2025+ Panigale V4/Streetfighter V4 Carbon Fiber Rear Wheel Hugger/Fender, Glossy or Matte – CRB228 DBK

DBK 2025 Ducati V4 Carbon Fiber Rear Hugger

Ditch the utilitarian plastic and embrace the “Veloce” aesthetic. This 2025+ Panigale V4/Streetfighter V4 Carbon Fiber Rear Wheel Hugger/Fender isn’t just a mudguard; it’s a structural statement in weight reduction. By utilizing 100% Prepreg Carbon Fiber, DBK has created a component that is significantly lighter than the OEM part while offering superior rigidity at triple-digit speeds.

The 2025 Panigale V4 and Streetfighter V4 represent a massive shift in Ducati’s design philosophy, most notably the transition to the new Ducati Hollow Symmetrical Swingarm. Because the rear architecture has been completely redesigned, your old V4 carbon won’t fit.

The DBK Special Parts Carbon Fiber Rear Hugger is one of the first dedicated performance upgrades for this new generation. Crafted in Italy, it replaces the bulky factory plastic with a vacuum-cured, 100% carbon fiber component that matches the exotic soul of the V4 Desmosedici Stradale engine.

The Prepreg & Autoclave Difference

Not all carbon is created equal. DBK utilizes a professional-grade manufacturing process that is standard in MotoGP:

• Prepreg Construction: The carbon fibers are pre-impregnated with the perfect ratio of resin, eliminating “dry spots” or excess weight found in cheap hand-laid carbon.
• Autoclave Cured: The part is cured under high pressure and heat, resulting in a flawless, high-density finish that can withstand the intense heat radiated by the V4’s rear exhaust bank.
• Aerodynamic Protection: Designed to shield the rear shock linkage and the undersurface of the tail unit from road grime and tire sling without disrupting the airflow of the new 2025 “Hollow” swingarm.

🛡️ Technical Specifications & Compatibility

❓FAQ: Expert Fitment Insights

“Will this fit my 2024 Panigale V4?”

No. The 2025 model year introduced a dual-sided swingarm. Previous V4 models (2018–2024) used a single-sided swingarm, and the mounting points for the hugger are completely different. This DBK part is specifically engineered for the 2025+ “Hollow Symmetrical” swingarm.

“Is it a Matte or Gloss finish?”

This part is available in both. The Gloss finish provides a deep, liquid look that highlights the plain weave, while the Matte finish offers a stealthy, “S” or “SP” model factory racing vibe. Both feature UV-inhibitors to prevent yellowing over time.

“How difficult is the installation?”

It is a 100% Plug & Play replacement. It uses the factory mounting locations and original hardware. Because of the precision of the autoclave mold, the bolt holes align perfectly without the need for filing or “massaging” the part into place.
