DescriptionThe whole story▼

Engineered from pre-preg carbon fibre and bonded to a CNC-machined 6082 T6 aluminium hub, the BST Rapid TEK rear wheel for the Yamaha YZF-R6 RJ27 sets a new benchmark in wheel construction. At just 3.20 kg, it slashes rotational mass to a degree that fundamentally transforms how the R6 accelerates, changes direction and responds to throttle inputs — on the road and on the circuit alike.

Key Features

  • Ultralight construction at 7.05 lbs / 3.20 kg, dramatically reducing unsprung and rotational mass for sharper acceleration and more agile handling
  • Pre-preg carbon fibre rim paired with a precision CNC-machined 6082 T6 aluminium hub — a combination that delivers exceptional stiffness without sacrificing impact resistance
  • Certified to DOT E and JWL standards, making this wheel fully compliant for road registration and approved for racing use
  • Load ratings engineered for high-performance demands: radial load 994 lbs / 451 kg, static load 617 lbs / 280 kg, cornering load 772 Nm, torsional load 1,030 Nm
  • Ultra-high-speed 90° aluminium valve with cap included as standard
  • Choice of steel or ceramic bearings, plus ten distinct colour and finish options to match your R6's livery
  • Backed by a 2-year manufacturer's warranty

Build Quality and Materials

BST's Rapid TEK wheels begin with aerospace-grade pre-preg carbon fibre — each layer precisely oriented and autoclave-cured for consistent density and repeatable strength. The result is a rim that resists flex under hard braking and high cornering loads while remaining far lighter than any aluminium equivalent. The hub is machined from 6082 T6 aluminium billet, chosen for its superior tensile strength and corrosion resistance. Every mating surface is held to tight tolerances, ensuring correct bearing seating and reliable, fatigue-free performance across thousands of track kilometres.

Road and Track Performance

Reducing rotational mass at the wheel is one of the most effective ways to improve a motorcycle's real-world performance. With the Rapid TEK fitted, the R6 requires less energy to spin the wheel up, translating directly into sharper acceleration out of slow corners and more responsive braking feedback. Riders switching from standard cast wheels consistently report a livelier, more communicative front-to-rear balance — a benefit that is equally apparent on a Sunday road ride as it is on a qualifying lap.

Fitment and Compatibility

This rear wheel is a direct-fit replacement for the Yamaha YZF-R6 RJ27 covering model years 2017 to 2026. It is supplied as standard in the original OEM size; other dimensions are available upon request. Select your preferred bearing type (steel or ceramic) and finish at the point of order.
