DescriptionThe whole story▼
A direct, precision-engineered upgrade over the factory plastic and steel arrangement, the Hesterberg-Cad/Cam chain impact guard fits every Aprilia RSV4 variant from 2009 through to 2026. Machined from aerospace-grade aluminium 7075-T6, it slots cleanly into the existing frame architecture so installation is straightforward and the result is a noticeably cleaner, more purposeful drivetrain area.
Key Features
- Fits the full Aprilia RSV4 family — RSV4, RSV4 1100 Factory, R, RR and RF — across model years 2009 to 2026
- CNC-machined from aluminium 7075-T6 for a significant step up in rigidity and finish over the OEM plastic and steel item
- Integrated cable-tie routing point keeps the gear-position sensor cable neatly secured and out of harm's way
- Retains full compatibility with the original frame abrasion protector, so no additional modifications are required
- Available in natural or black anodised finish to complement both stock and custom RSV4 builds
- Lightweight at approximately 0.169 kg — an upgrade that adds quality without adding mass
A Better Solution Than the Factory Part
The OEM item does a functional job, but on a high-specification superbike it can look and feel like an afterthought. Hesterberg-Cad/Cam have re-engineered the chain impact guard from the ground up using CNC machining and a solid billet of aluminium 7075-T6. The result is a component that matches the mechanical seriousness of the RSV4 itself — precise tolerances, a consistent anodised surface and a form that genuinely belongs on a performance machine.
The guard replaces the original plastic and steel piece entirely. The connection to the factory frame abrasion protector remains compatible, meaning the guard integrates logically into the existing chassis layout without demanding bespoke solutions elsewhere on the bike.
Tidy Cable Routing as Standard
Clean builds live and die by the details, and Hesterberg-Cad/Cam have thought carefully about what happens once the guard is fitted. An integrated mounting point is machined directly into the guard to accept a cable tie, allowing the gear-position sensor cable to be routed and secured in a tidy, professional manner. On a trackday bike or a carefully assembled road RSV4, that kind of considered detail makes the difference between a build that looks finished and one that just looks assembled.
Fitment and Compatibility
This chain impact guard is designed specifically for the following Aprilia RSV4 variants:
- Aprilia RSV4 (2009–2026)
- Aprilia RSV4 R (2009–2026)
- Aprilia RSV4 RR (2015–2026)
- Aprilia RSV4 RF (2015–2026)
- Aprilia RSV4 1100 Factory (2019–2026)
The original frame abrasion protector remains compatible after fitment. Please note that the splash guard cover is no longer compatible once this part is installed.
