DescriptionThe whole story▼
Engineered for riders who demand genuine race-grade components on both road and track, the LighTech CARA2020 carbon rear mudguard replaces the standard plastic unit on the Aprilia RSV4, RSV4 RR and RSV4 1100 Factory (2021–2026) with a precision-formed, autoclave-cured carbon fibre piece that sheds meaningful weight without compromising structural integrity.
Key Features
- Genuine autoclave-cured carbon fibre construction delivers exceptional rigidity and a strength-to-weight ratio that outperforms standard plastic mudguards by a significant margin
- Glossy clear-coat finish showcases the carbon weave to its fullest and resists UV degradation to keep the surface looking sharp over time
- Purpose-engineered tooling guarantees an exact, OEM-quality fit on all RSV4, RSV4 RR and RSV4 1100 Factory models from 2021 to 2026 — no trimming, filing or bracket modification required
- Ultra-light yet robust enough for regular track use, making it equally at home on circuit days and daily road riding
- Straightforward bolt-on installation that requires no specialist tools or additional hardware
Build Quality and Materials
LighTech manufactures the CARA2020 using high-grade carbon fibre fabric laid up and cured under controlled heat and pressure in an autoclave. This process removes air pockets and consolidates the resin evenly throughout the laminate, producing a component with consistent wall thickness and exceptional stiffness. The external gloss lacquer not only highlights the distinctive carbon weave pattern but also forms a protective barrier against stone chips, grime and fuel splash — all of which are routine hazards at both road and track pace.
Road and Track Performance
Saving weight at the rear of the motorcycle improves the RSV4's already exceptional agility. Every gram removed from an unsprung or bodywork position contributes to sharper turn-in response and reduces the rotational mass the chassis has to manage under hard acceleration. The CARA2020 is used by club racers and track-day regulars alike precisely because it offers a measurable, tangible upgrade over the factory mudguard with none of the fitting compromise that can come with universal aftermarket parts.
Care Instructions
To maintain the gloss finish and protect the carbon surface, clean with mild, pH-neutral products only. Avoid abrasive cloths, solvent-based cleaners or high-pressure washing directly at the lacquer surface, as these can cause micro-scratches or lift the clear coat over time.
