Puig Hi-Tech Parts additions
Clutch lever protector
Featuring a bidirectional adjustment system ( longitudinal and perpendicular ), this clutch protector from Puig Hi-Tech Parts ( Barcelona ) is a genuinely race-derived design that allows a greater degree of adjustment without compromising the protection it provides . The firm ' s MotoGP and WorldSBK experience has resulted in a design that is light yet strong . CNC- machined from a single block of high-performance aluminium , then anodised ( black , blue , red , orange , green , silver or gold ) for a protective and aesthetic final finish , the durable universal version can be mounted on handlebars with an inner diameter of 13 to 18 mm without the need to purchase a separate adapter - adapters are available for other diameters .
Downforce Race spoilers
These new Downforce Race wings ( seen here for the Ducati Panigale V2 and V4 / S ) are designed to improve its stability , cornering and aerodynamic resistance - they increase the vertical and downward aerodynamic load , which translates to greater poise and ground grip at significant speeds . Developed in collaboration with the Kawasaki Racing Team and virtual wind tunnel as well as track tested , by applying this force on the front wheel , the grip of the tyre improves and the appearance of the " shimmie " and wheelie effect is avoided - the increased downforce also improves cornering by planting the bike more firmly to the asphalt . Made from 4 mm thick , high strength , lightweight acrylic material , they are attached using a 3M dual lock adhesive of very high resistance and durability - which means no drilling or other permanent modifications are necessary . The rounded edges with a radius of less than 2 mm means they comply with safety regulations .
Downforce Naked spoilers
Seen here for the Yamaha MT-09 , Puig Hi- Tech Parts also has WorldSBK and MotoGP derived downforce spoiler designs for popular ' Naked ' style models that bring the same benefits of improved straight-line and cornering traction ( at the front end especially ) to road-going street models . Increasing the vertical downforce at high speeds will reduce the risk of losing control over the front axle - the virtual wind tunnel tests for these designs can be seen on the Puig website . Featuring the same 2 mm rounded edges , in addition to providing an aggressive aesthetic , a wide range of available colour options are offered . The Downforce Naked spoilers are made up of four easy install spoilers in matt black ABS using the supplied strong and lightweight anti-corrosion finished brackets . The set also incorporates a pair of deflectors , which are made of 4 mm thick , high-impact CN acrylic material ( colours
also available ) that have 4 mm edge for greater safety . The Downforce Naked spoilers can be assembled in two different ways - either mount the black spoilers only , for a more discreet and " Dark " look with an aesthetic similar to the Sport spoilers , or you can also mount the deflectors in the colour chosen for a more aggressive look and an aesthetic that is closer to the MotoGP look . Available for other models , including the 2021 KTM 1290 Superduke R .
