How much safer are Carbon Fiber wheels than standard wheels?
Carbon Fiber wheels have been in existence for some considerable time and have been proven to be safe when designed and manufactured properly and, as with any wheel, used within their design parameters. • V2: Motorcycle Metal’s HD/V2 wheels have design parameters for the maximum static weight of the motorcycle for which the wheels are designed (BlackStone Tek wheels are designed for motorcycles that weigh up to a total of 550 Kilograms wet! That translates to 1,212.542 442 017 pounds • Sport Bike: One of the parameters is the maximum static weight of the sport type motorcycle for which the wheels are designed (BlackStone Tek wheels are designed for motorcycles that weigh up to 280kg dry) and have more than adequate strength and damage tolerance for any usage within a road/street, sport or race environment. Safety is dependent on more than just strength, though, and whenever a bike becomes more easily controllable because of better dynamic characteristics, active safety is enhanced too.
