DescriptionThe whole story▼
Born from a direct collaboration with the World Superbike Championship, the Febur FE1459 + FE716 racing swingarm redefines what a bolt-on aluminium chassis component can deliver for the Kawasaki ZX-10 R and ZX-10 RR. Weighing just 6.7 kg in pure aluminium construction, it marries WSBK-proven geometry with the kind of finish and heritage that distinguishes a genuine race department part from an aftermarket approximation.
Key Features
- Co-developed with WSBK factory teams, ensuring the geometry and stiffness balance meet the extreme demands of professional circuit racing.
- Full 100% aluminium construction at a total weight of just 6.7 kg, reducing unsprung and overall mass for sharper turn-in and improved high-speed stability.
- Supplied as a complete, ready-to-fit set — chain tensioner sliders, speed sensor bracket and brake caliper bracket all included from the outset.
- Two rear axle configurations available: 25 mm pin for use with the original wheel, or 28 mm pin for dedicated racing wheels, each delivered with all appropriate hardware.
- Trusted by leading race teams worldwide, Febur's motorsport pedigree is built on decades of competition development and class wins across international championships.
Design, Finish and Heritage
Febur has long been the name in Italian specialist swingarm fabrication, and the FE1459 + FE716 represents the pinnacle of that tradition. The profile is derived directly from the ZX-10 R WSBK programme, retaining the visual language of a works machine while being engineered to accept the original Kawasaki rear wheel via the 25 mm axle variant. The aluminium surface carries the restrained, purposeful aesthetic that defines genuine track hardware — no unnecessary cosmetic additions, just the clean lines of a component designed to function under race conditions at the limit.
Performance and Construction
At 6.7 kg the swingarm delivers a meaningful reduction in both sprung and unsprung mass compared to the factory unit, and because every kilogram removed from the swingarm has a disproportionate effect on chassis response, the gains translate directly into feedback and agility through fast changes of direction. The aluminium specification is not a compromise — it has been chosen and validated through WSBK testing to provide the torsional rigidity required at the power levels and corner speeds the ZX-10 RR generates.
The 28 mm racing wheel variant comes complete with chain tensioner sliders, the 28 mm pin, nut and brake caliper bracket. Note that the original Kawasaki brake caliper is not compatible with this configuration; a racing caliper and appropriate bracket must be used. The 25 mm original-wheel variant includes chain tensioner sliders, the original-wheel bush, speed sensor bracket and brake caliper bracket, making it the preferred choice for track-day riders wishing to retain stock rear wheel and sensor hardware.
Fitment and Compatibility
This swingarm is designed specifically for the following models:
- Kawasaki ZX-10 R — 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020
- Kawasaki ZX-10 RR — 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020
Important: the original Kawasaki brake caliper is not compatible with either swingarm variant. A suitable racing brake caliper and the included bracket must be used. Always verify fitment against your specific build before ordering.
