Bst Carbon Wheels

[9rrr]

hI ALL THINKING OF GETTING A PAIR OF THE BST CARBON WHEELS TO REPLACE THE STANDARD marchesini brembos fitted on my 996r.

Am I going to see a difference on the road or a track day. What do you guys think. Ive done everthing to the engine that I want to do.

Carbon wheels for the road ??? its generally frowned upon, due to the possibility of damage due to our lovely road surfaces.
You may well see a difference due to the unsprung weight, but spending money on a set of wheels may well be better spent on track days.
there's nothing wrong with the marchecini's.

dont waste your money

don't know if you would notice the difference like you would if going from a set of old 3spokes from the 916 series bikes to carbon
I think the standard 996R wheels are fairly light any way
I use the Dymag carbon items and I love them.
if you can afford them just get them.

Wot Keefer said, you'll really notice a difference I have Marchi' mag on the 888 and Dymag carbon on the SB8. Huge gap.

Difference?

in what way ?

Easier turn, much less gyro. Only down side is more sensitive to side winds
