motoxpricambi race fairings
The Motoxpricambi race fairings were one of the few options available at the time for the new generation Aprilia RSV4 1100 bike. With all available fairings for the RSV4 coming from Europe, I wanted to minimize risk of a bad business transaction. Motoxpricambi had enough positive feedback, that I felt comfortable doing business with them. Race fairings fit multiple purposes. For some riders/racers, it’s merely fiberglass that mounts to the bike. For others, it can be much more specific such as how the fairings are constructed, overall fitment, durability, and weight to name a few.
I ordered the fairings directly from their website, and they shipped from Italy. Surprisingly, they arrived in a few weeks. I wasn’t exactly sure how long it would take for order fulfillment. It arrived in one big box, and the fairings were individually bubble wrapped and separated with foam with no damage from shipping. You can order unpainted and painted fairing kits. Since my design was custom, I purchased the unpainted version which shows up with a white gelcoat. If you’re unfamiliar with gelcoat, it’s a coating that goes over the exterior of the fairings, but it’s not paint.
Before paint and decals, I fitted the bodywork to the Aprilia RSV4. It’s advertised as OEM fitment with pre-marked holes for drilling. I would say it’s pretty spot on as to where the holes should go. The only trouble was with the front fairing. It did not play well with the OEM air ducts and the plastic radiator bracket, so I made modifications to both of those. After fitting the bodywork, I sanded the exterior, wiped it clean, and then applied the first coat of primer. There was some pitting/imperfections in the bodywork that needed a little extra attention, but those were few and minor.
The bodywork is likely always going to be damaged in a crash. To the extent of the damage depends more on what the bike does when it hits the ground vs what the panels are made of. The Motox bodywork is fiberglass with reinforced mounting sections, so it meets the minimum standard that would be expected of race fairings. The panels themselves are pretty stiff with minimal flex. This is both good and bad. Too much flex and your panels will flap around and not fit as nicely. If they are too stiff, it can be a pain to fit the bodywork and crashing will break the panels instead of just cracking or only requiring minimal repair. The Motox fairings are likely somewhere in the middle depending upon what type of impact it takes. At the end of the day, race fairings are consumables and having spares are always a good idea regardless of material type/brand.
In summary, the Motox race fairings are a good value, and I had zero issues with the ordering process. If you’re in the market for race fairings, give Motox a look. This article was written independently with no influence or kickbacks from Motoxpricambi.
