APRILIA RS125 1996 - 1998 RACE FAIRINGS & BODYWORK
Race fairings for the Aprilia RS 125 (1996–1998), covering the late-stage production of the original Mk1 'Extrema' chassis, are essential for track conversion. These kits are engineered for maximum weight savings, optimal two-stroke cooling, and the iconic GP-derived aerodynamic profile. Constructed from resilient race-grade composites like Fiberglass (GRP/FRP) and Kevlar-Carbon (K-K), they ensure the bike is fully competitive and compliant with mandatory fluid containment regulations.

RS 125 (1996–1998) - Mk1 Chassis Specifics
The 1996–1998 models fall under the Mk1 generation (often referred to as the Extrema) and feature a distinct chassis, subframe, and tank layout compared to the later Mk2 ('99+) model. Race fairings for this period must be specifically designed for these mounting points.
1. Material Choice and Racing Requirements:
| Material Type | Core Advantage | Specific Benefit for 1996–1998 RS 125 |
| GRP (Fiberglass) | Ideal Balance of Cost and Durability. | The workhorse of club racing. Quality GRP provides sufficient stiffness and is easily repairable, making it ideal for regular track use. |
| Kevlar-Carbon (K-K) | Targeted Impact Protection (Safety). | Crucial for reinforcing high-stress areas like the fairing mount points and the sealed belly pan. This composite resists puncture and tearing, protecting the track from spilled fluids. |
| CFRP (Full Carbon Fibre) | Lightest Possible Mass. | The choice for highly competitive riders seeking to reduce the bike's overall mass to meet or beat the minimum weight requirements for the 125cc class. |
2. Design Elements and Track Functionality:
The race bodywork streamlines the bike's aesthetics for purely functional performance.
-
Exhaust Clearance is Mandatory: The lower fairing is meticulously shaped to provide generous clearance for aftermarket race expansion chambers, which are critical for maximizing the two-stroke engine's performance. This fairing piece forms the required sealed fluid catchment pan.
-
Aerodynamic Efficiency: The race nose cone replaces the heavy, angular street headlight assembly with a smooth, aerodynamic panel, significantly reducing frontal drag and improving the rider's tuck.
-
Mk1 Specific Tail Section: The tail unit is designed to fit the unique Mk1 rear subframe and chassis geometry (which housed the oil and coolant tanks on this generation), providing a lightweight shell and a non-slip foam pad for the rider.
-
Preparation for Quick Access: The fairings are engineered for use with quick-release fasteners, allowing rapid removal and installation for essential two-stroke maintenance and tuning at the track.
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.
