APRILIA ART Motogp 2013 RACE FAIRINGS & BODYWORK
Race fairings for the Aprilia ART (Aprilia Racing Technology) 2013 MotoGP machine are highly specialized, competition-only components. These kits are engineered to precisely replicate the distinctive 'Open Class' aerodynamics used during the 2013 season by teams like Cardion AB Motoracing (featuring Karel Abraham). They achieve maximum lightness and aerodynamic optimization for top-tier Superbike chassis performance. Manufactured in high-spec composites, primarily Fiberglass (GRP/FRP) with Kevlar-Carbon (K-K) reinforcement and pure Carbon Fibre (CFRP), these fairings ensure full FIM safety and technical compliance.

ART 2013 MotoGP – The Open Class Aerodynamic Edge
The 2013 ART was Aprilia's highly successful entry into the 'Open Class' (formerly CRT), essentially a highly modified RSV4 chassis. The bodywork is characterized by complex, aggressive angles optimized for high-speed stability and heat management, reflecting the specific aerodynamic tuning required at the Grand Prix level.
1. Material Selection and Prototype Rigidity:
| Material Type | Core Advantage | Specific Benefit for ART 2013 Fairings |
| GRP (Fiberglass) with K-K Reinforcement | Authentic Shape Replication and Resilience. | Provides a cost-effective, durable replica that captures the intricate, angular profile of the 2013 prototype. Reinforcement is critical for the complex design's rigidity. |
| Kevlar-Carbon (K-K) | Structural Safety and Tear Resistance. | Absolutely essential for the sealed lower fairing (belly pan), ensuring integrity to retain fluids, a non-negotiable safety requirement in top-level racing. |
| CFRP (Full Carbon Fibre) | Maximum Lightweight Optimization. | Used to replicate the ultra-lightweight original factory bodywork, delivering the highest strength-to-weight ratio and stiffness for professional applications. |
2. Design Specifics for MotoGP Functionality:
These are MotoGP-category fairings, designed for peak functionality and minimal weight, used by riders like Karel Abraham during the 2013 season.
-
Unique Frontal Profile: The upper fairing features the aggressive, multi-layered profile specific to the 2013 ART, including the optimized air intake and the sleek, lightweight race nose cone (devoid of any light apertures).
-
Enhanced Thermal Management: The V4 engine required significant heat extraction. The fairings feature oversized and strategically positioned exit vents on the side panels to maximize airflow over the radiator and headers, crucial for maintaining performance over a race distance.
-
Streamlined Underbelly: The lower fairing is tightly formed around the chassis and custom exhaust system, ensuring maximum ground clearance while guaranteeing the required volume for fluid containment.
-
Serviceability: The bodywork is designed for rapid pit-lane changes, relying on quick-release fasteners to allow mechanics immediate, tool-less access to the engine, electronics, and suspension components.
The fairings are designed for use with quick-release fasteners to simplify on-track assembly and disassembly. However, drilling and the quick-release fasteners themselves are not included in the kit and must be ordered separately.
