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

The proven carbon upgrade that makes your BMW R1200R lighter, faster and more stylish

🔧 Key features:

• 100% autoclave-produced prepreg carbon – maximum strength and minimum mass
• Up to ~65% lighter than OEM BMW wheels – noticeably more acceleration and agility
• Weight: only approx. 3.81 kg (size 6.0 x 17")
• Compatible with Paralever drive – fits directly onto the original rear axle
• DOT E and JWL approved – tested by BST in accordance with TÜV standards (no TÜV homologation)

The power of less weight

The BST Panther TEK was developed for riders who want to get the most out of their BMW R1200R. The rear wheel, weighing just 3.81 kg, replaces the original BMW wheel weighing approx. 10.5–11 kg. This saves you more than 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 made from prepreg carbon fibre, which is 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 BMW's original Paralever assembly.

Real-world performance

• Up to ~65% weight reduction compared to the original rear wheel
• Faster acceleration and more direct throttle response
• Improved traction due to reduced rotating mass
• Less wear on tyres and drivetrain
• A pure and sporty appearance that matches the BMW DNA

Carbon structures

• Twill carbon – classic diagonally woven pattern, timeless and sporty.
  
• Forged carbon – marble-like effect of broken fibres. A modern, high-tech look that conveys strength.
  

Finishes

• Glossy (high-gloss) – deep, glass-like reflection that brings the carbon to life.
  
• Satin (semi-matte) – OEM-like finish with a subtle sheen, comparable to BMW HP Carbon.
  
• Matte (ultra-matte) – completely matte look without reflection. Stealthy, raw and uncompromising.
  

Colour options with ink coating

For those who want to personalize their BMW, BST offers a range of color-tinted ink coatings. These transparent color layers add a subtle tint to the carbon while keeping the structure fully visible. All colors are available in Twill or Forged carbon, with a Glossy, Satin, or Matte finish.

• Red – sporty and powerful.
  
• Blue – high-tech appearance.
  
• Green – distinctive and fresh.
  
• Gold – luxurious and warm.
  
• Violent Violet – deep purple with a unique glow.
  
• Orange – energetic and vibrant.
  
• Black (ink black) – deep black with visible carbon weave.
  
• Chameleon – color transition from Blue/purple/Green depending on the light.
