BST Carbon Fibre Wheels for Ducati 899 Panigale 2014> onwards Road & RaceRef: BSTPN899 The BEST modification you will ever make ...a set of BST Wheels is the easiest and most beneficial all-round performance modification you can make to your bike.
Simply fit your standard discs and tyres, install your wheels and you're away.
Included from HPS with your direct replacement BST Wheels:
- All Required Spacers & Bearings pre-installed
- CNC-Machined Sprocket Carrier
- Cush Drive & Drive Pins
- Rear Sprocket (standard/stock, or your choice of alternative size and chain pitch)
Found as standard on such diverse bikes as the most expensive Ducati ever made - the Superleggera - through to the unique Ariel Ace, BST wheels are the standard against which all others are judged for strength, durability and lightness, for both road and race use. Manufactured in a single moulding operation using a unique aerospace process to produce a wheel thats far stronger than any standard or magnesium wheel - but much lighter too (up to 50% lighter than standard wheels) - with BST you can be sure youll have a product which is the result of decades of research, development, testing and certification by worldwide industry bodies, including TÜV.
"Non-believers say carbon wheels can’t possibly make any difference on the road, but I couldn’t disagree more.
These BSTs have a tangibly positive impact on every mile you ride, even on the motorway. Of course there’s the improvement they make to handling, but the benefits don’t stop there. Mid-range delivery rolling on in 4th, 5th and 6th is massively improved as the engine has less inertia to conquer, and you need less gearbox-dancing for overtakes.
They’re durable, the finish doesn’t tarnish, and I love how subtle they are."

"...the difference in ride quality on the road and track is marked. At speed the light wheels make the bike feel lighter and easier to turn. They give you an improved feeling for what the tyres are doing, which in turn gives you the confidence to lean further and carry more corner speed."
"Within just a couple of corners it’s crystal clear the carbon wheels make a big difference. Suddenly the 899 is even easier to get around the track and you can feel the tyres digging their claws into the tarmac even deeper."
" ...for a trackday rider they’ll make your bike less tiring to ride during the course of the day. And, as Richard found out, road riders will benefit from their lightweight charms, too. Plus, at the end of the day, they’re simply undeniably cool."

"..the effect these high quality, lightweight wheels will have on your 899 Panigale is dramatic."

"Absolutely awesome I wasn’t expecting that much of a transformation! ...the wheels, I’m speechless, absolutely changed the whole feel and the dynamics of it, it’s just amazing I can’t believe the transformation of the bike. Awesome, there's no other word to describe it.
It’s turned it into a 250 now - it’s just incredible, the precision of it even at speed, absolutely put it down to the millimetre where you want it - no effort… before that it was heavy and you had to work it around corners. Even at slower speeds and just on any ride, 'A' roads, big fast sweepers, doesn’t matter what you are doing, they've just absolutely transformed it.
I was always really suspicious with all the hype about carbon fibre wheels and what you read about it but, no, completely as it says. It’s a shame I never discovered this years ago to be honest!"

"In regards to how different it feels, it's night and day, it handles so much better now, brakes harder, accelerates faster but most of all turns even at high speed with minimal effort. The bike is easier to ride now and feels much more like the 748R I had with magnesium wheels. Best mod ever I would say!"
James H, Singapore Ducati 899 Panigale 2014 |
"I'm one of the lucky ones who had a chance to fit a set of these BSTs on my 899 too. Fair to say that these wheels transform the bike entirely as one cannot believe, for the better of course. After ridding 3000kms on the stock wheels before installed the BSTs including road and track the transformation the BSTs cause is dramatic as the engine runs a lot smoother with a huge increase in torque and power, you can simply feel how the engine runs better and also sounds better.
I was quite reluctant spending a huge amount of money for a set of wheels but now I can just say that it's worth it. I highly recommend it to any one. Just do it and it will bring a huge smile on your face."

"When they arrived I was like a kid at Christmas, I couldn’t believe how light they are and the fit and finish was excellent. The overall weight saving was 9.4Kg! Fitment was straight forward and I was amazed that after the Pirelli SuperCorsas were wrapped around them they needed absolutely no balancing.
The moment I got to the first bend you could really feel a massive difference. After that I started to push on and wow, what a difference, suddenly it’s like riding a 250 with 130Bhp! The throttle response is very impressive – it now accelerates in 5th like it used to in third. I didn’t think the 899 could be any more flickable than it already was, but it drops into bends even quicker than before and changes direction in a flash! What is the most impressive is the way it now soaks up the bumps and seems more stable when the roads get crap. I did think at one point, could they really be as good as you read and are told? Answer – yes they are, and even better than you could imagine. Don’t spend 2.5k on an exhaust, get a set of these, they really do make that much difference. "
