LighTech R Rearset Kit Kawasaki ZX-6R / 636 / RR (2005–2026) FTRKA008R – CNC Ergal 7075-T6 with Carbon Heelguards

The LighTech FTRKA008R R rearset is the flagship footpeg assembly for Kawasaki ZX-6R, 636 and RR riders who refuse to compromise on safety, structural integrity or racing aesthetics. CNC-machined from a single billet of Ergal 7075-T6 aluminium, every component is engineered to meet the demands of both demanding track days and daily road use — with the precision and confidence that only certified, race-proven hardware can deliver.

Key Features

• Machined from a solid billet of Ergal 7075-T6 high-tensile aluminium for maximum rigidity with minimal added weight
• Folding silver footpegs and toepegs that retract cleanly on contact and spring back reliably — reducing injury risk in the event of a slide
• Carbon heelguards that are both ergonomically shaped and heat-resistant, protecting your boots from exhaust heat during sustained track sessions
• Titanium fasteners throughout — corrosion-resistant, ultralight, and built to stay torqued under racing vibration
• Red anodised footpeg holders that identify this as the premium R variant at a glance, distinguishing it from the standard version
• Levers supported by up to three ball bearings each, ensuring play-free, precise brake and shift feel in all conditions
• Multiple adjustable positions in height and setback, plus compatibility with the UP and DOWN support bracket RFTR244 for further customisation

Build Quality and Safety Engineering

What separates the R variant from LighTech's standard rearset is not merely cosmetic. The inclusion of titanium fasteners means fatigue and corrosion are effectively eliminated, which is a genuine safety consideration for any machine that sees mixed road and circuit use. The ball-bearing lever pivots — up to three per lever — provide a level of mechanical precision that reduces the risk of missed inputs under stress, whether threshold braking into a hairpin or snapping through a quick-shift sequence on a straight. The carbon heelguards add a further layer of rider protection by shielding the heel and ankle from radiated exhaust heat, an often-overlooked hazard during extended track sessions.

Designed for the Track, Engineered for the Road

This rearset is ideal for road riders with serious racing ambitions, track day enthusiasts who want the look and function of a full race kit without sacrificing street legality, and anyone building a high-specification ZX-6R around the standard gear-change pattern. All individual components are available separately as spare parts, so the investment is protected over the long term. Full mounting hardware is included. Note: this kit is designed exclusively for standard shift pattern and is not compatible with reverse or GP-shift configurations.

Fitment and Compatibility

The LighTech FTRKA008R rearset is a direct-fit replacement for the following models:

• Kawasaki ZX-6R — all variants, 2005 to 2026
