Rear Swingarms for Motorcycles – Technology, Weight Reduction, and Exclusivity

Upgrade one of the most important load-bearing components of the chassis

The rear swingarm forms the connection between the frame, rear suspension, and rear wheel. This component bears heavy loads during acceleration, braking, and cornering, playing a crucial role in the stability and handling of the motorcycle. In this collection, you will find complete aftermarket rear swingarms for riders who are not satisfied with just a visual upgrade.

• Complete model-specific replacement of the original rear swingarm
• Developed for precise fit and correct alignment
• Premium constructions including full Carbon
• Potential weight savings on an important part of the chassis
• An exclusive technical and visual upgrade for your motorcycle

A complete rear swingarm is fundamentally different from a rear swingarm cover or protector. This concerns the actual load-bearing part where the rear wheel, rear axle, and various components of the rear suspension are mounted. The construction, dimensions, and material choice must therefore be precisely tailored to the specific motorcycle model.

Full Carbon Rear Swingarms for High-End Motorcycle Projects

In this collection, you will find, among others, full Carbon rear swingarms from BST BlackStoneTek. Carbon allows for combining high structural stiffness with relatively low weight. When an aftermarket rear swingarm is actually lighter than the original part, the unsprung mass around the rear wheel is also reduced. This can help the rear suspension respond more quickly to irregularities.

However, the exact impact on weight, stiffness, and handling varies per motorcycle and version. Therefore, we provide as much technical information as possible with each product. A complete rear swingarm must be chosen based on the exact motorcycle model, year of manufacture, and the existing version of components such as brakes, rear suspension, and drivetrain.

Frequently Asked Questions About Motorcycle Rear Swingarms

What is the difference between a rear swingarm and a rear swingarm cover?

A rear swingarm is a load-bearing part of the chassis. A rear swingarm cover is mounted over or alongside the original rear swingarm and is mainly intended for appearance and light surface protection.

Can I install an aftermarket rear swingarm myself?

This is only recommended if you have sufficient technical knowledge, the right tools, and the official installation data. For most riders, professional installation is the safest choice.

Are bearings and mounting materials included?

This varies per product. Always check the scope of delivery on the product page. Certain original parts may need to be reused.

Does every rear swingarm fit every model year?

No. Even within the same model range, mounting points, wheel sizes, brake components, and suspension parts can differ. Always select the exact motorcycle model and year of manufacture.
