What is the effect of Rear Sets? Advantages and Disadvantages

Introduction

Compared to the genuine step it explains "difference" thoroughly!

There is a lot of people who consider it for various reasons such as an "OEM position is subtle..." "Wants to give a customize feeling" as a chance to turn it into a Rear Sets.

In particular, there are many people who experience riding on sports at the circuit and replace it with a Rear Set.

This time, what kind of effect is there by replacing to Rear Set? We will introduce the advantages and disadvantages of Rear Sets based on impressions of users who are using Rear Sets.

Advantages obtained by Rear Sets

[Advantages (1)] Position can be changed

Do most of the reasons for Rear Sets are this function?

"It is possible to change the position you want, from the OEM position for so-called all people, such as ""OEM position is subtle for sport riding"", and ""I want to increase more bank angle"". It seems that it is quite an important function.
"

For example, riding a car. Why you don't adjust the seat, according to your physique by sliding the seat when sitting in the driver's seat?

It is very easy to ride when the sitting position matches with the physique and to think that it makes the riding more safety.

The footpeg of the motorcycle is the same and it becomes an important part which decides the attitude of riding. Depending on the person, the "harmonious" position is different.

It is unexpectedly interesting to find a position that suits you by changing positions, while feel the operational feeling and change in riding taste.

[Advantages (2)] Footpeg are less slippery!

One of the features of the Rear Sets is that the cutting process is applied to the footpeg.

"This jagged grab holds the boots! It plays an active part as a non-slip when stepping on a footpeg.
"

It becomes easy to do the knee grip because the perseverance is effected by this Footpeg, and the sense of unity with the body increases. It is safe because it makes it less slippery even on riding on rainy days!

•There is a non-slip OEM footpeg, but a Rear Sets is more sharper than that, and a detailed processing has been given.

[Advantages (3)] High Class Customize Feeling Comes Out

The outside Rear Sets made mostly of cut-out of most footpeg.

In short, it is "How to make a part of the footpeg by cut-out from a mass of metal".

Incidentally, the OEM footpeg is made by a method called "Casting" which creates by pouring a high-temperature metal into the type of the footpeg shape.

(Imagining it is like pouring the dough into the mold when making the Taiyaki. ... It is such an image.)

The color variations are also abundant for each manufacturer.

It is good to bring out "Customize Feeling" with the outstanding color such as gold, and the "Passive Feeling" is also good in black!

In addition, the beauty of the complex shape and finishing that cannot be achieved easily in the casting will produce a "High Class feeling".

•Comparison with OEM footpeg

[Advantages (4)] Strength Comes Out

The reason why Rear Sets are made with cut-out is not just the "appearance".

[Advantages of Cut-out]

- It is easy to take strength

- There is almost no individual difference in the product.

It is possible to obtain the original strength of the material, because the mass of the metal is cut-out as it is.

Therefore, when the footpeg load is applied, the movement of the rear suspension is felt by the foot compared with the OEM, and it is more comfortable to ride.

Disadvantage

The price is expensive

It takes time and effort to cut from the metal mass during the manufacturing process, due to the features of cut-out. It is not suitable for mass production.

"There are disadvantages such as high price because there are many parts that are wasted and there is also a lot of extra cut-out from the mass."

Is there a case that does not pass the motorcycle inspection?

It depends on the Rear Sets, that it may not pass the motorcycle inspection if "the tip of the protrusion is a sharp shape".

In addition, there are Rear Sets of the structure that the rear brake switch does not adhere. Mainly, it is a Rear Sets that were made on the assumption of use in the race.

In that case, be careful as it will fall into a situation like the "Brake lamp does not light", even though the rear brake is stepped on.

Tired for a Long Ride

In the case of Rear Sets, the position comes to the upper side in order to secure the bank angle.

Therefore, it is a tough riding posture compared with OEM and it gets tired when riding a motorcycle for a long time, such as a long distance touring.

However, as what stated in ADVANTAGE (1), when looking for a position that fits the physique and comfortable feeling, the tiredness naturally eased.

It is a Rear Sets that combine with the operability that utilized the know-how and Italian taste in design.

Lineup and Specifications

It combines lightweight and high rigidity, by using a footpeg holder using ultra duralumin 7075 material.

In addition, it corresponds to the various foot sizes without operating the footpeg plate, by making the footpeg bar and front toe peg itself variable.

It does not require to replace the brake hose when changing the footpeg bar position, because the brake cylinders are always in the same position.

The "R Version", which is the highest grade, adopts a titanium G5 with a superlative material for all bolts.

In addition, all bearings are upgraded to the top-level bearings made by SKF Sweden and can be operated smoothly without extra force, such as shift-up down.

It is possible to choose each Footpeg, such as "Foldable Type" and "Fixed Type".

•Track System Footpeg Kit

• Track System Footpeg Kit "R Version"

It has its own footpeg shape, light shift feeling and other designs are good!

To make an impression, go to the circuit!

I wanted to ride comfortably dry, but unfortunately it was raining this day ... (or rather a typhoon came ... ...)

•Footpeg.....will not slip!

The Footpeg does not slip at all, even riding during rainy days....Somehow there is a feeling that it can be endured at the tip of the Footpeg.

When returning home and looking closely, it is certain that there is a jagged part of cut-out, but the tip of the Footpeg is swollen and it gets stuck into the boots when load is applied.

•A shift feeling that seems to be up and down for no reason! !

In regards to the shift feeling, it became "Light feeling like pushing a switch from a pedal".

It was an extra feeling with an OEM Footpeg due to the features of the motorcycle, because it is impossible to shift change unless you apply some effort into it.

"It is also effective to reduce fatigue in a town ride often repeating shift change because it does not require extra power!
"

...... Aside from that, it seems to be pleasant and shift change wastefully especially for motorcycles with quick shifter because it really enters repeatedly.

•It suddenly changes to the direct operation feeling, such as movement of the suspension and Footpeg load.

There is no Footpeg mounting plate, since the adjustment method only moves the Footpeg.

To that extent, the direct bolt-on structure of the frame and the Ultra-Duralumin high-strength material, the wonder and the movement of the suspension are transmitted directly.

In addition, the Footpeg load inside the corner approach and the Footpeg load to the outside at the rising edge... This has also changed to a position that is easy to load.

I suddenly replace it to a motorcycle which is easy to lift and easy to reverse. It is amazing! It is a feeling that is not felt first in the OEM Footpeg.

•This is effective! A Good Footpeg Shape

•It is an easy Footpeg adjustment function. It is possible to change positions simply by loosening the bolt here.

"•Red Dry carbon heel guard on the black base. It is the foot that a sense of high class and presence drifts.

Finally

What did you think?

It was an article with impressions about the effect of the Rear Sets.

In particular, as for changes in position, I think that it is a change in millimeters, and changes cannot be felt pictorially, but that change will change the ride posture, which will greatly affect riding such as knee grip and load movement.

In terms of appearance, it is also a part that can be changed to completely the image of the motorcycle just by replacing.

"The design and color of this maker are cool" ... "and" The Footpeg of the maker here is hard to slip!

Those are their preference, such as the design, color, texture and performance of each manufacturer. Please try to find a Footpeg like that!
