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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eRoad \u0026amp; Track Use\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhether 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCare Advice\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFitment \u0026amp; Compatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eAprilia RS 660 — model years 2020 to 2026\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand: LighTech\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart number: CARA0685\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: genuine autoclave carbon fibre\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSurface finish: gloss\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduct type: tank protector\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFitment: Aprilia RS 660 (2020–2026)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMounting: silicone adhesive or included fixings (application dependent)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"LighTech","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53169009197322,"sku":"CARA0685","price":164.93,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7831\/0410\/files\/CARA0685.png?v=1780818953","url":"https:\/\/inter-pace.com\/vi\/products\/lightech-cara0685","provider":"Inter-Pace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
