DescriptionThe whole story▼
Autoclave-manufactured from genuine carbon fibre, the LighTech CARA3019 airbox tubes deliver a measurable weight saving and a razor-sharp racing aesthetic that sets your Aprilia RSV4 apart from the moment you lift the tank. The gloss finish showcases the carbon weave in full, turning a functional component into a centrepiece of the engine bay.
Key Features
- Genuine carbon fibre construction — not a carbon-look laminate — giving the highest strength-to-weight ratio available in this fitment
- Autoclave production process ensures complete resin consolidation, eliminating voids and maximising the structural integrity of every tube
- High-gloss clear coat finish brings out the carbon weave and is resistant to heat and minor abrasion from daily or track use
- Supplied as a matched pair — left and right — for a complete, factory-quality installation
- Precision-moulded to the exact dimensions of the RSV4 airbox, so fitment is direct and requires no modification
- Suitable for both road and track use, shedding unsprung weight where it counts without compromising durability
Build Quality and Materials
LighTech's commitment to autoclave manufacturing defines what separates these airbox tubes from cheaper press-moulded alternatives. The autoclave process applies controlled heat and pressure simultaneously, driving out excess resin and ensuring the carbon layers bond at their theoretical maximum strength. The result is a component that is noticeably lighter than the original plastic item yet substantially stiffer — a combination that only genuine autoclave carbon can deliver.
The high-gloss topcoat is applied after curing, sealing the weave against moisture ingress and UV degradation. To maintain the surface, use only mild, pH-neutral cleaning products; harsh solvents or abrasive cloths will damage the lacquer and dull the finish over time.
Performance and Track Use
On a machine as focused as the RSV4, every gram removed from a non-structural component is a gram that does not need to be managed through the chassis or suspension. The LighTech carbon airbox tubes contribute a direct weight reduction versus the OEM parts, and the improved rigidity of the carbon structure helps maintain consistent airbox geometry under the thermal and mechanical stress of hard track riding. The result is a component that earns its place on a serious road or race build, not simply as a visual upgrade but as a functional one.
