DescriptionThe whole story

Precision-manufactured from genuine autoclave carbon fibre, the LighTech CARA0685 tank protector brings race-grade material quality to the Aprilia RS 660 — delivering a combination of exceptional surface hardness, ultralight mass and an unmistakably aggressive gloss finish that sets this panel apart from standard OEM plastics.

Key Features

  • Genuine autoclave-cured carbon fibre construction for maximum rigidity and long-term durability
  • High-gloss lacquered finish that accentuates the carbon weave and resists road contamination
  • Ultralight panel mass — adds meaningful protection without compromising the RS 660's weight balance
  • Equally suited to road and track use, protecting the tank surface from fuel spills, key scratches and riding wear
  • Straightforward fitment: a small bead of silicone is sufficient in most cases; where required, the necessary fixings are included

Build Quality & Materials

LighTech produces this tank protector using the same autoclave process employed in aerospace and motorsport composite manufacturing. Layers of real carbon fibre fabric are vacuum-consolidated under controlled heat and pressure, resulting in a panel with a void-free matrix, outstanding impact resistance and a surface that holds its gloss indefinitely when maintained correctly. There are no shortcuts here — the weave alignment is precise, the resin distribution is even, and every edge is cleanly finished.

The gloss topcoat is applied over the raw carbon laminate to bring out the depth of the weave pattern. The result is a surface that looks purposeful in the pits and immaculate on the road.

Road & Track Use

Whether you use your RS 660 as a daily sport machine or take it to track days, the tank area is consistently exposed to knocks, fuel residue and riding pressure. This protector sits flush against the original contours, shielding the tank without adding any visual bulk. On track, the low mass keeps the dynamic feel of the motorcycle intact, while the rigid carbon shell absorbs minor impacts that would mark or dent a standard painted tank.

Care Advice

Use only mild, pH-neutral cleaning products on the gloss carbon surface. Avoid solvent-based cleaners or abrasive cloths, which can dull the lacquer over time. A light application of quality detailing wax after washing will preserve the gloss finish and protect against UV degradation.
