DescriptionThe whole story▼
The single-sided swingarm of the Ducati Panigale V4 puts the rear axle nut on full display — every ride, every paddock walk, every photo. K-Bike's CNC-machined aluminium rear axle nut DM48X1,5 transforms that exposed fastener from a forgettable OEM part into a precision-finished detail that is every bit as uncompromising as the V4 itself.
Key Features
- CNC-machined from 7075 T6 Ergal aluminium — exceptional strength-to-weight ratio for a direct OEM replacement
- Precise M48x1,5 thread matches factory specification; tightened to the manufacturer's prescribed torque
- Separate nut and centering cone design allows a washer to be used, distributing clamping load evenly and protecting surrounding surfaces from pressure marks and wear
- Compatible with the K-Bike COM48 centering cone for a striking two-tone finish at the rear wheel
- Eight anodised colour options — coordinate with wheels, rearsets, levers and other anodised add-on parts for a coherent build
- Purpose-built for road, track and full Ducati Panigale V4 customisation builds
Design, Finish and Heritage
K-Bike has built its reputation on jewel-like precision parts that live up to the machines they dress. The DM48X1,5 rear axle nut is machined in a single operation from solid 7075 T6 Ergal — the same aerospace-grade aluminium alloy used across motorsport for its combination of high tensile strength and low mass. The result is a fastener whose contours are crisp, whose anodised surface catches the light, and whose presence at the centre of the V4's iconic single-sided swingarm reads as entirely intentional.
Unlike a simple turned nut, the K-Bike unit is manufactured separately from its centering cone. This separation makes it straightforward to insert a washer between nut and hub, spreading the clamping force across a wider area and eliminating the micro-scoring that can accumulate on alloy surfaces under repeated tightening cycles and track vibration.
Two-Tone Customisation with COM48
Pair the DM48X1,5 with the matching K-Bike COM48 centering cone in a contrasting anodised colour and the rear of the Panigale V4 takes on a bespoke, motorsport-influenced appearance. With eight anodised finishes available across both components — black, red, blue, silver, green, orange, titanium and gold — the combinations are wide enough to complement virtually any livery or parts palette.
