cool." Michael Neeves - Senior Road Tester, MCN Ducati 899 Panigale Read the full article here. |

"...the effect these high quality, lightweight wheels will have on your 899 Panigale is dramatic."

"Absolutely awesome, I wasn't expecting that much of a transformation! The wheels, I'm speechless, absolutely changed the whole feel and the dynamics of it. It's just amazing, I can't believe the transformation of the bike. Awesome, there's no other word to describe it.

"In regards to how different it feels, it's night and day. It handles so much better now, brakes harder, accelerates faster, but most of all turns even at high speed with minimal effort. The bike is easier to ride now and feels much more like the 748R I had with magnesium wheels. Best mod ever I would say!"

"I'm one of the lucky ones who had a chance to fit a set of these BSTs on my 899 too. Fair to say that these wheels transform the bike entirely for the better. After riding 3000kms on the stock wheels before installing the BSTs, including road and track, the transformation is dramatic. The engine runs smoother with a huge increase in torque and power and simply feels and sounds better.
