BST
wheel features:
- Our
unique 5-spoke carbon composite wheel is made using the latest
technology, materials and manufacturing processes. This
lightweight and exceedingly strong wheel is suitable for both
racing and street racing use. The wheels have been tested
at Rim Technology, Eurotype Test Centre and German TUV, and
passed all the tests for road certification. And most important
of all, our wheels are unique in that they are created as a
single unit - we don’t bond pieces together.
- BST
wheels are unique - monocoque (single unit)
design with 5 hollow spokes and are suitable for both street and
race use.
- BST
wheels will save you anything between 40% - 60%
in weight, and more importantly, are designed to deliver the
lowest Moment of Inertia - the critical factor that affects the
performance of the bike.
- Because
we can engineer with carbon fibre and maximise on its properties
of high strength and low weight, we have reduced the weight in
the spokes and rim without compromising strength. The weight is
therefore concentrated in the hub, which means that rotational
inertia is reduced, making the bike easier to handle,
and allowing you to accelerate quicker and brake later. So not
only is the wheel lighter, but it is engineered for maximum
performance.
- The
entire process is managed under ISO9001:2000 standards.
We design the tooling, moulds, wheel and the hubs and
manufacture them onsite. Cutting machines such as those used in
the aeronautical industry ensure that the process is guaranteed
and repeatable to our high standards. Layup is done in a clean
room (dust-free).
- The
wheels are cured in an Autoclave at 125 degrees
C and 6 bar of pressure. This ensures the best compaction and
surface finish.
- Every
step of the process is logged and the entire history
of each wheel is stored with its unique Serial Number.
- The
carbon fibre we use is a woven and
unidirectional format, and is embedded in a resin matrix made
from toughened epoxy. Pre-preg is used as the machine
application of the specific resin systems ensures the most
controlled and even application and therefore the highest
quality material for use in all BST products.
- The
hub is attached to the carbon wheel using a
unique fastening system combining high strength aerospace
fasteners with mechanical locking mechanisms as well as high
strength aerospace adhesive.
