2025+ Panigale V4/Streetfighter V4 Carbon Fiber Chain Guard, Glossy or Matte – CRB220 DBK

DBK 2025+ Ducati V4 Carbon Fiber Chain Guard

Elevate the drivetrain of your V4 with Italian-made precision 2025+ Panigale V4/Streetfighter V4 Carbon Fiber Chain Guard. While the OEM plastic guard is prone to vibration and can look “unfinished” against the new symmetrical swingarm, DBK’s 100% Prepreg Carbon Fiber version offers structural rigidity and a “factory-racer” finish that is standard on the highest-tier SP and R models.

The redesign of the 2025 Ducati Panigale V4 and Streetfighter V4 introduced the innovative Hollow Symmetrical Swingarm. This move to a dual-sided design means the chain and its guard are now more visible and central to the bike’s aesthetic than ever before.

The DBK Special Parts Carbon Fiber Chain Guard is a professional-grade replacement for the factory plastic. It provides a lightweight, rigid, and high-performance shield that matches the exotic engineering of the new V4 chassis.

Advanced Composite Engineering

DBK utilizes an aerospace-grade manufacturing process to ensure this guard survives the high-vibration environment of the final drive:

• Autoclave Cured: Each guard is cured under intense heat and pressure to eliminate air pockets and resin excess. The result is a part that is thinner and stronger than the plastic original.
• Plain Weave (Trama) Matching: Designed specifically to match the Ducati Performance weave pattern, ensuring visual continuity if you already have factory carbon accessories.
• High-Speed Stability: The rigid carbon construction prevents the “chain slap” or guard flutter often experienced with flexible plastic parts at triple-digit speeds.

Protective & Aesthetic Excellence

• UV-Resistant Clear Coat: Whether you choose the Deep Gloss or Sleek Matte finish, the surface is treated with specialized inhibitors to prevent yellowing or fading from sun exposure.
• Chain Fling Protection: Protects your rear shock and the underside of your tail unit from “chain fling” (lubricant spray) and road debris kicked up by the rear tire.
• Italian Origin: Meticulously designed and manufactured in Italy by DBK Special Parts, a brand synonymous with Ducati racing excellence.

🛡️ Technical Specifications & Compatibility

❓FAQ: Expert Insights

“Will this fit my 2024 Panigale V4?”

No. The 2024 and earlier models use a single-sided swingarm. The 2025 model year features the new dual-sided symmetrical “Hollow” swingarm, which requires a completely different mounting bracket and guard geometry. This DBK part is specifically for the 2025+ architecture.

“Is it easy to clean chain lube off the carbon?”

Yes. Unlike the porous, textured surface of the factory plastic, DBK’s carbon clear coat is smooth and non-porous. Chain lube and road grime can be easily wiped away with a microfiber cloth and a mild degreaser without staining the finish.

“Do I need to remove the rear wheel to install this?”

No. This is a simple Plug & Play installation. It utilizes the factory mounting points on the swingarm. You simply unscrew the original plastic guard and bolt the carbon version into its place using the existing hardware.

Peer Insight: On the 2025 V4, the chain guard is one of the first things people see when looking at the drive side. I highly recommend pairing this with the DBK Carbon Fiber Rear Hugger to create a unified, high-tech look for the entire rear wheel assembly.
