The heelguard in our unique design for the Honda CBR 1000 RR Fireblade 2017 blends into the motorcycle's overall appearance. The extremely light Ilmberger Carbon heelplate (left side) replaces the original metal plate and underlines the Fireblade´s sporty claims.
This part is a direct replacement for the original component and contributes mainly to weight saving on the motorcycle (up to 70% less) and a higher stiffness of the parts. Like all of our carbon fibre parts, it was made according to the latest protocols and industry standards and can be considered to encompass all aspects of current 'best of industry' practice. The part is made completely out of pre-preg carbon fibre materials using an autoclave. As with all our carbon parts, we use a clear plastic coating that not only improves the appearance, but also protects the carbon fibre from scratching and has a unique UV resistance.
