Carbon Fiber wheels in support of

|
| Triumph riders everywhere
can now benefit from the beautiful, light and extremely effective
BST carbon fiber wheels. Results have been extraordinary, riders have
been delighted. BST thanks the Triumph Rocket III riders group for
their support and help in designing the BST Rocket III wheels, and
especially Walt de Somerville who organised the approach to BST. Thanks
also to the South African riders who gladly loaned their bikes for
measurements and fitments. |

Says Walt
after his test ride on the BST wheels: "First
let me make clear that the handling on my R3 was already much better
than stock, due to the forward mounting of my handlebars, and the
riding position dictated by my rear-rear sets.
The CF wheels have further improved the handling of my R3 way beyond
my expectations. I am VERY, VERY impressed with the huge differences
they have made in much lighter & quicker steering, improved acceleration,
way better braking, and all-round sheer ride-ability. Everything about
the bike is more sensitive... steering, throttle, brakes, and body
weight shift. I do not exaggerate one bit when I say that the bike
now handles as if it were 100 lbs lighter. My R3 now weighs in at
660 lbs... but handles like a 560 lb sportbike.
In conjunction with the stickier Pirelli ribber, my R3 now is "flickable".
It may not flick side to side quite as fast as my BMW K1200S, but
it's damned close. This is due entirely to the CF wheels, as it would
never approach this level of handling before. The differences in the
bike are as great as adding TuneBoy with 3 filters and Jars, or as
in installing a SuperCharger. The reduction in unsprung weight makes
that big of a change to the character of the bike!!!
I'm sure there'll be many out there that won't believe me, but quite
honestly, I'm FKN amazed at the difference. I can only say, wait for
more reports by others... or try it yourself." |
