The gloss-lacquered finish protects the carbon weave and gives the Aprilia RSV4 the uncompromising track aesthetic its V4 engine demands.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenuine carbon fibre construction — not a carbon-look vinyl or ABS shell — providing a real reduction in unsprung weight over the OEM plastic panel.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAutoclave production process: high-pressure, high-temperature curing produces a denser, more dimensionally stable laminate than standard hand-layup components, with fewer voids and consistent fibre alignment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGloss lacquer top coat protects the weave from UV degradation, fuel splash and stone chips while preserving the premium visual finish.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrecision-moulded to OEM mounting points for a direct, tool-minimal installation with no drilling or modification required.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for road and track use — the autoclave laminate withstands the thermal and vibrational loads generated by the RSV4's inline V4 powerplant.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart number CARA3080 (Glossy) ensures you are ordering the correct finish variant for your build.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBuild Quality \u0026amp; Materials\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eLighTech sources aerospace-grade carbon fibre fabric and cures each panel in an industrial autoclave, the same process used in Formula 1 bodywork production. The result is a component with an exceptionally high fibre-to-resin ratio, translating into a part that is simultaneously lighter and stiffer than the standard polymer tank protector. The gloss clear coat is applied after curing, sealing the weave and preventing micro-cracking of the resin surface over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eRoad \u0026amp; Track Use\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor road riders, the lower tank guard adds a distinctive racing aesthetic without altering ergonomics or requiring any permanent modification. On track, where every gram counts and panel durability matters, the autoclave carbon construction provides the confidence to run the RSV4 hard knowing the part will not delaminate or warp under sustained high-speed stress. Care is straightforward: use only mild, pH-neutral cleaning agents on the gloss surface — avoid solvent-based products that can attack the lacquer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFitment \u0026amp; Compatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAprilia RSV4 (2009–2020)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAprilia RSV4 1100 Factory (2009–2020)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAprilia RSV4 R (2009–2020)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAprilia RSV4 RR (2009–2020)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAprilia RSV4 RF (2009–2020)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eAttribute\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLighTech\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePart number\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCARA3080\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGenuine carbon fibre\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eManufacturing process\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAutoclave curing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFinish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGloss lacquer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePosition\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLower tank guard\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFitment\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAprilia RSV4 \/ RSV4 1100 Factory \/ R \/ RR \/ RF (2009–2020)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIntended use\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRoad and track\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"LighTech","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53168709730570,"sku":"CARA3080","price":31600.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7831\/0410\/files\/CARA3080.png?v=1780811915","url":"https:\/\/inter-pace.com\/en-in\/products\/lightech-carbon-lower-tank-guard-aprilia-rsv4-rsv4-1100-factory-r-rr","provider":"Inter-Pace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
