Said to be the world’s first, the one-piece carbon fibre fuel tanks are currently available for the Ducati 1199 Panigale, 848, 1098, 1198 and Streetfighter models. Unlike other two-piece fuel tanks, FullSix carbon fibre fuel tanks are manufactured using proprietary Autoclave Composite Monocoque (ACM) technology to create hollow carbon fibre parts. The technology used is said to create structural components with unparalleled integrity and a seamless finish. Each FullSix product is supplied with a certificate of authenticity and is imprinted with a unique serial number and barcode which allows CDT Group to trace the part through the entire manufacturing process for quality control. “Our vision is to produce only the highest quality motorcycle parts that capture the strength and beauty of carbon fibre,” said Gašper Ovak, Director of CDT Group. “We will achieve this through hard work, focusing on technological innovation, and accepting no compromises in our constant pursuit for perfection. Our collaborations with world renowned institutes such as the Jožef Stefan Institute, Slovenia’s leading research institute, have allowed us to bring pioneering technologies such as our one-piece carbon fibre fuel tanks to the market. “Lightweight, easy to install, and with an impeccable finish, we are excited to be able to offer our customers a product which is truly groundbreaking and will allow their motorcycle to really stand out in the crowd.” Produced from new composite materials, a FullSix fuel tank for the Ducati 1199 Panigale weighs a claimed 3.5lbs, which is 60 percent lighter than the OEM aluminium fuel tank. Designed as direct replacements for stock tanks, FullSix fuel tanks are an exact fit and do not require any modifications to install. CDT Group claim weight savings of up to 60 percent for some of their FULLSIX brand carbon fibre tanks. Seen here is their Ducati Panigale stock replacement tank, one of several Ducati models they have replacements for. The company is also offering an exclusive range of John Keogh custom carbon fiber parts designs (such as monoseats, belly pans, font fairings, exhaust protector, and various covers and gurads) for Ducati Monster 696, 796 and 100 models CDT SKUPINA Kropa, SLOVENIA Tel: [phone] www.fullsixcarbon.com INTERNATIONAL DEALER NEWS - DEC/JAN 2013 33
