Comparisons |
Let's
compare, as an example, the weight of a
pair of standard Ducati (Brembo/Marchesini
manufactured) wheels, less front discs,
but complete with bearings and spacers,
with the weight of an equivalent pair of
BST carbon wheels.

As
you can see, the weight saving is 46.58%
- 4.578Kg, which nearly halves the stock
wheel weight.
It can be assumed that the weight savings
provided by the BST wheels on the example
Ducati is equal to about 9 Kilograms of
motorcycle mass - which is by all means
impressive - but there's more too...
Wheel weight savings on such a scale also
produce a substantial reduction in flywheel
and gyroscopic effects, allowing for much
faster directional and angle changes,
making the motorcycle far more sensitive
to the rider's demands, easier to control,
thus gaining on two fronts, making BST
wheels faster and safer.
