Why choose carbon?
Carbon is a great material in terms of esthetics, through its high-tech look. It gives your bike an exclusive and sporty appearance, if you choose quality carbon like Ilmberger carbon. Besides being beautiful in appearance, Ilmberger carbon saves up to 70% in weight when compared to the OEM part.
Why you should choose Ilmberger carbon:
Carbon is available in a wide range of qualities, but only Ilmberger carbon is of the highest quality, with the best possible finish.
So what makes Ilmberger carbon so special:
Not only does Ilmberger use a high-quality carbon as base material, but their experience in producing carbon ensures that the parts you order are of a very high finish. Ilmberger carbon parts are produced in the autoclave from Prepreg carbon weave. The carbon fibre is processed dry and usually laid in fully milled aluminium moulds, then packed in vacuum bags. In the next step, the parts are kept under constant vacuum within the bag and exposed to additional external pressure while being baked in the autoclave for several hours. In addition, the temperature is raised or lowered several times, depending on which fibres are being treated. Following the heating process, the parts are de-moulded and milled and sharpened in the water jet cutter or the 5 axle milling machine. Then, in the final step, the practically finished carbon parts are covered with a clear plastic coating.
Extra attention to small details:
What really sets Ilmberger apart is the minute attention to the smallest details. The carbon fibre follows the lines of the part, adding that extra touch, which makes the difference between 'just any carbon fiber part' and the perfect quality of Ilmberger. The seams between different carbon fiber panels are nearly invisible and are placed in inconspicuous corners of the part, to ensure the part stands out. Besides that, you will not find black spots in Ilmberger carbon parts, and if you buy a full cowl set, the patterns of the different cowl parts all follow the same path, which ensures that your cowl looks like a one-off piece. All parts are delivered ready to install, plug-and-play, and we guarantee a no-hassle-return policy on part fitment.
Carbon clear-coat
Ilmberger only uses a special high-tech coating to finish its products with. All parts are provided with a unique clear plastic coating that gives the carbon structure an outstanding depth and is visually and technically superior over all conventional clearcoats. With regard to their protective effect, it plays in a league of its own: even after extensive testing under the toughest test conditions in the laboratory, the plastic coating shines like new! It has been TUV-certified for its resistance to aging, weathering and UV light.
Quality is Ilmberger CarbonParts' no. 1 priority.
Ilmberger stands for the highest quality and innovation in carbon fiber manufacturing. Each part is produced inĂżtheirĂżown factory, where they utilize specially developed prepreg for Ilmberger as the base material. This material is processed in a meticulous procedure in the autoclave, providing numerous advantages.
Prepeg Carbon
Prepreg, a pre-impregnated carbon fabric, is characterized by an even resin distribution with a high fiber volume content. This results in maximum strength and enhances the flexibility of the components. Processing in the autoclave, a high-pressure oven operating under controlled temperature and pressure conditions, ensures impeccable, uniform curing and a flawless surface finish. This method prevents air inclusions in the material and guarantees consistently high quality of the parts.
Craftsmanship meets high-tech
Ilmberger carbon parts are hand-laminated with great expertise and care, allowing for uniform fiber alignment without distortion. After curing in the autoclave, the part edges are precisely cut by a robot to ensure a perfect fit and top quality.
A globally unique aspect of Ilmberger's production process is the full plastic powder coating of all carbon parts. This coating not only shields the parts from environmental impacts, but also gives them an incomparable depth effect. No other carbon manufacturer offers this type of sealing, which prevents part aging and significantly prolongs their lifespan. Further details about the plastic powder coating can be found here.
Finish and Variants
The final clear coat layer on these components is high-gloss, guaranteeing a flawless, smooth surface that enhances the luxurious-sporty appearance of Ilmberger carbon parts. Each component leaving production facilities is a technological and design masterpiece that meets the highest standards.
Available in four variations: classic glossy or matte finish, and Black Diamond Carbon (also known as Forged Carbon Look), available in both gloss and matte. Forged Carbon Look features a distinctive, marble-like texture thanks to randomly arranged fibers, providing a striking visual appeal and enhanced strength. This makes it perfect for high-performance vehicle enthusiasts.
