DescriptionThe whole story

Engineered for the Yamaha YZF-R1 and R1M across all three chassis generations — RN32, RN49 and RN65 — the LighTech CARY5020 carbon rear mudguard delivers genuine protection where it matters most. Autoclave-cured carbon fibre keeps weight to an absolute minimum while a flawless gloss finish gives the tail end a race-bred aesthetic that no OEM plastic can match.

Key Features

  • Precision fit for Yamaha YZF-R1 and R1M (RN32, RN49, RN65), model years 2015 through 2026
  • Autoclave-manufactured carbon fibre construction — ultralight, exceptionally rigid and built to outlast standard components
  • Premium gloss finish — a clean, high-contrast carbon weave that elevates the rear end visually without added weight
  • Effective protection for the swingarm and drivetrain components against road spray, mud and debris
  • Measurable weight reduction over the factory mudguard, contributing to a sharper overall package
  • Straightforward installation using the supplied hardware or silicone adhesive points — no permanent modification required
  • Low maintenance — clean with a pH-neutral cleaner and the gloss surface retains its appearance long term

Carbon Quality and Construction

LighTech produces this mudguard using autoclave-cured carbon fibre — the same process used in MotoGP and high-level endurance racing. Autoclave curing consolidates the resin under controlled heat and pressure, eliminating voids and maximising the strength-to-weight ratio. The result is a component that is noticeably lighter than the original Yamaha part yet structurally superior. The gloss clear coat is applied over the raw weave and then finished to a mirror standard, so the panel looks as purposeful close up as it does at race distance.

Protection and Practicality

The rear mudguard's primary job is to keep road contamination away from the swingarm pivot, shock linkage, chain and surrounding mechanical components. LighTech's part mirrors the OEM profile exactly, so coverage is identical to stock. What changes is the material: carbon fibre resists the minor impacts and stone chips that gradually degrade plastic over time, meaning this upgrade protects better and longer. Cleaning is straightforward — a mild, pH-neutral solution is all that is needed to keep the gloss surface looking factory-fresh.

Track and Road Use

Whether the R1 or R1M sees road miles or regular circuit sessions, the CARY5020 is equally at home. On track, every gram saved at the rear contributes to more responsive handling; on the road, the durability of carbon over plastic means fewer replacements across the life of the motorcycle. The gloss finish also complements both the standard Yamaha liveries and custom paint schemes without appearing overdone.
