Advantages  

What will a rider gain from BlackStone Tek’s Carbon Fibre Wheels?
In motorcycle racing the rider is confronted with problems of controlling the motorcycle at speed around corners. Part of this problem stems from the relatively high mass of the wheel which is unsprung weight. Unsprung weight is the most important weight to minimise on a motorcycle, and is particularly significant at high speeds. There are a number of advantages to carbon fibre that ultimately lead to superior handling and machine performance:

Low mass resulting in a lower unsprung mass; faster cornering, later braking, improved acceleration – in all, faster lap times. Imagine the difference you’ll experience from an offset rear wheel that weighs a mere 2.7 kg!
Extra Riding Fun:
• easier riding with less exertion - Lower rotational inertia results in quick and responsive steering with less driver fatigue;
