DescriptionThe whole story▼
Every gram and every component counts on the Ducati Panigale 1199, and the K-Bike Titanium Rear Wheel Nut DM48x1.5TIT is proof that functional upgrades and refined aesthetics are not mutually exclusive. Machined from Grade 5 titanium and tipping the scales at just approx. 67.6 g, this M48x1.5 rear axle nut is a precision-engineered drop-in replacement that elevates the single-sided swingarm of your Panigale without compromise.
Key Features

- Grade 5 titanium construction delivers an outstanding strength-to-weight ratio at approx. 67.6 g
- Excellent corrosion resistance makes it equally at home on track days and demanding outdoor environments
- Natural titanium finish reads as understated, technical and professional — no garish colour, just pure material quality
- Developed specifically for racing and high-performance builds where every detail matters
- A genuine K-Bike racing component, engineered to the tolerances demanded by competitive and track-focused Ducati riders
Grade 5 Titanium: Light, Strong, Corrosion-Resistant
Grade 5 titanium — the same alloy used throughout motorsport and aerospace — gives this K-Bike rear wheel nut an exceptional balance of tensile strength, low mass and long-term durability. At approximately 67.6 g it represents a meaningful weight saving over a standard steel unit, with no penalty to structural integrity. Whether you are building a dedicated track bike, dialling in a racing conversion, or simply specifying the finest available components for your Panigale, the material credentials here are unimpeachable.
Titanium's inherent resistance to corrosion means the nut retains its clean, brushed appearance session after session, even under the thermal cycling and moisture exposure that a hard-worked Ducati will encounter at the circuit.
Understated Precision for the Single-Sided Swingarm
The single-sided swingarm of the Panigale 1199 is one of the most visually striking elements of the machine — and the rear wheel nut sits fully exposed at its centre. Where anodised aluminium nuts draw the eye with colour, this titanium variant makes its statement through material integrity alone. The naturally lustrous, muted tone of Grade 5 titanium reads as thoroughly purposeful: the choice of a rider who understands that the best race parts do not need to shout.
As a direct OEM replacement it installs with no modification, restoring the correct M48x1.5 thread engagement and torque characteristics while upgrading the specification of one of the most visible components on the rear of your bike.
