LighTech new generation rearsets - a continuous evolution
Italian premium parts and accessory designer and manufacturer LighTech never ceases to surprise.
"The main goal of a brand like LighTech is to try to help riders to overcome their limits - to stretch their idea about how engineering can help them develop their riding and help them personalise their machine," says LighTech Export Sales Manager Sheila Zaccaron.

A long-term mainstay of the LighTech offer, the company's reasets have always been a top seller and have evolved as the new machines have evolved, and as manufacturing technology and materials have allowed its R&D team to evolve form and function.
"We have been able to refine all our designs, but especially our rearsets as a result of our experience on the race tracks of the world with many of the leading teams. Always in the LighTech catalogue, our rearsets have a prominent position in the meaning of the LighTech brand.

"It is on the track that our manufacturing precision and quality control are at a premium and where you can identify the true limits - where the materials are brought to their maximum stress - and that is why it becomes essential to work closely with those who really experience the track."

That experience has resulted in a new generation of rearset designs, with features such as thicker levers, especially the gear levers, in order to accommodate three high-quality bearings, which have contributed to a +60% increase in torsional rigidity and mechanical resistance, resulting in improved durability, feedback and performance and reduced lever effort.

"The trickle down from our race experience is a refined, modern design for our street application rearsets, with customising options that allow riders to tune their rearsets to their own personal taste from our comprehensive range of accessories and spare parts."
