Aprilia RS660/Tuono 660 Rear Axle Slider – DBK

Aprilia RS660/Tuono 660 Rear Axle Slider

The DBK Special Parts Aprilia RS660/Tuono 660 Rear Axle Slider delivers critical impact and abrasion defense for the rear swingarm, axle nut, and brake setup of your Aprilia 660. Engineered and manufactured entirely in Italy, this protective slider assembly keeps vulnerable rear-end components off the asphalt in the event of a low-side slide or static garage tip-over.

Defend your middleweight Italian superbike with track-proven armor.

A low-speed slide can quickly turn into a costly repair if your swingarm or rear wheel spindle grind down against raw tarmac. DBK Special Parts counteracts this risk using a specialized dual-material construction that absorbs severe impact energy and glides smoothly across the road surface, distributing shear stress away from your rear axle assembly.

Premium 7075 Ergal Core & High-Density Polymers

Refining the track-tested heritage of DBK Special Parts (born from the engineering DNA of Ducabike and Performance Technology), the PFPN05a kit utilizes a multi-material architecture. The structural inner components are CNC-machined from a solid block of 7075 Ergal billet aluminum, providing supreme tensile strength without adding unnecessary unsprung rotating mass.

The sacrificial outer slider pucks are molded from a high-density, abrasion-resistant engineering plastic polymer. This material features an ultra-low friction coefficient, allowing your bike to slide smoothly across tarmac to slow down safely rather than catching on pavement imperfections. For lasting aesthetics, the Ergal cores receive a deep surface colored anodization process that resists UV bleaching, brake dust, and harsh road grimes.

Tailored Aprilia 660 Platform Fitment

The PFPN05a slider kit is dimensioned to feed directly through the hollow rear axle spindle on Aprilia’s premier middleweight motorcycles:
