The left heel protector for the BMW R 1300 R combines protection and aesthetics at the highest level. With its robust design, it is a durable detail that enhances both everyday usability and appearance.
The innovative BDC is used as the material here, giving the component a completely new and individual touch. The surface of the BDC part is unique in every piece and resembles marble. The BDC is laminated by hand at Ilmberger and cures in several stages in the autoclave. The different fibers scatter the incoming light and create a previously unknown reflection.
The final clear coat layer is kept in a timeless glossy version and emphasizes the luxuriously sporty look of the component. To optimally protect this high-quality material from environmental influences, we use a specially developed plastic coating on all surfaces. This, in combination with our clear coat, provides a unique depth effect that particularly highlights the high-quality nature of the material.
