Fullsix Carbon Open Heel Guards for Ducati Panigale V4/S/R (2018-2024)

Few fairing components express a motorcycle's racing lineage as immediately as exposed carbon fibre, and the Fullsix Carbon Open Heel Guards do exactly that for the Ducati Panigale V4/S/R. Formed from 100% genuine carbon fibre and carrying German ABE road approval, this set delivers the aesthetic authority of a factory Ducati Corse machine alongside a direct, plug-and-play replacement for the OEM part — no modifications, no TÜV registration required.

Key Features

• 100% genuine carbon fibre construction — exceptional rigidity at a fraction of the weight of the standard plastic part
• ABE-approved for road use — legally ridden on public roads without additional type-approval procedures
• Plug-and-play fitment — replaces the OEM heel guard set one-to-one with no cutting, drilling or modification
• Choice of 200 Plain or 245 Twill weave, each available in Glossy, Matte, Satin or Raw finish to suit your build aesthetic
• UV- and weather-resistant finish — colour and sheen remain stable over years of road and track exposure
• Shields the rider's heel from contact with the chain and drivetrain components while refining overall aerodynamic integration

Design, Finish and Heritage

Fullsix has built its reputation on supplying carbon fibre components that match — and in many cases exceed — the quality of factory race-team parts. The Open Heel Guards continue that tradition. The 200 Plain weave mirrors the carbon structure used on the standard Ducati carbon accessories range, making it the natural choice for riders who want a seamless, factory-coherent look. The 245 Twill weave introduces a bolder, more prominent diamond pattern that catches the light differently at every angle, giving the Panigale a visual signature that stands apart even within a crowd of V4s.

Four surface treatments give you full control over the final character of the part. Glossy delivers the deep, lacquered sheen associated with traditional carbon craftsmanship. Matte reads as purposeful and understated — the finish of choice for competition-inspired builds that avoid flash. Satin sits between the two: a fine, silky surface with a gentle lustre. Raw leaves the carbon completely untreated, offering the most honest expression of the material and the closest visual reference to a MotoGP pit-lane part fresh from the autoclave.

Construction and Performance

Each guard is hand-laid and cured to maintain the precise dimensional tolerances required for OEM replacement fitment. The open design — as opposed to a fully enclosed heel guard — keeps weight to a minimum while still forming an effective barrier between the rider's boot and the chain and sprocket area. The result is a component that contributes to both rider safety and dynamic handling through a measurable reduction in unsprung and bodywork mass.

Fitment and Compatibility

These heel guards are engineered specifically for the following models:

• Ducati Panigale V4 (2018–2024)
• Ducati Panigale V4 S (2018–2024)
• Ducati Panigale V4 R (2018–2024)

Installation is plug-and-play. The guards mount using the existing OEM mounting points and hardware, replacing the standard part without any permanent modification to the motorcycle.
