DescriptionThe whole story▼
Designed for riders who demand all-day performance without sacrificing comfort on either road or track, the BST Diamond Tek carbon wheel set transforms the Kawasaki ZX-10R (2016–2020) from the ground up. Pre-preg carbon fibre construction strips kilograms from the most critical unsprung mass on the motorcycle, translating directly into sharper turn-in, reduced rider fatigue, and a ride quality that rewards every mile.
Key Features
- Dramatic weight reduction — front wheel at just 2.50 kg and rear at only 4.0 kg, cutting unsprung mass for faster acceleration and more precise handling.
- Pre-preg carbon fibre rim construction paired with 6082 T6 aluminium hubs for an optimal balance of stiffness and durability.
- DOT E and JWL certified — independently tested to meet the most demanding load and impact standards in the industry.
- Exceptional structural integrity with a front radial load rating of 357 kg and rear radial load rating of 445 kg.
- High cornering and torsional rigidity — front cornering load 543 Nm / torsion 568 Nm; rear cornering load 711 Nm / torsion 995 Nm.
- BST Ultra-High-Speed aluminium valve (90°) and cap included as standard.
- Two-year manufacturer's warranty for complete peace of mind.
Construction & Ride Quality
BST's Diamond Tek process uses aerospace-grade pre-preg carbon fibre, laid up precisely and cured under controlled heat and pressure. The result is a wheel that is not merely light but dimensionally stable and consistent lap after lap. The 6082 T6 aluminium hub resists the torsional loads generated under hard braking and aggressive corner exits, and the interface between hub and carbon rim is engineered to distribute stress evenly — eliminating the flex and fatigue that can make lighter aftermarket wheels feel nervous over bumpy surfaces. Riders regularly note how the reduced gyroscopic effect eases steering input, reducing shoulder and wrist fatigue on long days in the saddle or repeated track sessions.
Road & Track Versatility
The Diamond Tek set is homologated for road use (DOT E / JWL) and equally at home on circuit. Whether you are chasing lap times at a track day or covering distance on a sport-touring run, the combination of low rotational inertia and high load ratings means the wheels perform with equal composure. Available in a wide choice of finishes — from gloss and satin-matt carbon through to solid anodised colours and the distinctive Forged-Carbon and Schwarz Ink options — the set can be configured to complement any livery on the ZX-10R.
