Light, fast and cool –
the Ilmberger R nineT ‘Racer’
The BMW R nineT has been begging for the “Ilmberger treatment”, and never ones to do anything by halves, the Bavarian carbon fibre parts specialist has exploited the versatility of a platform that has quickly become a favourite with the custom community by developing a range of designs that pay homage to the legendary Superbikes of the 1970s.
So far Ilmberger has completed 12 model-specific parts, with options such as “a street fairing as well as an exclusive version for racing, which works well on the race track, but is also a great basis for customising the bike, as customers often install very small lights. With our race fairing, we pave the way for all fans of the racing look,” says Julius Ilmberger, Managing Director of Ilmberger Carbonparts.
Core piece of the carbon collection for the BMW R nineT ‘Racer’ is the engine spoiler – “a direct adaption from racing, which also looks quite impressive on the street version.” The full line-up includes a belly pan, cover behind the headlight, fairing holder, front fender, tank vent holder, pillion seat cover (with or without holders), rear splash guard, rear undertray (without number plate holder), side covers at the seat (left and right), silencer protector (rear) and complete top fairing in choice of race or street style.
