Carbon wheels are safe.
Did you know that the Airbus A380, the world's largest passenger aircraft, is now in service in Japan, surpassing the Boeing 747?It's a modern airliner.Carbon composites are used for the primary structure that supports the A380 airframe structure.The safety standards for aircraft parts are much different from those for ground vehicles.BST carbon wheels are made to that quality standard.(BlackStoneTek is an ex-military helicopter parts manufacturer.) Although street-spec BST wheels are lighter in weight than various light alloy wheels, they are not "shaved down to the limit for strength balance" but are "light enough" for sufficient safety factor. It is "lightness with a margin" considering sufficient safety factor.Since the specific strength is more than twice that of aluminum or magnesium, carbon wheels can be made lighter (thinner).It passes the Japanese JWL standard and is compatible with vehicle inspections, so it can of course be used on public roads.It is also natural to pass the German TUV standard and the American DOT standard, which are even stricter than the Japanese JWL standard, because they are made according to the technical standards of the aircraft industry.
Carbon wheels are safe.
Magical Racing has been testing the implementation of the BST carbon wheels on our project bike, Precious Gamma, since 2005, for about 5 years.During that time, we experienced several crashes and course outs, but there were no problems, and we confirmed that Magical Racing could repair gravel scratches and other problems.We do not just import as a trading company, but we also deliver products with a system that allows us to provide sufficient customer support through our many years of experience in carbon materials and close cooperation with BST.
Not only lightweight, but also athletic performance
BST wheels can reduce the weight of the undercarriage by 40-60%, but more importantly, they reduce the inertia weight.It will be a serious factor in the movement of the motorcycle.It is not "light but weak (unstable)" because it is obtained by the ultimate strength and weight balance (not losing the rim strength while reducing the weight) with the carbon composite manufacturing technology.Lighter wheels mean more than just a reduction in vehicle weight, they also bring significant performance benefits.How Athletic Performance and Values Are Affected by Actual Performance.As you know, the power to rotate the wheel is generated by the engine of the motorcycle.The less energy is required to rotate the wheel, the more energy is available to accelerate the wheel.As a result, the acceleration of the wheel is higher and the maximum speed of the bike is higher.
Carbon wheels break, don't they?
"That's not true.Rather, they are stronger than metal wheels..." "But I remember that the wheel of Spencer's NSR500 broke and caused a big accident..." "Hi.The carbon wheels of the NSR500, which first appeared in the World GP, were Comstar wheels and looked like this.The broken part in question is the connection between the rim and the spokes.The rim was not cracked by the impact from the road, nor was it cracked by the removal of the tire.It happened at the Kyalami circuit in South Africa in 1984.Later, it was New Zealand's Brittain V1000 that brought carbon wheels to motorcycle racing.The full original V-Twin racer that appeared like a comet in the Battle of the Twins at Daytona in the U.S.A. and defeated the best of the best to win was equipped with not only the characteristic carbon bodywork, but also the front fork, swingarm, and front and rear wheels. The front fork, swing arm and front and rear wheels were also fitted with carbon composite wheels.Garry Turner, the founder and current president of BST (Black Sooton Tech), was an international racer himself and a good friend of John Brittain of Brittain Motorcycles, and was the team manager in charge of the European rounds when Brittain competed in World Superbike. When Britten competed in World Superbike, he was the team manager in charge of the European rounds.(Garry also owned a Brittain V1000 which is still stored at Brittain MC in NZ) After the Brittain project was finished, Garry returned to South Africa to design, develop and market the BST carbon wheel with an engineer working in the aircraft/military industry. and marketing of the BST carbon wheel.The factory of Black Stone Tech is located 10 minutes away from Kyalami circuit by car.
