BST Rapid TEK Carbon Fiber Wheels for 2021+ Triumph Speed Triple 1200RS & 1200RR
BST Rapid TEK Carbon Fiber Wheels | Triumph Speed Triple 1200RS & 1200RR
Transform your Triumph Speed Triple 1200RS or 1200RR with BST Rapid TEK Carbon Fiber wheels. Reduce unsprung weight by up to 60% for elite-level handling and speed.
Blackstone Tek (BST) brings race-winning technology to Triumph's premier naked and café-racer platforms. The Rapid TEK series is engineered using a unique high-pressure monocoque process that creates a single-piece wheel structure, eliminating the weaknesses inherent in traditional multi-piece or metal wheels.
For the Speed Triple 1200 series, these wheels provide a massive reduction in unsprung rotating mass. The front wheel weighs approximately 6.20 lbs (2.81 kg) and the rear weighs roughly 6.40 lbs (2.90 kg), representing a 40-60% weight saving over factory units. By concentrating the wheel's mass at the hub and utilizing hollow carbon fiber spokes, the Moment of Inertia (MOI) is significantly reduced. This makes the bike feel lighter, more agile, and far more intuitive to rider inputs.
The wheels feature high-pressure forged carbon hub areas and CNC-machined 6082-T6 aluminum inserts for maximum durability. They are a direct "bolt-on" replacement that works with the OEM brake rotors and sensors. Fully DOT and JWL approved, the Rapid TEK wheels are built to withstand the rigors of the street while delivering podium-level performance on the track.
Best Uses:
-
Track Riding & Racing: Drastically reduces lap times by improving corner entry and exit speeds.
-
Performance Street Upgrades: Enhances the flickability of the bike for aggressive canyon carving.
-
Luxury Customization: Provides a high-tech, exotic look that complements the premium finish of the 1200RR/RS.
-
Suspension Optimization: Makes the bike more compliant over bumps by reducing the work required by the shock and forks.
5 Key Features:
-
Monocoque Carbon Fiber Construction: A seamless, single-unit design for unmatched strength and weight savings.
-
5-Split Spoke "Rapid TEK" Design: Slanted, aerodynamic spokes that provide a high-performance, modern aesthetic.
-
High-Pressure Forged Carbon Hubs: Specifically engineered to handle the massive torque of the 1160cc triple engine.
-
Direct OEM Replacement: Designed for a perfect "plug and play" fit with factory spacers and brake components.
-
Ultra-High-Speed (UHS) Valve Stems: Comes standard with 90-degree aluminum valve stems for easy access and stability at speed.
5 Key Benefits:
-
Explosive Acceleration: Lower rotational mass allows the engine to rev more freely and put power to the ground faster.
-
Lighter Handling: Reduced gyroscopic effect makes the motorcycle significantly easier to lean and transition through chicanes.
-
Superior Braking Performance: With less rotating mass to stop, braking distances are shortened and brake fade is reduced.
-
Enhanced Grip & Traction: Lighter wheels allow the suspension to track road irregularities more effectively, keeping the tire in contact with the ground.
-
Reduced Rider Effort: The bike requires less physical input to maneuver, leading to less fatigue during long sessions or tours.
