Puig Hi-Tech Parts additions

Clutch lever protector
Featuring a bidirectional adjustment system (longitudinal and perpendicular), this clutch protector from Puig Hi-Tech Parts (Barcelona) is a genuinely race-derived design that allows a greater degree of adjustment without compromising the protection it provides.


The firm's MotoGP and WorldSBK experience has resulted in a design that is light yet strong. CNC- machined from a single block of high-performance aluminium, then anodised (black, blue, red, orange, green, silver or gold) for a protective and aesthetic final finish, the durable universal version can be mounted on handlebars with an inner diameter of 13 to 18 mm without the need to purchase a separate adapter - adapters are available for other diameters.

Downforce Race spoilers
These new Downforce Race wings (seen here for the Ducati Panigale V2 and V4/S) are designed to improve its stability, cornering and aerodynamic resistance - they increase the vertical and downward aerodynamic load, which translates to greater poise and ground grip at significant speeds. 

Developed in collaboration with the Kawasaki Racing Team and virtual wind tunnel as well as track tested, by applying this force on the front wheel, the grip of the tyre improves and the appearance of the "shimmie" and wheelie effect is avoided - the increased downforce also improves cornering by planting the bike more firmly to the asphalt.
Made from 4 mm thick, high strength, lightweight acrylic material, they are attached using a 3M dual lock adhesive of very high resistance and durability - which means no drilling or other permanent modifications are necessary. The rounded edges with a radius of less than 2 mm means they comply with safety regulations.

Downforce Naked spoilers
Seen here for the Yamaha MT-09, Puig Hi-Tech Parts also has WorldSBK and MotoGP derived downforce spoiler designs for popular 'Naked' style models that bring the same benefits of improved straight-line and cornering traction (at the front end especially) to road-going street models.


Increasing the vertical downforce at high speeds will reduce the risk of losing control over the front axle - the virtual wind tunnel tests for these designs can be seen on the Puig website. Featuring the same 2 mm rounded edges, in addition to providing an aggressive aesthetic, a wide range of available colour options are offered.
The Downforce Naked spoilers are made up of four easy install spoilers in matt black ABS using the supplied strong and lightweight anti-corrosion finished brackets. The set also incorporates a pair of deflectors, which are made of 4 mm thick, high-impact CN acrylic material (colours also available) that have 4 mm edge for greater safety.

Downforce Naked spoilers are also available for the 2021 KTM 1290 Superduke R.

The Downforce Naked spoilers can be assembled in two different ways - either mount the black spoilers only, for a more discreet and "Dark" look with an aesthetic similar to the Sport spoilers, or you can also mount the deflectors in the colour chosen for a more aggressive look and an aesthetic that is closer to the MotoGP look. Available for other models, including the 2021 KTM 1290 Superduke R.
