Another World First from BST – a dedicated full carbon wheel for the Adventure bike market.
Starting with the BMW RS1200GS and BMW RS1250GS models, these wheels weigh in at a remarkable 7.5kg (16.5 lbs) per set. By reducing the unsprung weight by 38% (4.5kg) the wheels offer unsurpassed control and comfort on both the road and trail.
AV TEK wheels add value to the Adventure machines – light enough to astonish on the road, and strong enough to deal with the rigors of the offroad adventure. Designed to optimize performance, they are the world’s first carbon fiber adventure wheels, and epitomize Technology made Beautiful.
THE FIRST AND ONLY MONOCOQUE WHEEL OF COMPLEX PRE-PREG CARBON FIBER STRUCTURE CURED IN A SINGLE PROCESS
This new range of wheels was developed to meet aftermarket motorcycle wheel demands of Blackstone TEK. This range includes two sizes of composite wheels specially designed for adventure motorcycles.
Each wheel has a unique serial number. To ensure that every wheel meets the stringent quality requirements, a 100% inspection rate will be implemented along the AV Tek range. The following inspections are performed on every wheel:• Visual cosmetic inspection• Dimensional and ETRTO profile inspection. The wheel designs are characterized to ensure that the performance requirements set in the initial phase are met. These include weight, bending stiffness, and rotational inertia.These wheels are designed to meet the JWL test standard. The maximum static load rating on the front wheel is 205 kg and offset rear wheel is 300 kg. This is calculated from the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) of the 2019 – 2023 BMW R 1250 GS
