BST Carbon Fiber Wheels
Performance
Weighing between 40 and 60 percent less than OEM wheels, BST wheels bestow sportbikes with sharper corner-carving abilities, faster acceleration, and quicker braking by weighing less than their production-bike counterparts. Lighter wheels are also easier for suspension systems to control over bumps and irregular surfaces, yielding more traction and unimpeded acceleration. Less rotating mass also equals less rider fatigue. A lighter rear wheel is easier for the shock to control properly, which leads to superior power application and much higher trap speeds in competition and track days.
Design
Using high-tech processes pioneered in the aerospace industry, BST wheels are manufactured in a single molding operation. This technique produces a wheel that is far superior in strength and much lighter than any aluminum or magnesium wheel, and one that is light and strong enough for racing and street use.
BST wheels are a unique monococque (single unit) design with hollow spokes. The end result is wheels with unsprung weight reduced 40-60 percent compared to stock wheels. This delivers the lowest possible moment of inertia, a critical factor that affects all aspects of motorcycle performance.
Maximizing the molecular and structural properties of carbon fiber, BST has reduced spoke and rim weight without compromising their strength. Mass is therefore concentrated in the hub, reducing rotational inertia. This results in quicker acceleration and braking, allowing faster corner entry and exit speeds.
Avon Cobra Chrome Tires
Excellent stability and braking in wet conditions. Avon’s latest pattern produces over a 5 percent larger footprint to maximize grip and uses the latest compound technology to improve tread life by 10 percent compared with its predecessor.
Features
-
- In keeping with the market trends for a mixture of both performance and style, Avon has introduced a unique “Snakeskin” tread to complement the Cobra logo on the tire sidewall and tread of each tire
- With an advanced construction design, the Cobra Chrome delivers improved stability and durability in all conditions for precise feel and tire feedback
