Design, Finish and Heritage

LighTech has been producing competition-grade aluminium accessories from their Italian facility for decades, supplying teams and serious riders who insist on parts that perform as well as they look. The FTRDU016R carries that lineage forward with a clean silver finish on the folding footpegs and toepegs — a classic racing aesthetic that sits perfectly against the sharp lines of the Panigale 959 without drawing attention for the wrong reasons.

Every bracket, pivot and lever is machined from Ergal 7075-T6, a high-tensile aluminium alloy favoured in motorsport for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio. The result is a rearset assembly that feels planted and inert underfoot at the limit, with none of the flex or play that plagues lesser aftermarket options.

Performance on Track and Road

The R designation within the LighTech range signals the inclusion of folding footpegs and toepegs — an important distinction when riding at extreme lean angles or on circuits where contact with the ground is a real possibility. A rigid peg that catches tarmac can unsettle the chassis violently; a folding peg absorbs the contact and keeps you upright. For trackday riders and racers running the Panigale 959, this is a meaningful safety upgrade, not merely a styling choice.

The ball-bearing pivot on both the gear shift lever and the brake lever eliminates the vague, sticky feel that worn OEM or budget rearsets develop over time. Every input is transmitted cleanly, supporting the confidence you need when trail-braking deep into a corner or making rapid gear changes mid-corner on a GP-shift setup.

Note: This rearset is designed exclusively for reverse (GP-shift) gear change pattern. It is not compatible with a standard shift configuration.
