GRAND
PRIX WINNING, CARBON FIBRE WHEELS FROM
BST...
The all carbon fibre wheel from BlackStone
Tek, produced using the latest technology,
materials and aerospace manufacturing
processes - in a single moulding process
for seamless strength.
Comfortably over-engineered for road certification,
including TÜV, their extremely light
and exceedingly strong design makes them
suitable for both racing and street/road
use and they make an immediate and immense
difference to any bike. |
"...the
ZX-10R feels lika a totally different
bike, its responsiveness has gone
through the roof..."
“...there is no other mod
that can save 2 seconds a lap instantly,
even for the same money..."

Benefits
of Carbon Fibre Wheels |
| •
|
Lower
rotational inertia results in all-round performance
gains including...
- quicker and more responsive steering
- increased acceleration (equivalent to as much
as +9 bhp)
- improved braking performance
- much less rider fatigue
...leading to typically one second per mile
on circuit lap time saving |
| • |
Lower
unsprung mass provides better tyre grip and reduced
tyre wear |
| •
|
Durability
- carbon fibre is a fatigue-free material |
| • |
Robustness
- carbon fibre is a damage tolerant material |
| •
|
Longevity
- carbon fibre is corrosion-free |
| • |
Attractiveness
- lacquered woven finish gives the wheels a killer
look! |

BST
wheels are up to 30% lighter than most of
today's 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 these 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 much faster
directional changes, which makes the motorcycle
far more sensitive to the rider's demands. |
"The
£2250 BST carbon-fibre wheels
yield the biggest transformation over
the stock bike. With less unsprung
weight, the bike has a much lighter
feel and takes minimal effort to turn"

"In
just three reasonably clear laps on
thr BSTs I’d equalled my best
time on the stock wheels, and then
cut a second on each of two successive
laps.
Not only is that an incredible leap
in performance, it also suggests that
there’s more to come. You don’t
arrive at your absolute best in one-second
chunks. With an empty track, the BST
wheels could be up to three seconds
a lap faster. Best of all, the time
comes effortlessly."

"I
just wanted to give you some feedback on my new
BST wheels. I’m decent road rider who's
been riding over 20 years on everything from Harleys
to scooters. I’m in the Institute of Advanced
Motorists and cover a lot of road miles, including
two or three trips year to the Nurburgring, where
I can do a respectable 8mins 30secs lap. My road
bike is a 2002 Fireblade - standard other than
an Ohlins rear shock and excellent Brembo SC road
& trackday pads - and I have a 2006 ZX10R
for trackdays.
I fitted the BSTs to my Fireblade because the
standard wheels were corroding and I’ve
never been very happy with its handling. I had
a new set of 2CTs on the old wheels and these
were swapped over to give an accurate side-by-side
comparison and I must admit to being a little
sceptical that a rider of my modest talents would
notice any difference. But, the difference was
immediate and obvious.
Because of the huge reduction in rotating mass
the brakes and engine have far less work to do
so the bike accelerates faster and brakes much
better and it feels like I’ve had a very
expensive engine and brake up-grade.
Next the suspension. The rear works well anyway
since I fitted the Ohlins, but I’ve struggled
to get the front working properly, always feeling
under damped on rebound. I was about to embark
on a full rebuild and valve upgrade. That’s
no longer needed – with no adjustments at
all, suddenly the forks feel perfect, with compliant
damping and excellent feedback. The massive reduction
in unsprung mass has solved my damping woes in
a stroke. The rear grips better too.
Finally the handling, initially I was amazed at
how quickly it now turns, I took the bike to my
favourite roads to test it. It now turns in so
quickly that I found myself running into turns
too quickly and apexing too early, this cut my
visibility through the bend and slowed me down
but, after 10 minutes or so I readjusted and got
used to it. I can now leave the braking later,
keeping the bike upright for longer before turning
in, this allows for better visibly though the
bends and therefore more safety and, of course,
more speed. Not often you can say that is it?
When I do turn in, I can go in deeper and with
bigger lean angles. This means the bike is leant
over for less time, again greater safety and better
speed on the road. On the track the advantages
will be obvious.
So, in short; a wheel upgrade has meant that my
bike is faster, safer and easier to ride."

"Thank
you for my wheels; what can I say Not only are
they beautiful to look at, but they have totally
changed the way by bike handles and feels.
Everything has been improved, including my riding.
A massive thank you."
E.M. Lanarkshire |
"Straightaway,
the Yamaha felt faster on the carbon wheels …on
the stock wheels under heavy braking the bike
felt like it was trying to back in – no
such problem on the lighter wheels.
‘What I found most staggering was the ability
to correct a line mid-turn and that gave me more
confidence to lean further even though it was
starting to rain, there was far more engaging
feedback from the carbon wheels.
‘So are the BST wheels worth the money?
Well you’d have to throw a lot more cash
at an engine to make comparable gains…
But the clincher for me is how they make me feel…
in terms of feedback and confidence I’d
definitely want a set of these and, if I was racing,
I’d certainly have to find the money somehow."
