BST Diamond Tek Carbon Wheel Set – Yamaha YZF-R1/M RN32, RN49 & RN65 (2015–2026)

Riding a Yamaha YZF-R1 or R1M hard all day demands equipment that never compromises — and the BST Diamond Tek carbon wheel set is engineered precisely for that commitment. Developed specifically for the RN32, RN49 and RN65 generations (2015–2026), this front and rear pairing combines pre-preg carbon fibre rims with CNC-machined 6082 T6 aluminium hubs to deliver a wheel set that feels at home on a Sunday morning road ride just as readily as it does on a full track day, with a ride quality and confidence that only truly lightweight rotating mass can provide.

Key Features

• Exceptional weight savings — front wheel at just 2.50 kg and rear at 4.0 kg — reduce unsprung and rotating mass for sharper turn-in and stronger acceleration out of corners.
• Pre-preg carbon fibre rim construction paired with CNC-machined 6082 T6 aluminium hubs for a precise, fatigue-resistant bond between materials.
• DOT E and JWL certified — independently tested and approved for both road and race use, giving you full confidence in every session.
• Exceptional structural ratings: front wheel handles 357 kg radial load, 543 Nm cornering load and 568 Nm torsion; rear handles 445 kg radial load, 711 Nm cornering load and 995 Nm torsion.
• Ultra-high-speed 90° aluminium valves with caps included as standard — ready for track use without modification.
• Available with your choice of steel or ceramic bearings, and in a wide range of finishes to complement any R1 or R1M livery.
• Two-year manufacturer's warranty for complete peace of mind.

Build Quality & Carbon Technology

BST's Diamond Tek process uses aerospace-grade pre-preg carbon fibre — resin-impregnated sheets that are laid up and cured under controlled heat and pressure — to achieve a rim structure with outstanding lateral and torsional stiffness relative to its mass. Unlike aftermarket aluminium forged wheels, the carbon construction absorbs micro-vibrations across a long riding day, so your hands and wrists arrive at the destination in better shape. The CNC-machined 6082 T6 aluminium hub is the ideal interface: hard, lightweight and dimensionally precise, it mates perfectly with the R1's axle and bearing dimensions across the entire RN32-through-RN65 production run.

Performance on Road and Track

Reducing unsprung and rotating mass is one of the highest-value upgrades on a litre-class superbike. The Diamond Tek set's front wheel weighs 5.51 lbs (2.50 kg) and the rear 8.82 lbs (4.0 kg), translating directly into faster direction changes, more responsive braking and a noticeably livelier throttle response mid-corner. On track the high cornering load ratings — 543 Nm at the front and 711 Nm at the rear — mean the wheels remain geometrically stable even under the aggressive lean angles and kerb loads that the R1 platform is capable of generating. On the road, the reduction in rotational inertia makes city riding and canyon-road direction changes feel effortless, with none of the fatigue associated with heavier stock wheels over long distances.

Fitment & Compatibility

This wheel set is designed and tested specifically for the following models:

• Yamaha YZF-R1 and YZF-R1M — chassis codes RN32, RN49 and RN65, model years 2015 through 2026.

The set is supplied in original OEM rim widths and diameters. Alternative sizes are available on request — please contact Inter-Pace before ordering if you require a non-standard combination.
