DescriptionThe whole story▼
Engineered from pre-preg carbon fibre and CNC-machined 6082 T6 aluminium hubs, the BST RAPID TEK wheel set for the Yamaha YZF-R6 RJ27 represents the apex of two-wheel construction. At just 2.75 kg front and 3.20 kg rear, the dramatic reduction in unsprung and rotating mass translates directly into sharper turn-in, stronger acceleration, and rock-solid composure at race speeds — all backed by DOT E and JWL homologation for unrestricted road and track use.
Key Features
- Ultralight construction: front wheel 2.75 kg (6.06 lbs), rear wheel 3.20 kg (7.05 lbs) — meaningful reductions in rotating mass for measurably faster direction changes
- Pre-preg carbon fibre rims paired with CNC-machined 6082 T6 aluminium hubs — a combination that delivers exceptional stiffness-to-weight ratios without compromise
- DOT E and JWL certified — fully legal for road riding and unrestricted circuit use
- Verified load ratings for both front and rear: built to withstand the most demanding racing conditions
- Ultra-high-speed 90° aluminium valves supplied with caps as standard
- 2-year manufacturer's warranty included
Construction & Material Quality
BST's RAPID TEK process uses aerospace-grade pre-preg carbon fibre — resin-impregnated sheets that are laid up and cured under pressure for a void-free, consistent structure across every wheel. The result is a rim that holds its geometry under extreme cornering, braking, and traction loads without the flex or fatigue associated with conventional cast alloy wheels. Hub flanges are machined from 6082 T6 aluminium billet, providing the torsional rigidity needed to handle aggressive throttle exits and hard stops without creep or distortion. Every wheel is available with either steel or ceramic bearings to suit your maintenance preference and intended use.
Road & Track Performance
Reducing rotating mass at both ends of the R6 transforms the way the bike responds: the front tucks into corners with noticeably less effort, while the rear tracks more cleanly under power. At higher circuit speeds, the structural rigidity of the carbon rim eliminates the subtle tyre-profile distortion that heavier cast wheels can introduce, giving the rider a more precise and consistent feel from the contact patch. The 90° valve stems are compatible with the tyre warmers and pressure monitoring equipment common in paddock use.
