1. What are the benefits of carbon fiber tank side panels on the Ducati Hypermotard 950?
They reduce weight, improve durability, and give the bike a race-inspired aesthetic. Many riders also add our Ducati Hypermotard Rear Hugger for a full carbon upgrade.
2. Do these side panels fit directly as OEM replacements?
Yes — they are direct bolt-on replacements for Ducati Hypermotard 950 (2019–2023). No cutting or modifications are required. Riders often complement them with our Ducati Hypermotard Belly Pan for a unified setup.
3. How are these panels manufactured?
They are made using the autoclave process and CNC waterjet cutting, which ensures lightweight construction, rigidity, and precision fit. Our Ducati Hypermotard Radiator Cover use the same method for consistency.
4. Are Turn1 carbon fiber parts UV-protected?
Yes — all our products, including these tank side panels, feature a UV-resistant coating to prevent fading and maintain gloss. For a cohesive tank area finish, pair them with our Ducati Hypermotard Tank Cover.
5. Do these panels affect performance or are they cosmetic only?
They do both — they reduce weight slightly compared to OEM plastic parts while delivering a premium racing aesthetic. Riders who want a full transformation often combine them with our Ducati Hypermotard Sprocket Cover.
