BST STAR TEK Carbon Rear Wheel Ducati Panigale V4/S/R (2025-2026)

Every gram saved at the rear wheel transforms how a motorcycle feels beneath you — quicker turn-in, sharper corner exits, more confidence under hard braking. The BST STAR TEK Carbon rear wheel for the Ducati Panigale V4, V4 S and V4 R (2025-2026) delivers exactly that, built from monocoque prepreg carbon fibre using BST's proprietary CRBNX technology to cut unsprung and rotating mass to a minimum without any compromise on structural integrity.

Key Features

• Reduced rotating mass for noticeably faster turn-in, more agile mid-corner handling and sharper acceleration out of every bend
• CRBNX monocoque prepreg carbon fibre construction — manufactured by Blackstone Tek in an ISO 9001:2015 certified facility for consistent, traceable quality
• Maximum load rating of 280 kg matched with exceptional bending and torsional rigidity despite the ultra-low weight
• TÜV Rheinland and JASO approved; every wheel is 100% visually inspected, ETRTO profile checked and CT-scanned before dispatch
• Wide finish choice — Clear Gloss standard, plus Satin, Forged Carbon, seven Candy colours and six Solid colours — to suit any Panigale build
• Two-year manufacturer warranty for total peace of mind on road or track

Construction and Materials

BST's STAR TEK range represents the current pinnacle of carbon wheel engineering. The monocoque prepreg carbon fibre shell is laid up and cured as a single, seamless structure rather than bonded sections, producing a wheel that is consistent in fibre orientation and free of the bond-line weaknesses associated with traditional construction. The spoke area employs BST's Ultra-High-Speed aluminium, selected to handle the concentrated stresses at the hub interface while keeping the overall mass as low as the STAR TEK design allows. The result is a rear wheel weighing approximately 2.2 kg in offset configuration or 2.75 kg in the conventional variant — figures that represent a significant saving over any cast aluminium wheel the Panigale V4 leaves the factory with.

Testing and Quality Assurance

Blackstone Tek subjects every STAR TEK wheel to a rigorous validation programme before it reaches a customer. Structural endurance testing covers 1,000,000 bending and torsion cycles, radial load testing over 6,000 km, and a radial impact test performed with full residual air pressure retained. Each individual wheel then undergoes 100% visual inspection, ETRTO profile control and a full CT scan — so the wheel you receive has been verified to the same standard as those used in professional motorsport. TÜV Rheinland and JASO certification provide independent confirmation of road legality and safety.

Fitment and Compatibility

This rear wheel is designed specifically for the following models:

• Ducati Panigale V4 — model years 2025 and 2026
• Ducati Panigale V4 S — model years 2025 and 2026
• Ducati Panigale V4 R — model years 2025 and 2026

Bearing options — steel or ceramic — are available at the point of order. Ceramic bearings reduce friction and are the preferred choice for sustained high-speed track use, while steel bearings remain an excellent, cost-effective solution for road and occasional track days.
