Thinking about putting a bonamici rearset on your v2? Dont

The stock rear sets on the newer V2s are really low, and on advice from some here I went with some aftermarkets. The manufacturing quality of the bonamicis is very high, so I guess the $700 price tag is appropriate. However, even at the tallest setting, your feet are barely higher than OEM pegs. Also, if you’re a track rider and you have the tendency to put your ball of the foot on the peg, and the heel of your foot on the heel guard, you won’t be able to on the brake side. The heel guard is mounted 3 inches forward of the OEM heel guard because it’s used to mount the piston housing.

Having heard all that, anyone have any recommendations for taller rear sets? Or a way to rise everything? TIA

Ducati Performance by Rizoma are very nice. High quality, engineered by Ducati so they work flawlessly. Parts are a bit more expensive and not typically in stock at your dealer. They’re also sexy…

Woodcraft rearsets rock. We’ve used them on several dozen Panigale track bikes over the years. Simple, well engineered, made in the USA, parts are easy to get. If you crash at the track and don’t have spares, there’s a high probability that someone has a part they will work.

Of the Italian aftermarket, I think CNC Racing are nicest.

All of the above can be adjusted higher and farther back than OEM

Nonsense/stuff/crap.

Not that spider is, but 90% of the CNC products being sold is nothing more than farkels.

I was rather impressed with the rearsets I got from CNC Racing. It doesn't seem like crap to me and it's nicer to use than the DP Rizoma, which are sloppier.
 
My main complaint with the DP ones would be pricing. I don't seem them being sloppy but am only comparing them to the OEM ones. I'm also not a fan of how the rubber mounted to the toe pieces can rotate but a little safety wire solved that problem.

I had the DP ones and replaced them with CNC Racing ones and I think they are much better. 🤷‍♂️

I’m not trying, and I have absolutely perfect sliders!

I’ve managed 52° of lean so far after my four track events. I expect I'll get my knee down again this year (last time was about 25 years or so ago) and hopefully it won't be immediately followed by my hip, shoulder and head... 🤣

Good call. Spider also makes a very solid product. I’ve raced on their eqt.

That said, there have been fitment issues in the past with the V4. We experienced it with OEM bodywork, DP track day bodywork as well as Sharkskinz.

They are +40mm over stock in their highest settings. You won't find much higher from any other rearsets with most only offer +25-30mm. I have no issues with the heel guards on track but can see why some people would dislike it. Happy with them overall.

Bonamici is higher than stock, you can also set it further back. I noticed a massive difference between stock and Bonamici when I set it up. Here is a pic of Bonamici on right and stock on left, the Bonanici sits higher and further back

I have long legs and still, I struggle to lock in my inner thighs on the tank pads. My legs are about 1-2 inches below the sweet spot. I really notice it on the track when on a long straight followed by a tight corner, which necessitates heavy braking.
