DescriptionThe whole story▼
Machined from a solid billet of aerospace-grade aluminium 7075-T6, the Hesterberg-Cad/Cam Racing top triple clamp for the Kawasaki ZX-10 R (2016–2020) is the kind of component that separates a serious trackbike build from a modified road machine. Its clean anodised finish, engraved torque markings and purpose-designed geometry speak to a manufacturer with deep roots in precision CNC fabrication — producing race hardware that looks as purposeful as it performs.
Key Features
- Full CNC-machined construction from aluminium 7075-T6 for exceptional strength-to-weight ratio — approx. 0.459 kg finished weight
- Enlarged clamp area over the fork tubes to reduce fork flex under hard braking and corner entry
- Precision-bored fork clamps for a true, rattle-free fit on the ZX-10 R's fork legs
- Engraved scale on the clip-on mounts allows precise, repeatable clip-on positioning across setup changes
- Torque values engraved directly into the casting — no torque chart required during trackside service
- No ignition lock — purpose-built for trackbike and race conversion use
- Available anodised in black or natural silver finish
Design, Finish and Heritage
Hesterberg-Cad/Cam has built its reputation around supplying precision CNC geometry components to privateer racers and professional teams who cannot afford compromise. This top triple clamp reflects that philosophy at every surface. The anodised finish — available in clean silver or stealth black — is not cosmetic afterthought; anodising hardens the aluminium surface, providing resistance to corrosion, fuel and workshop chemicals that bare alloy cannot match.
The engraved torque specifications are a particularly considered touch. On a race weekend, when time between sessions is short, having the correct bolt torques right there on the component removes one more variable from the equation. Similarly, the engraved clip-on scale transforms what is normally a trial-and-error process into a documented, repeatable setup procedure — invaluable when switching between riders or reverting to a known baseline after testing.
Front-End Stability Where It Matters
The engineering brief behind this triple clamp centres on one goal: reducing unwanted compliance in the front end. The enlarged clamp surface increases contact area against the fork legs, distributing clamping load more evenly and helping to control the micro-flex that can erode feel under heavy braking and during corner entry. Paired with precision-bored fork apertures that fit the ZX-10 R's legs correctly from the first torque, the result is a front end that transmits information rather than absorbing it.
For riders working on braking references, turn-in response and overall front-end confidence, this is exactly the kind of detail that makes lap-time improvements reproducible rather than accidental.
Track-Only Configuration
The ignition lock is omitted entirely, reflecting a deliberate choice to optimise the clamp for race and trackday use rather than compromise the design around road-legal requirements. This makes it ideally suited to dedicated trackbikes and full race conversions of the ZX-10 R and ZX-10 RR.
Please note: this triple clamp carries no TÜV approval and no ABE (German type approval). It is intended exclusively for closed-circuit, track use and must not be used on public roads.
