BST STAR TEK Carbon Front Wheel – Ducati Panigale V4/S/R (2025-2026)

For riders who use their Panigale V4, V4 S or V4 R as much on the road as on track days, the BST STAR TEK carbon front wheel delivers a measurable, immediately felt upgrade in everyday handling — sharper turn-in, reduced fatigue on long rides and a race-derived aesthetic that works just as well in morning traffic as it does at the circuit. Weighing approximately 2.4 kg, this monocoque CRBNX prepreg-carbon wheel cuts rotating mass dramatically, making every steering input crisper and more intuitive without demanding any changes to riding style.

Key Features

• Exceptional everyday agility: the ultra-low rotating mass translates directly into lighter, more responsive steering, reducing effort on both tight urban corners and fast flowing roads.
• High bending and torsional rigidity: the monocoque CRBNX prepreg-carbon construction holds its line precisely under hard braking and through deep lean angles, giving you real confidence wherever you ride.
• Reduced rotational inertia: less gyroscopic resistance means the bike changes direction with noticeably less effort, and braking distances improve as the wheel responds faster to caliper input.
• Personalised finish: choose from Clear Gloss (standard), Satin, Matte, Forged Carbon, seven Candy colours or six Solid colours — plus steel or ceramic bearing options — so the wheel matches your exact build.
• TÜV-certified road legality: tested to TÜV 287 StVZO 1998 and JASO T203-85, with 1,000,000 bending and torsion cycles, 6,000 km radial load endurance and a full radial impact test with retained air pressure — legal and safe for public roads.
• CT-scanned and individually inspected: every wheel leaves the ISO 9001:2015-certified Blackstone Tek facility only after passing full CT scanning and individual quality control.

Build Quality and Manufacturing

Blackstone Tek (BST) has been producing carbon fibre wheels for over 23 years, supplying both MotoGP-derived race programmes and road-legal applications. The STAR TEK wheel is constructed using CRBNX prepreg carbon in a monocoque architecture — meaning the rim and spokes form a single, seamlessly integrated structure with no bonded joints to introduce weakness or flex. The wheel centre is finished with BST Ultra-High-Speed Aluminium hardware, chosen for its combination of low mass and high thermal stability under sustained braking loads. Manufacturing takes place under an ISO 9001:2015-certified quality system, with every finished wheel CT-scanned before despatch to verify internal fibre integrity.

Testing and Road Approval

The STAR TEK front wheel is not a track-only component. BST submits each wheel design to the full TÜV 287 StVZO 1998 and JASO T203-85 test battery, which includes one million bending and torsion cycles, 6,000 km of radial load simulation and a radial impact test during which the tyre must retain full air pressure. A 2-year manufacturer warranty and a rated maximum load capacity of 155 kg complete the case for daily use.

Fitment and Compatibility

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

• Ducati Panigale V4 — 2025 and 2026 model years
• Ducati Panigale V4 S — 2025 and 2026 model years
• Ducati Panigale V4 R — 2025 and 2026 model years

Bearing choice (steel or ceramic) is selectable at the time of order. If you are unsure which specification suits your build or riding profile, the Inter-Pace team can advise before purchase.
