Inner exhaust heat shield lower carbon glossy BMW R 1300 RS

Front exhaust heat shield on the header for BMW R 1300 R and RS

The front exhaust heat shield on the header for the BMW R 1300 R was specially developed for the thermally highly stressed area of the boxer engine and protects both the carbon itself and adjacent components from extreme heat exposure. Thanks to its precise adaptation to the contour of the header, optimal heat dissipation is ensured, while at the same time the weight reduction compared to the standard component is clearly noticeable. Ilmberger Carbon combines maximum temperature resistance with its characteristic lightweight construction – a functional upgrade that underlines the performance philosophy of the R 1300 R. The exact fit guarantees tool-free installation and integrates seamlessly into the lines of the boxer engine.

Highest quality from Ilmberger

Ilmberger stands for the highest quality and innovation in carbon manufacturing. Every part is produced in our own facility, using prepreg specially developed for Ilmberger as the base material. This is processed in an autoclave, which offers numerous advantages.

Advantages of prepreg and autoclave processing

Prepreg, a pre-impregnated carbon fabric, is characterized by even resin distribution and a high fiber volume content. This results in maximum strength and increased flexibility of the components. Processing in an autoclave, a high-pressure oven, ensures perfect, uniform curing and a flawless surface. This method prevents air inclusions and ensures consistently high quality.

Handcraft and precision

Our carbon parts are laminated by hand with great experience and care, enabling consistent fiber alignment without distortion. After curing, the edges are precisely cut by robot to ensure a perfect fit and the highest quality.

Unique plastic powder coating

A globally unique step in Ilmberger's production is the complete plastic powder coating of all carbon parts. This protects the parts from environmental influences and gives them an incomparable depth effect. This sealing prevents the parts from aging and significantly extends their service life.

Perfect surface

The final clear coat layer is high-gloss and ensures a perfect, smooth surface that further emphasizes the luxurious sporty look of our carbon parts. Every part that leaves our production facility is a masterpiece of engineering and design.
