DescriptionThe whole story▼

Forks and swingarm on a Panigale V4 both end in an axle that sticks out into harm's way. Enter the WAPDU409: nylon outside for elasticity, Ergal inside for strength, 200 g on the scales. It is offered in 2 colours: Black, Red. It is cheaper than the smallest part it is there to save on a Panigale V4.

Key Features

  • Nylon outer body on the WAPDU409: high elasticity, so it absorbs rather than shatters on a Panigale V4
  • Colour choice does not affect the fit of the WAPDU409 on the Panigale V4
  • Built as a wear part: on the Panigale V4 you renew the sliding surface, not the mount
  • Fitting the WAPDU409 to a Panigale V4 is measured in minutes, not hours
  • Anodised to LighTech's standard finish across the whole WAPDU409
  • The screen-printed WAPDU409 shell keeps its marking after the first scuff
  • The WAPDU409 stands proud of the axle nut, which is the whole mechanism

Construction and Material Quality

What touches the ground on the Panigale V4 is nylon, and that is deliberate. Behind the nylon is an Ergal insert that carries the load into the axle. Because the insert is a separate item, a scuffed WAPDU409 is rebuilt rather than replaced.

Fitment and Compatibility

LighTech's fitment for the WAPDU409 is the Ducati Panigale V4 across 2018 to 2026. No modification to the Panigale V4 is involved — the standard points take the kit.

The Idea Behind It

Protection here is a matter of millimetres — the slider has to reach past the axle nut. LighTech's answer on the WAPDU409 is a two-material build: nylon that flexes, Ergal that holds. A scuffed WAPDU409 is renewed at the insert, not at the kit, which is the point.

Fitting

The WAPDU409 arrives complete; no separate fastener order is required for the Panigale V4. Thread-locking compound is sensible on a Panigale V4 that sees track use. 2 colour options exist for the WAPDU409; Black, Red all bolt to the Panigale V4 identically.

Supplied As

One WAPDU409 box covers both ends of the Panigale V4 — there is no separate front or rear part number. The packaging lists the WAPDU409 reference, so a second order for the same Panigale V4 is unambiguous.

Approval and Road Use

The WAPDU409 arrives without approval paperwork, and we do not present it as approved. For a Panigale V4 with a registration plate, the fitted position is worth clarifying in advance. For a track-only Panigale V4 there is nothing to clarify.
