BST STAR TEK Carbon Wheel Set Yamaha YZF-R1/M RN32, RN49 & RN65 (2015–2026)

When lap times matter and every kilogram of rotating mass costs you tenths, the BST STAR TEK carbon wheel set for the Yamaha YZF-R1/M (RN32, RN49 and RN65, 2015–2026) delivers a measurable, trackday-proven advantage. Engineered using BST's proprietary CRBNX prepreg carbon monocoque construction paired with an Ultra-High-Speed aluminium spider, these wheels shed unsprung and rotating mass simultaneously — translating directly into sharper turn-in, explosive corner-exit acceleration and shorter braking distances on both circuit and road.

Key Features

• Reduced rotating mass for noticeably quicker steering response and faster acceleration out of every corner
• Prepreg carbon monocoque construction (CRBNX technology) delivers extreme rigidity without compromise
• BST Ultra-High-Speed aluminium spider bonded into each wheel for consistent high-load stability
• TÜV-approved and JASO-tested: 1,000,000 bending and torsion cycles, 6,000 km radial load endurance and a radial impact test with retained residual air pressure
• Every wheel CT-scanned and 100% visually inspected before leaving the factory — individually certified by Blackstone Tek
• ISO 9001 certified manufacturing and a 2-year warranty for total peace of mind
• Wide finish selection: standard gloss, satin-matte, Forged-Carbon finish, seven Candy colours and six Solid colours including Solid Blue, Red, Green, White, Silver and Candy Gold

Track Performance

The STAR TEK wheels are built around a single goal: making the Yamaha YZF-R1 and R1M faster around a circuit. The front wheel measures 3.5 x 17 inches and weighs approximately 2.4 kg with a 155 kg load rating, while the rear wheel at 6.0 x 17 inches comes in at approximately 2.2–2.75 kg depending on specification and carries a 280 kg load rating. Removing rotating mass at both ends sharpens the gyroscopic response across the entire rev range, giving the R1's crossplane-crank character room to breathe and translating rider input into direction changes with unprecedented immediacy.

Construction & Quality

Blackstone Tek is the global market leader in carbon fibre motorcycle wheels, and the STAR TEK range represents the pinnacle of that expertise. Each wheel is formed from aerospace-grade prepreg carbon in a monocoque structure — no separate rim bonded to a hub, no potential weak joint. The CRBNX layup schedule optimises fibre orientation for both lateral stiffness and impact resilience. Before any wheel is shipped it undergoes CT scanning and a full visual inspection, with each unit individually certified. Manufacturing takes place in an ISO 9001 certified facility, and every set is backed by a 2-year warranty.
