BST Rapid TEK 17 × 6.0 Rear Wheel – Suzuki GSX-R1000/R (2017–2025)

If you're aiming to unlock the next level of performance on your GSX-R1000/R, the BST Rapid TEK carbon-fiber rear wheel delivers a transformative upgrade that enhances acceleration, stability, and handling in every riding condition—street or track. Engineered using aerospace-inspired carbon construction, this wheel achieves a dramatic weight reduction compared to OEM wheels, translating into sharper response and superior control.

This significant drop in rotating mass directly improves:

Real Performance Gains

·         Stronger acceleration thanks to reduced inertia and lighter rotating mass.

·         Enhanced stability at high speeds.

·         Quicker throttle response when powering out of corners.

·         More efficient suspension performance, improving grip and road feel.

·         Better power transfer for smoother, more controlled launches.

Advanced Engineering

The Rapid TEK rear wheel features a distinctive five-slanted, split-spoke design optimized for stiffness, balance, and reduced rotational resistance. By concentrating mass closer to the hub, the wheel reacts faster to rider inputs and maintains impressive stability under load.
