DescriptionThe whole story▼
Engineered specifically for the Ducati Panigale 959 (2016–2019), the IMA Special Parts Racing top clamp delivers a measurable improvement in front-end precision and braking stability — making it one of the most accessible chassis upgrades you can bolt on, whether you ride road or track days.
Key Features
- FEM-optimised structure (Finite Element Method) for maximum rigidity and controlled flex where it matters most
- Machined from 7075 Ergal aluminium — the same high-strength, ultra-lightweight alloy used in premium motorsport components
- Adjustable offset from 25 mm to 31 mm, letting you dial in steering geometry to suit your riding style or circuit requirements
- Improved braking stability and sharper front-wheel feedback for greater confidence under hard braking and through corners
- Titanium fasteners included as standard — corrosion-resistant and weight-saving without compromise
- Direct bolt-on fitment for the Panigale 959 (2016–2019), no modifications required
Build Quality and Design
IMA Special Parts designed this top clamp using FEM analysis to ensure that stress is distributed evenly across the clamp body. The result is a part that feels planted and communicative — you notice the difference the first time you tip into a fast corner or squeeze the brakes hard at the end of a straight. The 7075 Ergal aluminium billet construction keeps unsprung and rotating mass low, which translates directly into more responsive handling and reduced fatigue over a full session.
The adjustable offset range of 25 mm to 31 mm gives you genuine flexibility. Shortening the offset quickens the steering; lengthening it adds stability at speed. This kind of tunability is normally the preserve of full race builds, and having it available on a road-legal setup at this price point is what makes the IMA clamp a compelling everyday upgrade as well as a track-day tool.
Performance on Road and Track
The upper fork tube diameter is 57 mm and the lower is 58 mm, with a centre-to-centre pitch of 226 mm — all matching the stock Panigale 959 fork specification exactly. Titanium bolts keep the assembly secure while shaving grams from the front end, and they resist corrosion whether the bike lives in a heated garage or sees year-round use. For riders who want a genuine performance benefit without a full suspension overhaul, this clamp represents outstanding value.
