DescriptionThe whole story▼
When every gram and every tenth counts, the BST GP TEK carbon front wheel delivers track-focused engineering that you can feel from the first corner. Developed specifically for the Aprilia RSV4, RSV4 RR, RSV4 RF and RSV4 1100 Factory (2015–2020), it pairs a pre-preg carbon fibre rim with CNC-machined aluminium hubs and full titanium hardware to give you a front wheel that weighs just 1.7 kg — without bearings or spacers.
Key Features
- Weighs just 1.7 kg (3.75 lbs, excluding bearings and spacers) — dramatically reduces unsprung and rotational mass for quicker turn-in and sharper handling response.
- Pre-preg carbon fibre rim construction paired with CNC-machined 6082 T6 aluminium hubs for a rim that is both rigid and precise.
- Titanium Grade 5 bolts, nuts and inserts throughout — maximum strength at minimum weight, with no corrosion concerns in adverse track conditions.
- Pre-preg carbon fibre inner spacer adds structural integrity while shaving further weight compared to conventional aluminium spacers.
- BST Ultra-High-Speed valve — 90-degree aluminium valve stem with cap, designed for high-rpm track use where a standard valve would fail.
- DOT E and JWL compliant for track use, backed by a 2-year manufacturer's warranty.
- Available with standard steel bearings or optional ceramic bearings for reduced friction and extended service life at sustained high speeds.
Construction & Engineering
BST's GP TEK range represents the pinnacle of the brand's carbon wheel technology, designed from the outset for competition. The rim is laid up from pre-preg carbon fibre — the same process used in aerospace and Formula 1 — ensuring consistent fibre orientation and void-free consolidation that cheaper wet-laid or filament-wound processes simply cannot match. The 6082 T6 aluminium hub is machined from billet to tight tolerances, providing the precise bearing seat geometry that a performance wheel demands.
Hardware is exclusively Titanium Grade 5 (Ti-6Al-4V), which offers roughly 45 per cent of the weight of steel at comparable tensile strength. Combined with the carbon inner spacer, every component choice reflects a single-minded focus on reducing mass without compromise to structural integrity.
Performance at the Track
Reducing unsprung and rotational mass at the front wheel pays dividends across an entire session. The wheel accelerates and decelerates more readily, the front end responds with greater immediacy to steering inputs, and tyre feedback through the bars is cleaner because the wheel itself is not masking chassis signals with its own inertia. At 1.7 kg, the GP TEK front wheel is among the lightest options available for the RSV4 platform, making it a genuine performance upgrade rather than a cosmetic one.
Note: GP TEK wheels are intended exclusively for competition and track use.
