DBK Ducati V2 (2025 ) Front Axle Slider PFAN11: Aerospace-Grade Protection The 2025 Panigale V2/Multistrada V2/Streetfighter V2 Front Axle Slider is precision-engineered in Italy by DBK Special Parts and designed specifically for the latest generation of the Ducati V2. While many sliders use basic plastics, DBK utilizes 7075 Billet Aluminum, an aerospace-grade alloy known for its incredible strength-to-weight ratio and superior abrasion resistance. Engineering for the Modern Ducati V2 The 2025 V2 models feature a revised chassis and fork architecture. DBK has developed this slider to integrate seamlessly with the new axle geometry, ensuring a “Plug & Play” fit that requires no permanent modifications. 7075 Aluminum Construction: Unlike lower-grade 6061 aluminum, 7075 offers higher tensile strength, ensuring the slider stays intact during the high-friction heat of a slide. Anodized Longevity: The sliders undergo a high-micron anodizing process, protecting them against UV fading, road salt, and corrosive cleaning agents. Weight Optimization: By using billet aluminum rather than heavy steel alternatives, DBK maintains the “flickability” and unsprung weight balance of your Ducati’s front end. Protection Beyond the Surface The primary goal of these sliders is to keep your bike “rideable” after an incident. By extending the contact point beyond the fork legs, the DBK sliders protect: Fork Bottoms: Prevents grinding down the expensive magnesium or aluminum castings. Axle Bolts: Ensures the axle can still be removed with standard tools after a slide. Brake Caliper Mounts: Safeguards the high-performance Brembo hardware from direct pavement contact. ��️ Technical Specifications & Compatibility Feature Details Material 7075 Ergal Billet Aluminum Origin 100% Made in Italy by DBK Special Parts Finish Hard-Anodized (Available in Red, Black, Gold, Silver) Compatibility 2025 Panigale V2, Streetfighter V2, Multistrada V2 Installation Through-bolt design (Includes all mounting hardware) ❓ FAQ: Expert Protection Insights “Does this axle slider affect the handling or stability of the bike?” While the original text suggested performance gains, technically, an axle slider’s role is protective. However, by using lightweight 7075 aluminum, DBK ensures there is no negative impact on the bike’s unsprung weight, preserving the precision handling Ducati intended for the 2025 V2 models. “Can these sliders be replaced individually if I have a small tip-over?” Yes. One of the benefits of the DBK modular design is that if one side is damaged, you can typically source replacement slider pucks without having to purchase a completely new mounting rod. “Are these compatible with the 2024 Panigale V2 (Superquadro)?” No. The 2025 V2 platform uses a different axle diameter and fork spacing. This specific part is engineered for the new engine and chassis generation launching in 2025. Installation Instructions/PFAN11
