LighTech Rearsets Yamaha YZF-R7 (2021-2026) R Version - FTRYA018R

The LighTech FTRYA018R rearsets give your Yamaha YZF-R7 a genuine upgrade in daily rideability — adjustable positioning, smooth folding footpegs, and precision-machined pivot points that make every commute or weekend blast feel more connected and composed. Whether you're threading through traffic or pushing on at a trackday, the R version delivers a level of fit and finish that justifies every penny.

Key Features

• CNC-machined from a single billet of Ergal 7075-T6 aluminium for outstanding rigidity at minimal weight
• Three sealed ball bearings per lever eliminate play and deliver precise, consistent feel under hard braking and gear changes
• Folding silver footpegs and toepegs absorb minor impacts without damage, protecting both rider and hardware
• Carbon heel guards provide grip and protection exactly where your boots meet the rearset
• Titanium fasteners throughout reduce unsprung weight and resist corrosion over long-term use
• Red anodised footpeg carriers add a purposeful racing aesthetic that complements the R7's bodywork
• Adjustable in height and fore-aft position to suit your riding style, whether road or circuit

Build Quality and Engineering

LighTech machines the FTRYA018R from Ergal 7075-T6, a high-tensile aluminium alloy widely used in motorsport for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio. Unlike multi-piece welded assemblies, each carrier is milled from a single billet, removing any potential weak points at joints. The three-bearing pivot arrangement per lever is the detail that separates this set from budget alternatives — load is distributed evenly, so the feel remains precise whether you're dabbing the rear brake gently in slow traffic or stamping hard on the peg mid-corner on circuit.

Titanium hardware is used throughout instead of steel, shaving grams from the assembly and completely eliminating the rust risk that affects steel fasteners over a British winter. The carbon heel guards are a practical inclusion rather than a cosmetic afterthought, giving the sole of your boot a textured surface to register against under load.

Road and Track Versatility

The R version of the FTRYA018R is equally at home on a Sunday road ride and a trackday circuit. Height and rearward adjustment allows you to dial in a natural, relaxed position for longer road miles or switch to a more aggressive tuck for circuit use without changing the hardware. The folding pegs mean a grounding incident on a tight hairpin is unlikely to end your day — the peg folds rather than snaps, and you carry on. All individual components are available as spare parts, so a single damaged piece never forces a full replacement set.

The system is also compatible with the LighTech UP&DOWN Support (RFTR244), allowing further fine-tuning of the gear-change action for riders seeking a fully bespoke setup. A complete fitting kit is included in the box, so installation is straightforward with standard workshop tools.
