CARBON FIBER REAR HUGGER – APRILIA RSV 4 (2009-NOW) / TUONO V4 (2011-NOW)
A rear hugger made of carbon fiber for an Aprilia RSV 4 (2009-now) or Tuono V4 (2011-now) is a motorcycle accessory designed to replace the stock rear hugger with a lightweight and high-strength alternative. The rear hugger, also known as a chain guard or chain protector, is a component located at the rear of the motorcycle that helps to protect the rider and motorcycle from debris, water, and mud.
The carbon fiber construction of the rear hugger offers many benefits, including reduced weight and improved strength compared to the stock rear hugger. The use of carbon fiber can also enhance the appearance of the motorcycle, giving it a more aggressive and sporty look.
This particular rear hugger is designed specifically for the Aprilia RSV 4 or Tuono V4, and is typically a direct replacement for the stock rear hugger. It can be installed with minimal modifications or special tools and is a popular upgrade among motorcyclists looking to enhance both the performance and appearance of their motorcycle.
In addition to its aesthetic appeal, a carbon fiber rear hugger can also improve the aerodynamic profile of the motorcycle and prevent debris from accumulating on the rear suspension or chain, which can help to extend the lifespan of these components. It can also reduce the amount of debris that is kicked up onto the rider or passenger, resulting in a more comfortable ride.
