LighTech Rear Axle Nut Honda CBR 1000 RR (2008-2016) D018 – Ergal 7075 Aluminium

Engineered for riders who refuse to compromise, the LighTech rear axle nut for the Honda CBR 1000 RR (2008–2016) delivers an effortless, secure fit every time you wheel the bike out — whether that is a Sunday morning road ride or a full trackday session. Machined from aerospace-grade Ergal 7075 aluminium and finished with a hard anodised surface, it slots into place with a precision that makes installation feel as considered as the engineering behind it.

Key Features

• Ergal 7075 aluminium construction — aircraft-grade alloy chosen for its outstanding strength-to-weight ratio, dramatically lighter than the OEM steel equivalent without sacrificing structural integrity
• CNC-machined to exacting tolerances, guaranteeing a perfect thread engagement on every fitting and eliminating the risk of cross-threading or uneven seating
• Hard anodised surface treatment resists corrosion, chips and track grime while adding a sharp racing aesthetic that complements any colour scheme
• M22x1.5 thread spec and 32 mm hex diameter match OEM tooling, so no specialist equipment is needed at the paddock
• Maximum rated torque of 130 Nm ensures the nut stays exactly where you put it, lap after lap
• Available in five anodised colours to coordinate with your CBR 1000 RR's livery — each colour assigned its own part number for straightforward reordering

Engineering Detail

LighTech designed this axle nut as a direct OEM replacement that happens to outperform the original in almost every measurable respect. The Ergal 7075 billet starts life oversized, then passes through multi-axis CNC machining that brings the thread, the hex flats and the bearing face into tolerances measured in hundredths of a millimetre. The result is a component that threads on smoothly, torques down evenly across the full 130 Nm specification and stays put under the lateral and braking loads that a litre-class Honda generates at speed. The anodised finish is not cosmetic afterthought — it forms an integral oxide layer that hardens the aluminium surface and seals it against moisture ingress, keeping the nut looking and functioning as new through multiple season changes.

Road and Track Use

For road riders, the primary benefit is a component that fits correctly, requires no persuasion and resists the corrosion that eventually seizes standard steel hardware. For trackday and club racing use, the weight saving over the stock nut is an easy, no-compromise gain that requires no jetting changes, no geometry adjustment and no compromise to reliability — just remove the old, torque on the new, and concentrate on your lap times. The 38.4 mm outer diameter and 19.5 mm height are dimensionally identical to OEM, so wheel changes in the paddock proceed without any adapters or modified stands.

Colour Options

Each colour variant carries its own part number, making it simple to order replacements or to match a complete LighTech fastener set. The available finishes are: black (D018NER), gold (D018ORO), red (D018ROS), silver (D018SIL), and cobalt blue (D018COB).
