BST Rapid Tek Carbon Rear Wheel Kawasaki ZX-10R (2016–2020)

Shedding unsprung and rotating mass from the rear of your Kawasaki ZX-10R transforms the way the bike breathes through corners, accelerates off the exit and responds to every throttle input. The BST Rapid Tek carbon rear wheel achieves precisely that, tipping the scales at just 3.20 kg — a figure that translates directly into sharper turn-in, stronger drive and a ride quality that never tires you out over a long day on road or track.

Key Features

• Ultralight at 7.05 lbs / 3.20 kg, reducing rotating mass for noticeably quicker acceleration and more responsive handling
• Pre-preg carbon fibre rim construction delivers an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and a smooth, fatigue-absorbing ride over extended sessions
• CNC-machined 6082 T6 aluminium hub provides precise fitment and lasting dimensional accuracy under high cornering loads
• DOT E and JWL certified — fully road-legal and race-track approved straight from the box
• Ultra-high-speed 90° aluminium valve with cap included, designed for the demands of high-speed running
• Supplied in standard OEM size as standard; alternative dimensions available on request
• Backed by a 2-year manufacturer's warranty

Built for the Long Ride and the Hard Lap

The Rapid Tek is BST's benchmark carbon wheel programme, engineered to deliver measurable performance gains without compromising structural integrity. The pre-preg carbon fibre rim is laid up under controlled temperature and pressure, producing a void-free, consistent laminate that handles radial loads of 994 lbs / 451 kg, static loads of 617 lbs / 280 kg, lateral cornering loads of 772 Nm and torsional loads of 1,030 Nm. These are not theoretical figures — they underpin the DOT E and JWL homologation that makes the wheel equally at home on a morning commute or a full-day trackday.

The 6082 T6 aluminium hub is precision CNC-machined to maintain exact bearing and sprocket alignment session after session, while the choice of steel or ceramic bearings lets you tune the specification to your riding environment. The result is a rear wheel that stays composed, predictable and confidence-inspiring regardless of how many kilometres you put behind you.

Finish Options

The Rapid Tek rear wheel is available in a range of finishes — from high-gloss and satin-matte carbon to forged-carbon finish and a full palette of solid colours including blue, red, green, gold, silver, orange and Black Ink — so your ZX-10R can reflect your personal style without sacrificing a single gram of performance.
