The rims are produced on the world’s largest carbon fibre braiding machine with a diameter of nine meters. The braiding technology offers substantial benefits compared to conventional carbon production. The seamless braid makes better use of the valuable carbon fiber which increases the material strength and the damage tolerance of the wheels. Thus it is possible to produce the lightest wheels for motorcycles to date.
^^^^ Ooh. I reckon they'd look magic on the Daytona. Would be out of the park price-wise though, and I note they don't make for Triumph. What is interesting though, is that they charge more for the Blade SP2 wheels than for the standard and SP models. Can't understand why, because to the best of my knowledge hubs and rims are the same between all models, as evidenced by @Lozzy 's friend Di having SP2 wheels on her SP.
Only difference is the sensor ring ! Which I'm guessing is for the ABS ? But don't all the 3 versions come equipped with ABS ?
Yes, because since 2016 ABS has been mandatory for new motorcycles over 125cc. And both the SP and SP2 are equipped with the same ECU and Ohlins so there should be no variances necessary.

Thyssenkrupp had an OEM cooperation in order to equip BMW’s most exclusive motorcycle, the HP4 RACE. BMW owns SGL Carbon SE, a Carbon and graphite product manufacturing company. As I have read, BMW produces the "M" carbon wheels. BMW is using carbon wheels in World Superbike. The use of carbon wheels is only possible because the S1000RR is already available from the factory with these wheels. "It is 100 percent the bikes that can be ordered as standard. The bikes come off the production line from Berlin. According to the regulations, only this carbon bike is allowed. The WSBK regulations prohibit the use of accessory bikes made of carbon or magnesium. In addition to the standard wheels, only aluminum rims from the accessories are permitted.
They do look stunning. The cost is still too high for me. Even though they do come with front brake discs included. Amazing wheels.
Bollocks to all that high tech, I've given my nan a pic she says she will have some knitted by Christmas
