DescriptionThe whole story

Few upgrades redefine a motorcycle as completely as a set of BST STAR TEK carbon wheels. Forged from the same Prepreg carbon and monocoque construction philosophy that Blackstone Tek has refined across more than two decades of motorsport engineering, this wheel set transforms the Suzuki GSX-R 1000 (2017–2023) from a factory superbike into a machine that feels genuinely race-bred — lighter on its feet, faster to change direction, and breathtaking to look at.

Key Features

  • Monocoque Prepreg carbon construction using BST CRBNX technology dramatically reduces rotating unsprung mass for sharper turn-in and faster acceleration
  • BST Ultra-High-Speed aluminium wheel spiders deliver structural rigidity where it matters most without adding unnecessary weight
  • Tested to 1,000,000 bending and torsion cycles plus 6,000 km of radial load cycling — then individually CT-scanned and visually inspected before dispatch
  • Radial impact test with residual air pressure retention confirms real-world tyre safety under the harshest conditions
  • TÜV and JASO certified, ISO 9001 manufactured, and backed by a two-year warranty
  • Available in a wide palette of finishes — standard gloss, satin, forged carbon, seven Candy colours and six Solid colours — so the aesthetic matches the performance

Design, Finish and Heritage

What distinguishes the STAR TEK set from cheaper carbon alternatives is the depth of finish options and the pedigree behind every one of them. Blackstone Tek does not simply laminate carbon over a conventional rim profile; the monocoque structure means the entire wheel is engineered as a single integrated form, eliminating bond lines and the stress concentrations they create. The visible carbon weave in gloss or satin carries that motorsport honesty through to the aesthetics, while the Candy and Solid colour ranges — including Candy Green, Candy Purple Blue, Candy Gold, Candy Orange, Candy Red, Candy Blue, Solid White, Solid Red, Solid Blue, Solid Green, Solid Silver, and Forged Carbon Finish — allow owners to match team livery or personal style with equal precision.

Every surface treatment is applied to BST's own quality standard, and the aluminium spoke inserts can be specified with either steel or ceramic bearings depending on intended use and maintenance preference.

Performance on Road and Track

Reducing rotating unsprung mass has a disproportionate effect on every measurable aspect of dynamic performance. The front wheel at 3.5 x 17 inches weighs approximately 2.4 kg with a 155 kg load rating; the rear at 6.0 x 17 inches comes in at approximately 2.2–2.75 kg depending on specification, with a 280 kg load rating. That reduction in gyroscopic inertia shortens braking distances, sharpens steering response, and improves drive out of corners — benefits that are equally felt at a trackday and on a fast mountain road.

Safety and Testing

BST's testing protocol goes well beyond regulatory minimums. Each wheel endures 1,000,000 bending and torsion cycles, 6,000 km of radial load simulation, and a radial impact test confirming the tyre retains air pressure after a significant kerb strike. A CT scan and a full manual visual inspection are completed on every individual wheel before it leaves the factory. TÜV and JASO certification confirms these are road-legal components, not motorsport-only parts that require compromise.

Fitment and Compatibility

This wheel set is engineered specifically for the Suzuki GSX-R 1000 across model years 2017 to 2023. Both steel bearing and ceramic bearing configurations are available to suit different budgets and maintenance schedules.
