LighTech Rear-Configuration Chain Tensioner for Aprilia RSV4 / RR / 1100 Factory (2021-2026) TEAP006

Machined from solid Ergal 7075 aluminium to motorsport tolerances, the LighTech TEAP006 chain tensioner is engineered for riders who demand more from their drivetrain than stock components can offer. Designed specifically for the rear configuration of the Aprilia RSV4, RSV4 RR and RSV4 1100 Factory, it pairs flawlessly with modified gearing kits and brings a level of build quality to the swingarm that OEM parts simply cannot match.

Key Features

• CNC-milled from solid Ergal 7075 aluminium — the same aerospace-grade alloy used throughout top-tier motorsport programmes — delivering exceptional rigidity without unnecessary mass.
• External screw adjustment allows chain tension to be set far more quickly and precisely than with standard OEM tensioners, shaving time on the paddock stand between sessions.
• Laser-engraved scale on the adjuster body gives millimetre-accurate chain alignment, ensuring consistent gearing setup every time the rear wheel is removed and refitted.
• Rear configuration design: engineered specifically for a rearward chain routing, making it the correct choice when fitting a modified gearing kit that alters the drivetrain geometry.
• Compatible with the optional fork-pickup kit FTEAP005 (sold separately), enabling use with conventional paddock stands without compromising the adjuster.
• Available in anodised black or red, letting you coordinate with existing LighTech or aftermarket components across the bike.

Build Quality and Materials

LighTech's reputation rests on the uncompromising standard of their CNC machining, and the TEAP006 is a clear demonstration of that commitment. The Ergal 7075 billet construction means every surface is cut — not cast — so tolerances are exact and the finish is consistent throughout the piece. The anodising process seals the aluminium against corrosion and track grime while adding the clean visual quality that distinguishes genuine performance parts from cosmetic accessories.

The laser-engraved measurement scale is not a sticker or printed marking — it is etched directly into the body, so it remains legible through repeated use, cleaning and adjustment regardless of conditions. This is the kind of considered detail that separates a tool designed for professional use from one built merely to look the part.

Performance and Application

The TEAP006 is built for riders converting their Aprilia to a modified gearing ratio — whether chasing a taller top-end ratio for circuit work or a shorter ratio for tighter, more technical tracks. Standard OEM chain adjusters lack the precision to manage the additional demands that come with a revised drivetrain setup, particularly when wheel removal and reinstatement must be repeated consistently across a race weekend. The external adjustment mechanism of the TEAP006 makes each reinstatement repeatable to the millimetre, protecting both the chain and the sprockets from misalignment wear.

Fitment and Compatibility

This chain tensioner is designed for the rear configuration and is compatible with the following models:

• Aprilia RSV4 (2021-2026)
• Aprilia RSV4 RR (2021-2026)
• Aprilia RSV4 R (2021-2026)
• Aprilia RSV4 RF (2021-2026)
• Aprilia RSV4 1100 Factory (2021-2026)

Intended for use with modified gearing kits. The optional paddock stand fork-pickup kit FTEAP005 is available separately and is required for conventional paddock stand use with this rear-configuration setup.
