Yes, this rear hugger tire mud guard is specifically designed to fit Ducati Multistrada V4, V4S, and V4S Sport models from 2020 to 2023. It follows OEM mounting points for precise alignment and hassle-free installation. Riders often pair it with the Carbon Fiber Side Panels for Ducati Multistrada V4 for comprehensive rear-section protection.
2. What benefits does a carbon fiber rear hugger offer over the stock part?
A carbon fiber rear hugger provides improved debris protection, reduced weight, and higher rigidity compared to OEM plastic components. It helps keep the rear suspension and underbody cleaner while enhancing the bike’s premium look. Many riders complement this upgrade with the Multistrada V4 Carbon Fiber Rear Seat Cover Trim for balanced protection and styling.
3. How is Turn1 carbon fiber different from other aftermarket rear huggers?
Turn1 rear huggers are produced using autoclave curing, resulting in higher fiber density, better strength-to-weight ratio, and superior surface flatness. Each piece is CNC or robotically trimmed and finished with a UV-resistant clear coat. Riders upgrading multiple parts often choose matching components like the Carbon Fiber Tank Cover for Ducati Multistrada V4 for consistent quality.
4. Is the installation of the rear hugger difficult?
No, installation is straightforward. This rear hugger is a direct bolt-on replacement that uses factory mounting points and hardware. Basic tools are sufficient, making it suitable for DIY installation or quick professional fitting. It installs seamlessly alongside parts such as the Multistrada V4 Front Fairing Nose Cover.
5. Will the carbon fiber rear hugger fade or discolor over time?
No. The rear hugger is protected with a UV-coated high-gloss clear finish that resists fading, yellowing, and damage from sunlight or road conditions. Pairing it with similarly finished components like the Ducati Multistrada V4 Carbon Fiber Swingarm Cover ensures a uniform, long-lasting appearance.
