FullSix carbon parts now
available through Metisse
FULLSIX, the Slovenian carbon fibre
parts specialist, is now making its
product range available through
Metisse in Germany.
FullSix was founded by CDT Group
in 2008 and produces carbon fibre
parts for original equipment
manufacturer (OEM) and aftermarket
applications. The business, which now
employs 40 staff, has seen 40 percent
growth over the past three years, and
supplies OEM parts to both BMW and
Lamborghini and claims to offer the
widest range of aftermarket Ducati
parts with over 90 items for the 1199
Panigale alone.
These parts include a one-piece fuel
tank Panigale, an option which is also
available for Ducati’s 1098 and
Streetfighter, and BMW’s S1000RR
and a monocoque tail for the Ducati
1199 Panigale.
FullSix offers its carbon fibre
motorcycle parts in three product lines
that cater for different performance
and cosmetic needs: Street, Race and
FullSix Custom. Street line parts are
designed to replace OEM parts and
enhance both the visual appearance
and performance of the motorbike. The
Race line components are fully race
compliant and incorporate features
from World Superbike and British
Superbike, such as oversized air
intakes and improved aerodynamics.
FullSix Custom components are
designed in collaboration with
renowned motorcycle designers, and
the line began with a collaboration

Full Six’s carbon fibre seat hump for
the BMW R nineT

with John Keogh for the Ducati
Monster 696, 796 and 1100.
A key development in the success of
FullSix has been the introduction of
ACM (Adaptive Coding and
Modulation) technology to
manufacture flawless hollow carbon
fiber parts. This has allowed the
company to develop a fuel tank that is
not at risk of having leaking seams
caused by temperature fluctuations or
the dissolving of the glued seams by
fuel.
Each FullSix fuel tank design passes
a point of impact test which simulates
puncture damage. Each resists the
force of a 15kg weight dropped from
a height of 1m that lands in a 3mm
point of impact. To demonstrate its
commitment to quality the carbon
fibre tanks are manufactured in
accordance with build requir
