You can see what is so attractive about a set of white “cans” by looking at the attached photos. Although the shoes look like typical Czech winter boots, they are an impressive piece of history. If we want to go back to the beginning, we have to go to the Japanese tuner scene of the early 80s.
At that time, Bridgestone Super RAP Evo wheels were developed for sports cars participating in rally competitions or for various gymkhans. Although it doesn’t look like it at first glance, it was originally a set of two-piece 13 and 14 inch aluminum wheels, with fifteen more added a few years later.
And what is their magic? While a classic cast wheel with a spoke design would clog the braking system with dirt and mud when riding off-road, this shoe prevents that but also manages to dissipate heat thanks to the many circular holes around the circumference. After all, it is a great ratio of performance to minimal weight, according to the manufacturer. However, a 13-inch disc only weighed three and a half kilograms.

The historical brochure shows different bicycle variants.
However, over time, the Super RAP Evo wheels became increasingly popular due to their original aesthetics and therefore began to appear on vehicles that had nothing to do with racing. For example on typical Japanese kei cars.
Even today, tuner shoes are still one of the most sought-after goods and can most often be found on old sports models from Mazda and Toyota. And the Bridgestone brand has great news for anyone interested: If you want these bikes, you no longer have to look for them at second-hand bazaars. It’s officially back in production!

And this is what the modern edition looks like. Nowadays, bicycles are one-piece.
So far there are only 15 discs to choose from in multiple specifications for different cars. You can pay from CZK 6,400 for one disc, so the set will cost CZK 25,600. In the future, the range will be supplemented by an even smaller and cheaper version. You can only buy the reborn bikes in the white color that made them famous back then. You can order now, the first pieces will appear with owners in February next year.
