Read all about the available finishes and colors in this blog about BST carbon wheels

Please note: you are ordering a 5.5x18" wheel. Check whether this fits your setup, as these wheels are produced to order and therefore cannot be returned.

All available sizes can be found in the Collection for your motorcycle; all available sizes are listed further down in this description.

The carbon wheel that combines strength, design and personalization

🔧 Key features:

• Unique design – where Twin TEK stays true to the OEM look, the Torque TEK is distinctive and bold
• Up to 60% lighter than OEM wheels – faster acceleration, shorter braking distances and easier steering
• Specially developed for Harley-Davidson – built for the weight and forces of heavy V-Twins
• Fully tested – TÜV, JASO, DOT E and JWL
• Autoclave-produced prepreg carbon – maximum strength and structural integrity

Torque TEK: distinctive and powerful

The BST Torque TEK is the counterpart to the more understated Twin TEK. While Twin TEK has an OEM+ design, the Torque TEK makes a bold statement with its distinctive design. This wheel was developed for riders who want not only performance, but also want to make a statement with their motorcycle. The striking spoke design gives every Harley a modern and aggressive look.

Weight: OEM vs. Torque TEK

OEM Harley-Davidson wheels are heavy. For example, a "3.5 x 19” Enforcer front wheel weighs approximately 11.2 kg. The BST Torque TEK version weighs just 3.5–3.8 kg. The rear wheels are also considerably lighter: an OEM "5.5 x 16” weighs around 11–12 kg, while the BST "5.5 x 18” Torque TEK weighs just 4.3 kg. This means a weight saving of up to 60%.

Technology & production

Like other BST models, the Torque TEK is manufactured from prepreg carbon fiber, which is cured in an autoclave under high pressure and temperature. The hubs are made of CNC-machined aluminum (6082 T6), accurate to one-hundredth of a millimeter. The result is a wheel that is not only lighter, but also stronger and more durable than OEM.

Safety and certifications

The Torque TEK meets all strict standards: TÜV, JASO, DOT E and JWL. This makes the wheels suitable for everyday use, long touring rides, and even track days. Each wheel is individually tested.

Fitment & installation

The Torque TEK is a direct OEM replacement. This means no major modifications are required. OEM brake discs and TPMS sensors fit directly. When ordering, it is important to always check that you select the correct wheel size for your Harley model and model year. We are happy to advise you.

Available sizes

The BST Torque TEK rear wheel is available in the following sizes:

• 5.5" x 18"

• 4.5" x 17"

• 5.0" x 16"

• 6.0" x 17"
  

Always check that the selected size fits your motorcycle and any conversions.

Style & personalization

In addition to performance, the Torque TEK is also about style. Its distinctive design is available in various carbon structures and finishes. This lets you choose a timeless look or a unique custom appearance.

Carbon structures

• Twill carbon – classic diagonal pattern, recognizable as pure motorsport.
  
• Forged carbon – marble-like pattern, exclusive and modern.
  

Finishes: Glossy, Satin, and Matte

• Glossy – deep high gloss with maximum shine and reflection.
  
• Satin – the OEM “matte” look of Ducati Performance, MV Agusta, and BMW HP. Semi-matte, silky.
  
• Matte – ultra-matte, without reflection. Stealthy and uncompromising.
  

Color options with ink lacquer

The Torque TEK is supplied as standard in bare carbon (without a color tint), but can also be ordered with color-tinted ink lacquer. The transparent lacquer keeps the carbon visible while adding an extra dimension. Available in Twill or Forged, and finished in Glossy, Satin, or Matte.

• Blue – cool and high-tech.
  
• Green – fresh and eye-catching.

Maintenance and warranty

Every Torque TEK wheel comes with a 2-year manufacturer's warranty. Maintenance is simple: cleaning with a soft cloth and mild soap is sufficient. Avoid aggressive products to preserve the finish.
