DescriptionThe whole story▼
For ZX-10 R riders who want a genuine performance upgrade that works just as hard on a Sunday morning ride as it does on a track day, the BST Rapid Tek carbon front wheel is the most practical choice in the BST range. At just 2.75 kg it slashes unsprung and rotating mass, rewarding you with noticeably sharper turn-in and more responsive handling from the very first corner — without sacrificing the DOT E and JWL certification that keeps it fully road-legal.
Key Features
- Ultralight construction at 6.06 lbs / 2.75 kg — reduces rotating mass for faster, more precise steering input on road and track alike.
- Pre-preg carbon fibre rim paired with a CNC-machined 6082 T6 aluminium hub for an optimal balance of stiffness, strength, and everyday durability.
- DOT E and JWL certified — fully approved for both road and circuit use, so no compromises are needed between commute and track day.
- Engineered for serious loads: radial load rating of 855 lbs / 388 kg, static load 341 lbs / 155 kg, cornering load 577 Nm, and torsional load 543.9 Nm.
- Ultra-high-speed 90° aluminium valve with cap included as standard.
- Choice of steel or ceramic bearings, and a wide range of finishes to suit any ZX-10 R colour scheme.
- Backed by a 2-year manufacturer's warranty for complete peace of mind.
Everyday Performance, Race-Grade Engineering
The Rapid Tek front wheel is built around BST's pre-preg carbon fibre process, which produces a rim of exceptional consistency and structural integrity. The 6082 T6 aluminium hub is CNC-machined to tight tolerances, ensuring a precise, rattle-free fit to the ZX-10 R's front axle. Whether you are threading through traffic or pushing hard through a sequence of chicanes, the reduction in gyroscopic effect from the lighter wheel translates directly into a more communicative, confidence-inspiring ride.
Finish Options
The Rapid Tek is available in ten distinct finishes — high-gloss, satin-matte, forged-carbon, Solid Blue, Solid Red, Solid Green, Solid Gold, Solid Silver, Solid Orange, and Black Ink — so you can match or contrast the wheel to the ZX-10 R's livery exactly as you intend. Bearing options of steel or ceramic allow you to tailor rolling resistance and service intervals to your priorities.
Fitment and Compatibility
This front wheel is designed and certified to fit the Kawasaki ZX-10 R model years 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020. The wheel is supplied in the standard OEM size as default. Alternative dimensions are available on request — please contact Inter-Pace before ordering if you require a non-standard size.
