The BST GP-TEK series represents Blackstone Tek’s ultimate mission: to engineer the lightest possible motorcycle racing wheel without compromising structural integrity. Utilizing an advanced aerospace-grade single-mold (monocoque) process, these wheels achieve an astonishing 40% to 60% weight reduction compared to stock factory components.
Specifically tailored for the crossplane Yamaha R1/R1M platform, this premium wheelset includes a 17" x 3.5" front wheel and a 17" x 6.0" rear wheel. Designed strictly for competitive race use, the wheels feature internal hubs machined from high-strength 6000-series aircraft-grade aluminum paired with ultra-lightweight Grade 5 titanium fasteners.
To handle the extreme acceleration and braking forces of modern liters-class superbikes, a factory-applied UHS Anti-Slip Coating is added to the rim to prevent tire slippage. Additionally, the wheels come equipped with Ultra-High-Speed 90-degree aluminum valve stems, engineered to combat severe centrifugal forces and protect against deflation at track speeds tested up to 311 mph. For lifelong security and provenance, a Trovan ID 1000/12 RFID tag is seamlessly embedded directly into the carbon architecture.
Best Uses:
-
Professional and Amateur Track Racing: Engineered exclusively to slice seconds off lap times through unparalleled agility and weight savings.
-
Elite Track Days: Designed for riders demanding the absolute highest tier of GP-level engineering available for the Yamaha R1 platform.
-
Technical Circuit Racing: Maximizes chassis dynamics and transitions on tight, high-speed road courses.
-
Premium Weight-Reduction Projects: Serves as the ultimate hardware upgrade for shedding rotating mass from track-only superbike builds.
5 Key Features:
-
MotoGP-Inspired Monocoque Design: Slanted five-spoke, single-unit hollow carbon fiber construction provides maximum structural strength with zero joints or welds.
-
Premium Aluminum & Titanium Hardware: Equipped with 6000-series aircraft aluminum hubs and Grade 5 titanium fasteners for minimal weight and maximum durability.
-
Factory UHS Anti-Slip Coating: A specialized treatment applied between the tire and the rim prevents tire rotation under extreme torque.
-
Centrifugal-Resistant 90-Degree Valve Stems: Ultra-High-Speed aluminum stems ensure tire pressure remains entirely stable at extreme track velocities.
-
Embedded Lifelong RFID Tag: Features an integrated Trovan ID 1000/12 RFID tag for permanent identification, verification, and product traceability.
5 Key Benefits:
-
Apex-Carving Handling: Unmatched reduction in rotational inertia allows the Yamaha R1 to tip into corners effortlessly and switch direction instantly.
-
Explosive Acceleration: Trimming massive unsprung mass allows the CP4 engine to spin the wheels up to speed efficiently, resulting in higher trap speeds.
-
Optimized Suspension Dynamics: A lighter wheel package makes it significantly easier for front forks and rear shocks to track track ripples, yielding supreme mechanical grip.
-
Reduced Braking Distances: Less rotating kinetic energy means your braking system stops the bike faster with less physical effort and decreased brake fade.
-
Decreased Rider Fatigue: Lowering the gyroscopic effect minimizes the muscle power required to maneuver the bike, keeping you sharp during grueling race sessions.
