DescriptionThe whole story▼
When every gram and every millisecond counts, the BST Diamond Tek Carbon rear wheel for the Kawasaki ZX-10R (2016–2020) delivers an immediate, tangible upgrade in handling precision and all-day rideability. Weighing just 4.0 kg, it slashes unsprung mass without sacrificing an ounce of structural integrity — making each session on road or track feel noticeably lighter, sharper and more responsive.
Key Features
- Ultralight pre-preg carbon fibre construction at only 4.0 kg (8.82 lbs), reducing unsprung mass for faster acceleration and more precise steering feedback
- CNC-machined 6082 T6 aluminium hubs integrated seamlessly into the carbon rim for a refined, fatigue-free ride feel over long stints
- DOT E and JWL certified — tested to withstand radial loads of 445 kg, cornering loads of 711 Nm and torsional loads of 995 Nm
- Supplied with a 90-degree aluminium high-speed valve as standard
- Available in a wide range of finishes including gloss, satin-matte, Forged Carbon and solid colours to suit your ZX-10R's livery
- Choice of steel or ceramic bearings to match your intended use, from street touring to circuit work
- 2-year manufacturer's warranty as standard
All-Day Comfort and Precision Fit
The Diamond Tek's pre-preg carbon fibre layup is engineered not only for outright lightness but also to provide a subtly more compliant ride characteristic than a conventional aluminium wheel. That compliance, combined with the dramatic reduction in rotating and unsprung mass, translates directly into a wheel that feels confidence-inspiring lap after lap — and equally rewarding on a long road ride where rider fatigue is a genuine factor. The wheel ships in the OEM size for your ZX-10R as standard; alternative widths are available on request.
Construction and Materials
BST builds the Diamond Tek using aerospace-grade pre-preg carbon fibre, laid up by hand and autoclave-cured to ensure consistent fibre density and void-free lamination throughout the rim. The hubs are precision CNC-machined from 6082 T6 aluminium alloy — a grade chosen for its excellent strength-to-weight ratio and resistance to fatigue. Steel or ceramic bearing options allow you to tailor rotational efficiency to your requirements, with ceramic bearings offering lower friction and greater durability under sustained high-speed use.
Track and Road Performance
Developed with racing in mind, the Diamond Tek rear wheel is equally at home on a closed circuit and a demanding road route. The reduction in unsprung and rotating mass sharpens throttle response out of corners, improves braking stability and lightens the overall feel of the ZX-10R through direction changes. Certification to both DOT E and JWL standards means it meets the safety requirements for public road use in key markets without compromise.
