BST Star TEK Rear 17" x 6.0" Carbon Fiber Wheel for 2020-2025 Aprilia RS 660
BST Star TEK Carbon Fiber Rear Wheel | Aprilia RS 660 (2020-2025)
Elevate your Aprilia RS 660 with the BST Star TEK Carbon Fiber rear wheel. Reduce unsprung weight by up to 60% for elite-level acceleration, braking, and handling.
Blackstone Tek (BST) continues to lead the industry with the Star TEK series, a "coming of age" evolution of the legendary Diamond TEK design. Built using a unique single-mold (monocoque) process, the Star TEK wheel eliminates the need for joints or welds, resulting in a structure that is far stronger and lighter than traditional aluminum or magnesium wheels.
For the Aprilia RS 660 platform, this 17" x 6.0" rear wheel provides a massive reduction in unsprung rotating mass—weighing between 40% to 60% less than stock. By concentrating the weight at the hub and utilizing hollow carbon fiber spokes, BST achieves a dramatically lower Moment of Inertia (MOI). This allows the RS 660 to respond to rider inputs with surgical precision and allows the suspension to track the road surface with much higher efficiency.
Each wheel features high-pressure forged carbon hub areas and CNC-machined aluminum inserts for maximum durability. The Star TEK is a direct replacement for the OEM wheel, though it requires an aftermarket sprocket (5-hole, 100mm PCD). Fully DOT and JWL approved, these wheels are robust enough for daily street abuse while providing a competitive edge on the track.
Best Uses:
-
Competitive Racing & Track Days: Essential for shaving seconds off lap times through superior corner-entry speed and acceleration.
-
Performance Street Riding: Enhances the "flickability" of the RS 660, making it feel lighter and more responsive in the canyons.
-
High-End Customization: Perfect for riders who demand the ultimate in exotic aesthetics and cutting-edge technology.
-
Professional Tuning: An ideal upgrade when paired with high-end suspension to maximize mechanical grip and traction.
5 Key Features:
-
Monocoque Construction: Manufactured in a single molding operation for superior structural integrity and the highest strength-to-weight ratio.
-
Star TEK 5-Spoke Design: Edgy, slanted spoke configuration that optimizes both aerodynamic efficiency and modern superbike styling.
-
Aerospace-Grade Materials: Utilizes the finest "pre-preg" carbon fiber and toughened epoxy resin, cured in high-pressure autoclaves.
-
Forged Carbon Hub Areas: Unique high-pressure forged carbon sections at the hub ensure maximum strength under extreme torque loads.
-
DOT & JWL Approved: Certified to meet and surpass the highest international safety and endurance standards for both street and track use.
5 Key Benefits:
-
Increased Acceleration: Lower rotational mass translates to more engine power going directly to the ground for faster starts and exit speeds.
-
Sharper Handling: A lower Moment of Inertia significantly reduces the effort required to tip the bike into corners or change direction.
-
Improved Braking: Less rotating mass means less energy is required to stop the wheels, resulting in shorter braking distances and less fade.
-
Superior Suspension Tracking: Lighter wheels allow the rear shock to react faster to bumps, keeping the tire in contact with the asphalt more consistently.
-
Reduced Rider Fatigue: The bike's increased agility means the rider uses less physical energy to maneuver, keeping you sharp during long sessions.
