The heel guard for the BMW R 1300 GS by Ilmberger Carbon is an impressive addition to your motorcycle

Thanks to its exceptionally large size, it offers optimal protection and safety for your heels. The high-quality carbon material not only gives the component a sporty appearance but also a luxurious look. The heel guard fits perfectly with the frame guard, creating a harmonious overall appearance.

The name Ilmberger stands for the highest quality and innovation in carbon manufacturing. Each part is produced in our own facility, using prepreg specially developed for Ilmberger as the base material. This is processed in an elaborate autoclave process, offering numerous advantages.

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

Our carbon parts are laminated by hand with great experience and care, ensuring consistent fibre alignment without distortion. After curing in the autoclave, the edges of the parts are precisely cut by a robot to ensure a perfect fit and top quality.

A unique step in Ilmberger's production is the complete plastic powder coating of all carbon parts. This coating not only protects the parts from environmental influences but also gives them an unparalleled depth effect. No other carbon manufacturer offers this type of sealing, which prevents ageing and significantly extends the lifespan of the parts. More information about the plastic powder coating can be found here.

The final clear coat on this component is silk matte and ensures a perfect, smooth surface that further enhances the luxurious and sporty look of our carbon parts. Every part leaving our production is a masterpiece of technology and design that meets the highest standards.

Ilmberger is not only a leading manufacturer of carbon parts for the aftermarket but also a recognized OEM producer for renowned manufacturers such as Ducati and BMW. We produce parts for BMW in the World Superbike Championship (WSBK), as well as for the BMW factory team in the Endurance World Championship (EWC), where our parts are regularly put to the test under the toughest conditions.

The expertise gained from this flows into each of our products, improving each component individually.
