The power of less weight
The BST Panther TEK was developed for riders who want to get the most out of their BMW R1250R Exclusive. The rear wheel, weighing just 3.81 kg, replaces the original BMW wheel weighing approx. 10.5–11 kg. This saves over 7 kg of rotating mass – exactly where every gram counts. Less mass means faster acceleration, smoother shifting and agility you can feel immediately on every ride.

High-end carbon technology from racing
Each Panther TEK wheel is manufactured from prepreg carbon fibre, cured under high pressure and temperature in an autoclave. This creates a homogeneous and extremely strong wheel with perfect fibre orientation and minimal resin content. The hub is CNC-machined from 6082-T6 aluminium and connects directly to the original BMW Paralever system.
