DescriptionThe whole story▼
Constructed from pre-preg carbon fibre with CNC-machined 6082 T6 aluminium hubs, the BST Rapid Tek wheel set represents the pinnacle of lightweight wheel engineering for the Aprilia RSV4, RSV4 RR, RSV4 RF and RSV4 1100 Factory. At just 2.75 kg front and 3.20 kg rear, the reduction in unsprung and rotational mass is immediately felt in sharper turn-in, faster acceleration and more responsive braking — whether you are carving roads or chasing lap times.
Key Features
- Exceptional low weight: front wheel at 2.75 kg (6.06 lbs), rear wheel at 3.20 kg (7.05 lbs) — genuine performance through reduced rotational mass
- Premium construction: pre-preg carbon fibre rim bonded to a CNC-machined 6082 T6 aluminium hub for optimal strength-to-weight ratio
- Road and track certified: DOT E and JWL approved, making these wheels fully legal for both public roads and circuit use
- High-speed aluminium valves: ultra-high-speed 90° aluminium valves with protective caps included as standard
- Multiple finish options: available in Gloss, Satin-Matte, Forged-Carbon, Solid colours and Schwarz Ink to complement any RSV4 livery
- Choice of bearing specification: standard steel bearings or optional ceramic bearings for those demanding the absolute best
- Two-year manufacturer's warranty included
Build Quality and Materials
BST's Rapid Tek construction method uses aerospace-grade pre-preg carbon fibre — fabric pre-impregnated with a precisely controlled resin matrix — cured under heat and pressure to achieve a consistently dense, void-free structure. The result is a rim that is simultaneously stiffer and lighter than cast aluminium equivalents, without compromising on impact resistance. The hubs are machined from 6082 T6 aluminium billet, an alloy chosen for its high tensile strength, excellent corrosion resistance and suitability for tight dimensional tolerances. Every interface between hub and rim is engineered to exacting tolerances, ensuring the assembly remains true even under the high lateral and torsional loads generated by aggressive track riding.
Performance on Road and Track
Reducing unsprung mass at both ends of the motorcycle transforms the way the RSV4 responds to surface imperfections and rider inputs. The suspension can react faster to bumps because there is less wheel mass to control, keeping the tyre in contact with the tarmac more consistently. Lower rotational inertia means the engine spends less energy spinning the wheels and more energy driving the bike forward. For riders who want every mechanical advantage without sacrificing road legality, the Rapid Tek set delivers on both counts.
