FAQ BST SUPERMOTARD WHEELS

Status - On Order     Price - $4799.00 inc GST

Q: Why are these BST carbon Supermoto wheels so much faster than the usual Supermoto wheels?

A: The reason for that can be found in the combination of saving weight, minimizing the moment of inertia, reducing the gyroscopic effect and the radius of gyration.

*
Weightsaving:
It is a known fact that saving weight on the UNsprung mass ( wheels, brakediscs etc) offers more performance advantage than saving weight on the sprung (any other ?non rotating?) mass.
A known formula in racing is the ?factor of eight? ie it requires 32 kgs ?normal? weight saving to obtain similar performance advantage than saving 4kgs of weight on a set of wheels will provide !
Our wheels show weight advantages of up to 5 kgs a set ! Do your math ...
*
Moment of inertia:
The energy required to start a wheel turning increases with the weight of the wheel, which applies also to stopping the wheel from turning. It may be clear that a low moment of enertia is of great advantage to accelaration and braking. That?s why it feels like you have more HP accelerating with our wheels on .
*
Gyroscopic effect:
Saving weight on a wheel means less gyroscopic effect! It is difficult to make a spinning wheel change direction. The lighter the wheel the easier itis to change direction. Therefore the lightweight Goldspeed BST carbon wheels have immense impact on the handling of the bike. Easy to flick from side to side and unbelieveable ?tight? lines are finally possible .
*
Radius of Gyration:
The total weight is spread over the complete wheel. It does matter, however, where the weight is located. The closer the weight turns around the centre of the wheel the better the handling becomes. Almost 80% of the total weight of our wheels is located around the hub section. An extremely good radius of gyration.
*
Combination of characteristics:
It might be clear that one charateristic reinforces the other one, and it is the combination of the above that provide the performance advantage that these wheels do.
Once a rider is used to the wheels and knows how to benefit from all these advantages, you will be able to improve laptimes up to 1 sec. faster !
Besides this, many riders confirm an increase of grip. This is no doubt the result of the reduced centrifugal force when ?leaned in?. Also the stiffness has its advantage. An extremely ?flexing? wheel will result in a constantly changing Tyre contact patch, resulting in less predictable handling.

Q: Why carbon fibre wheels?

A: Looking at the alternative: of all metals, magnesium has the highest strength to weight ratio, beaten only by carbon fibre. Besides this, magnesium is subject to fatigue and will lead to serious cracking if not replaced in time. Generally it?s accepted that magnesium racing wheels are to be replaced at least every season ! Too much disadvantages in our opinion to use this material for developing ultralight Supermoto competition wheels.
Carbon fibre is not subject to fatigue at all and will last a lifetime. And above all, the latest knowledge and innovation on the way of constructing and the use of carbon materials, made it possible to create ultralight wheels for the even highly demanding Supermoto racing and still guarantee the required benefits.
It was never the question IF we could build carbon fibre Supermoto competition wheels, but a question of HOW to build them maintaining the perfect balance between performance advantage and rider safety!

Q: Can the BST carbon wheels be used tubeless ?

A: Yes they can ! Our carbon wheels have been tested to the extreme, tubeless ! Even exhausting destructive tests (tubeless jumping / landing on the hardest MX tracks throughout Europe) did not cause any problems. All, by now literally abused, test wheels are still used weekly in training and racing !
