DescriptionThe whole story▼
Engineered from pre-preg carbon fibre and paired with a CNC-machined 6082 T6 aluminium hub, the BST GP TEK front wheel for the Kawasaki ZX-10R (2016–2020) represents the absolute pinnacle of race wheel construction. At just 1.7 kg without bearings and spacers, it slashes unsprung and rotational mass in a way no forged aluminium wheel can match — delivering sharper turn-in, faster direction changes and enhanced front-end feel precisely where it matters most on track.
Key Features
- Pre-preg carbon fibre rim bonded to a CNC-machined 6082 T6 aluminium hub — exceptional stiffness-to-weight ratio without compromise
- Weight of just 3.75 lbs / 1.7 kg (excluding bearings and spacers) for immediate, measurable gains in agility and acceleration
- Titanium Grade 5 inserts, bolts and nuts throughout — hardware that matches the carbon rim's performance credentials and resists fatigue under race loads
- Pre-preg carbon fibre inner spacers keep every gram accounted for while maintaining structural integrity under cornering and braking forces
- DOT E and JWL certified for track use, backed by a 2-year manufacturer's warranty
- 90° aluminium ultra-high-speed valve with cap included as standard
- Standard delivery size matches OEM dimensions; alternative sizes available on request
Construction and Materials
BST's GP TEK series uses the same pre-preg carbon fibre layup process found in aerospace and Formula 1 applications. Each rim section is autoclave-cured for consistent fibre consolidation, then precision-bonded to the 6082 T6 aluminium hub — an alloy chosen for its superior strength-to-weight ratio over the more common 6061 grade. The internal spacers are likewise carbon fibre, eliminating the small but cumulative mass penalty of conventional aluminium or steel equivalents.
Every fastener is Titanium Grade 5 (Ti-6Al-4V), offering tensile strength comparable to steel at roughly half the weight and far greater corrosion resistance. The result is a wheel where even the hardware contributes meaningfully to the overall mass reduction, rather than undermining it.
Track Performance
Reducing unsprung mass at the front axle allows the suspension to track surface irregularities more faithfully, improving contact patch consistency under braking and through corners. The GP TEK's load ratings — radial load of 275 kg (3.5-inch) or 327 kg (3.75-inch), static load of 330 lbs / 150 kg, cornering load of 783 Nm and torsional load of 908 Nm — confirm that the weight savings involve no structural concession. These are race-grade figures validated to DOT E and JWL standards.
Please note: BST GP TEK wheels are designed exclusively for racing and competition use and are not intended for road registration.
Fitment and Compatibility
This front wheel is engineered specifically for the Kawasaki ZX-10R covering model years 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020. It is supplied as standard in the OEM size; alternative sizes are available on request. Two bearing configurations are offered — steel bearings or ceramic bearings — and a range of finish options allows personalisation to suit your machine's livery.
