BST GP TEK on the Bus for the Street?

[Flows]

Hi folks, has anyone been brave enough to run the BST GP TEKs on the street or are we too concerned by the low radial impact ratings?
Those things are even lighter than the unobtanium Thyssenkrupp spun carbon items which is saying something..

The GP TEKs have by far the best torsional and cornering ratings but just low in the radial impact..

Well I guess it might have to be me!
I have ordered the Ohlins, and getting shipping quotes for the carbon body work, I'll also give it a diet of Ti. But I do take wifey on the back and we are 150kg geared together. I also have a Givi V58 top box and we do like the bouncy back roads of New Zealand.. when I am not on the track.
@ROADTOAD1340, would you do it or should I just stick to the Mamba 7 TEKs which look by far the best for bumps?

Or meet in the middle with the Diamonds perhaps?

The GP Tek weight wise are very desirable for sure bro , but , I would personally go one of the other options . If you was building a roll race streeter , a solo , smooth road racer , then why not , but not a carver , ridden in less than perfect street roads and then , also occassional 2 up . I went 7 tek on my H2 recently , they are the only option from BST , but you are given good options on the BST types . If I was going another carbon wheel set tho , I would consider Rotbox bullit forged carbon wheels . I dont like them in single side arm fitment as much as conventional tho . Your bike is another build I am looking forward to you finishing and us viewing .

Thanks bud, the Rotobox I thought were a bit on the heavy side but looking at them again the weight included bearings spacers and fasteners etc.

Hmm well I have the bst carbons and I love them. UT changes the whole wieght issue and stearing

 

[Flows]

Which ones do you have @toncrell?

It looks like BST weights are without hardware and Rotobox is included.

 

[toncrell]

I'll check soon as I get home but I know Chris more has a video on the ones I have and he did the wieght comparison

 

[toncrell]

Plus BST gives you color options if that matters

 

[toncrell]

Ok just got home and I have the rapid tek rims check moormafia.com for the wieghts tho

I got the JASO T203-85 results back from Rotobox on the Bullet, see attached. Updated the table.
A good option for bumpy roads but stick with the BST GPs for the race track is how I read it.
I don't know what BST are talking about with their 'Cornering' value. Rotary torque cycles is the only other T203-85 test I can see.
