Loverly, worth £2k on a road bike - probably not. There are much better things to spend £2k that will offer a bigger improvement in your bikes handling and/or speed but they don't look as cool as a pair of BST's.

Thats an odd comment swanny ? Everything i've read about carbon wheels says that they are superb value for money as to get the equivalent peformance gains from the engine or suspension you'd have to spend way more......??

Yes, but to the average biker they don't really make sense over say buying a second bike, do they?

Hi,

I have fitted a set of BST carbon wheels to my 996SPS this week and so far so good. Its difficult to say how much they have changed the bike on their own as I also added an EVR airbox and Akrapovic 60mm evo system among other things at the same time.
