Ducati Corse by Rizoma rearset

Has anybody installed these? These are exactly what I’m looking for. I’m wondering if they’d fit my 959. I’d assume so bc the pick up points are the same.

Back when the 959 came out. Rizoma was selling these rear sets through Rizoma dealers. They were over priced in my opinion because they were just a bling factor. They didnt have adjustable footpegs just which is what people buy rear sets for. Unless they just want to make them look pretty. Which in that case I tell guys to just buy carbon heal rests different footpegs, different shifter and brake arms with brake and shifter peg. And leave the main body alone. That would be less expensive than buying a set of Rizoma rear sets that were as useful as the stock oem ones. But at least if you changes what I wrote above you were have prettier rear sets.

In 2018 when the new Ducati V4 came out. Rizoma signed a contract with Ducati. Now Ducati was exclusive dealer for Rizoma rear sets and called them "Ducati Performance" Ducati sold rear sets for the V4, and V2 (which fits the 959 ,V2, 1199 and 1299). Rizoma just made them a little more polished than the way they were before and raised the prices. But they still remained the same rear sets with no rider foot peg adjustability. Except the price went from around $650 to $1150-$1200 I believe just because they were now Ducati Performance instead of just Rizoma. Once Rizoma signed the contract with Ducati in 2018 all Rizoma rearsets for all Panigales 1299 and older were no longer available except through Ducati with a price increase. Rizoma even copied the CNC Racing RPS Ducati V4 rear sets and called them Ducati performace. Granted these were finally adjustable. The only difference is that Rizoma polished their to be shiny while CNC Racing are either black or silver and retail for $1119.95 CNC Racing RPS Adjustable Rearset for the Ducati Panigale V4 / S / Speciale while the Rizoma Ducati performance which are an exact copy but still not as strong as CNC Racing and retail between $1195.95 to $1258.95 depending where you go https://amsducati.com/ducati-panigale-v4-corse-rear-sets

Just because they say Ducati performance doesnt mean they are better. Even though Im not fan of Rizoma rear sets. Before Rizoma signed a contract with Ducati. The Rizoma rear sets were better quality. Once they signed with Ducati , its all about the profit. So Ducati said make them a bit thinner hear, make the shifting mechanism using less expensive parts. Basically to buy for less and sell for more and make a greater profit. Take for example the 1299S or V4S electronic suspension. Its only a little bit better than the base model suspension. The inner guts are not as well build or performance orientated as my FGRT ohlins front forks on my base 1299. Same with the rear shock. My DU466 is better than the Ohlins that came on the 1299S. Go with the one of the 3 CNC Racing rear sets I showed you. Two out of 3 can be set as regular or reverse shift. And the evo gp limited with short shift that are the strongest can only be set as reverse shift. @Mick1976 do you agree with me on my write up. I still wonder why people bought rizoma rear set when they work like stock

I agree with you Cycler. I never understood why someone would pay that kind of money for a rearset that isn't even adjustable. You could get actual corse rearsets (V4RS) for the same or less price than the Rizoma "Performance" ones, lmao.

I would also recommend either going with a company who makes an adjustable version. If you're just obsessed with bling, anodize/polish the stock ones or swap out their individual parts.

So I have a set of these for my V4R as a back up just because of shift linkage dims issues I have had on the bike with the V4RS as well as Spider.
Here is my input on what I ran on my 959 to what I am running on V4R.

On my 959 I ran Ducati Corse RS rear sets - which where the best resets I have ever used (honestly the DP versions are pretty close from twin RS, too) The thing is they are over designed. Going down on then and then replacing parts is very OD. Moving to the design of DP and RS for V2/V4 the design is way more simplified which is much more improved in many ways. Adjusting is easy, replacing parts is easy. The Rizoma DP sets seem to be ok, not the best but maybe the EASIEST - shift linkage is MUCH shorter. I do think you could still use the Twin DP sets which are better on one V2, pretty sure.

I have ran loads of rear sets and honestly few of them are good. I did really like woodcraft for a long time but I got to the point that the foot pegs + shift // brake levers are too long and I would drag them all over the track. So basically over it, but pretty good if your speed isn't too high.

Not sure why people are saying these Riz DP aren't adjustable - they are. Its simple adjustability but when brands come to the table which cray adjustability its over kill and over designed.

Thanks for the insight. Corse materiel is definitely top notch but a little out of my price range ($1700 + shipping + duty). These look a little more adjustable than the 2 settings on the DP version. Nice to see that adjustments can be easily made on these new DCbR rearsets. Looks like all fasteners are accessible without disassembly or lots of faffing.

.... me $1700 for rear sets.

Are they made from gold ?

Unobtanium

or its cousin, ridgidium.

Or rigidium’s cousin, whogivesashitium. “Unobtainium” hardly. Ben, Kevin and Mario sold a bunch of those things when the RS 18 program was done.

I just saw the DP rear sets, the ones Karl likes the most, for $1100 shipped brand new

I have them and like them but the shifter throw when set up for GP shift could definitely have been made shorter

......’ Ducati for ya...

Picked up a set of these from Pure Ducati for $1100 otd (they were running a 30% Memorial Day sale). I gotta say I was pleasantly surprised by the great customer service. Shipping was prompt and they were missing install instructions . They got me the instructions in less than 24 hrs.

Build quality is exceptionally good. Great finish and fit. Super smooth and precise action. They install pretty easily. And they fit the 959. From what I can tell they have more adjustability than the xx99 DP rearsets. There’s 4 different positions on theses as opposed to 2 with the DP rearset. You’ll get +20-30 mm on the Y-axis and +10 mm on the X-axis from OEM.

Pro tip: if you have trouble w any bolts, just heat the .... out of them (except the one on the shifter rocker arm with the plastic washer). Ducati slathers your shifter bolts with thread locker.

Very nice, now do yourself a favour and consider ordering a spare set of pegs for when you introduce them to the asphalt one track day

X has a lot more than 10mm adjustment on my dp’s

Like Paul said neither are sturdy

Going fast is not cheap : )

Quick ride report: These are very good! I think worth the money and I know it sounds crazy to spend $1k on rearsets but they're a touch point and having the adjustability and precision is really exceptional.

Hey man, can you please send me the instructions? I have the same set and want to change to gp shift. Thank you!

Just move the rod end on the rear set side to the other position. If you look, it’s an L shape with a threaded hole on each leg. Std shift is one, GP shift is the other. Just move it to the other threaded hole and adjust length of shifter rod to accommodate proper foot position. Nothing else is needed.

Thanks man, I just got it done. But how do you adjust the length of the shifter rod? I thought it was fixed.

The rod is threaded at the connection to the tie rod end and to the shift sensor. Loosen the lock nut on the tie rod end and back it out to extend the length. You can also back the rod itself away from the sensor to increase length to get your shift pedal into the correct position best suited for you.
