Any experience or thoughts with these rear sets?

Mitchlguzin · Jan 18, 2013

Hey everyone,

Looking to add a couple things on my S in the off season. I'm leaning towards the Gilles kit but stumbled across these.

Any thoughts, any experience with this brand, etc? At $490 they seem/look like a great deal. Thanks in advance...

Ducabike !!!

They were on my shortlist for looks/functionality and great price, until I found Lightechs at a similar price point

I will chime in here, as a rider and not as a shop who sells things.
One important thing is to be able to get spare parts, within a reasonable time frame. They look good, just like all the other do and the price is good as well.
Find out if spare parts are available and what kind of warranty they come with. I ran into the same problem a few years back, I purchased some rearsets that looked great and worked great as well, 18 month later I lost the brake lever because a bolt came loose, just to find out that these rearsets were no longer produced and I could not get parts for them:. Once you have all the basics covered go with what you like the best, with what you think looks the best and what you are ready to spend for it.

I agree and my extra 50 cents is I personally think they look quite fussy. Keep it simple,neat and tidy,but thats just me. The Lightechs are minimal and workman like,my personal favourites. The Rizomas are prettier but dont look as tough. I haven"t seen the Ducabike ones yet. Each to his own tho,if you like them,pull the pin.

I liken them to ski bindings - all good, asthetics and shine in different areas.

They look fairly adjustable which is key to me. Although I still think Gilles, Rizoma, and Ducabike's look better IMO. The right side looks pretty bulky to me.

Anyone actually fit these 4Racing?

All I know is if you don't use Lightechs, there is a posibility your rearsets could lockup, fall off, or cause people to point and laugh at you when you ride by them. Coincidently, I happen to have Lightechs, so I know this to be a fact

who got the lightech for the best price?

And they help with the heat, too

I paid 537.19 euros for the folding peg/normal shift version from carpimoto.com

That's what I thought. They look a bit clunky, maybe they're part of the Transformers.

I have Rizoma's and like them. I'd be a little wary of Lightechs they give a whole new meaning to "heat" problem.

+1 silver & black for me. Not fitted yet but will be in 31 days when I return to Spain & fit all my Ducabike parts. Fark me I can't wait.......LOL!

Just want to add you need to look at structural integrity. The lightechs, for lack of a better word, crash the best out of the current offering. I may be off, but I always buy the parts that will hold up in a crash the best.

i liked that there name isn't plastered all over the place, the folding option, and how adjustable. But I guess since you're always dropping your bike. a good fit for you

love my Rizoma rearsets.... and they sell at a much better price and a very great product especially if you're just street riding
