DescriptionThe whole story▼
Swap out the stock passenger seat and instantly sharpen the profile of your Ducati Panigale V4/S — the LighTech CARD2492M seat cowl is a straightforward, cost-effective upgrade that earns its place whether you're commuting across town or heading to the circuit on weekends. Genuine autoclave-cured carbon fibre means you're not just changing the look; you're trimming unsprung weight and fitting a piece that will outlast the bike's paintwork.
Key Features
- Genuine carbon fibre construction, autoclave-cured for maximum fibre consolidation, structural rigidity and a consistent surface finish
- Matte surface finish (part number CARD2492M) delivers a refined, understated racing aesthetic without the glare of a gloss weave
- Direct replacement for the original passenger seat — no drilling, no bracket fabrication, no specialist tools required
- Meaningful weight reduction over the OEM plastic-and-foam seat unit, benefiting handling balance and unsprung mass
- Precision-engineered fitment specific to the 2025-2026 Panigale V4/S bodywork profile, ensuring gap-free, flush integration
- Care-friendly matte surface — clean with any pH-neutral product to preserve the finish long-term
Build Quality & Everyday Value
LighTech manufactures this seat cowl using the same autoclave process found on factory Superbike machinery, which means each layer of carbon is consolidated under controlled heat and pressure rather than left to cure at ambient temperature. The result is a part that is notably stiffer and more dimensionally stable than vacuum-infused or wet-laid alternatives — you won't find it flexing or creaking after a season of road use.
The matte finish is particularly well suited to daily riding. It resists the minor smudges and fingerprints that plague gloss carbon panels, and because LighTech applies a dedicated matte clear coat rather than simply flattening a gloss coat, the carbon weave beneath remains crisp and visible from every angle. Keeping it clean requires nothing more than a pH-neutral wash and a microfibre cloth.
Road & Track Use
On the road, the cowl converts the Panigale V4/S to a clean single-seat silhouette that tightens up the rear-end lines and removes the visual bulk of the pillion seat. On track, where a passenger seat serves no practical purpose, the weight saving is a genuine functional benefit rather than cosmetic theatre. Either way, installation takes minutes and the part bolts on with the factory fixings — there is no ambiguity about alignment or fitment.
