LighTech Swingarm Axle Nut Honda CBR 1000 RR (2008–2016) D018

When every gram and every tenth of a second counts on track, the LighTech swingarm axle nut for the Honda CBR 1000 RR (2008–2016) delivers exactly the kind of precision engineering that separates race-prepared machinery from the rest. Machined from Ergal 7075 aluminium — the aerospace-grade alloy favoured in motorsport for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio — this is a direct, no-compromise upgrade for riders who demand race-spec componentry on every corner of their CBR.

Key Features

• Ergal 7075 aluminium construction: aerospace-grade alloy offering maximum structural integrity at minimum weight
• CNC-machined to tight tolerances for a precise, rattle-free fit and consistent clamping force
• Hard anodised finish resists corrosion, track grime and abrasion while delivering an unmistakably purposeful look
• Rated to a maximum tightening torque of 130 Nm — engineered for the demands of sustained track use
• Available in five anodised colours with individual part numbers, making identification and team colour-coding straightforward

Race Engineering in a Single Component

LighTech has built its reputation by applying the material science and manufacturing discipline of professional racing to parts that are often overlooked. The swingarm axle nut is a case in point: the standard steel item carries unnecessary mass and offers no adjustment in appearance. The D018 replaces it with a component that has been CNC-turned from a solid billet of Ergal 7075, the same aluminium alloy series used in aircraft structures and Formula 1 suspension components. The result is a part that is dramatically lighter than its steel counterpart without any reduction in the torque rating that matters at circuit speeds.

The thread specification — M22x1.5 — matches the Honda OEM fitment exactly, and the 32 mm hex diameter is sized for standard race toolkit spanners. The 130 Nm maximum tightening torque gives a clear, safe working limit for pit-lane tyre changes and wheel rebuilds. On track days and race weekends, small savings add up; fitting the D018 across your suspension hardware is the disciplined approach to shedding rotational and unsprung mass without touching the geometry your suspension setup depends on.

Road-Legal Refinement, Race-Ready Attitude

The D018 is equally at home on a road-going CBR 1000 RR used for weekend blasts. The hard anodised surface is durable enough to withstand road contamination, brake dust and the heat cycles that build around a rear axle over thousands of kilometres. Choose a colour that matches your bike's livery — black for stealth, gold for a classic race look, red to accent Honda's factory palette, silver for a clean OEM-plus finish, or cobalt blue for a standout contrast.
