During the Intermot show in Germany this past October, Ilmberger Carbon – a company founded by former racer Julius Ilmberger that builds carbon-fiber pieces for high-performance motorcycles – unveiled a Ducati Panigale V4 build.The build on Ducati’s first production V4 superbike displayed something unique and of top quality.
To achieve such high quality, the company uses superior autoclave carbon process with highest standard in prepreg weaving. This process creates the lightest and toughest carbon fiber pieces that are UV resistant. All parts are TUV and ABE approved and are environmentally friendly.This is the same quality that BMW Motorrad hired the Germany-based company to create for its $78,000 HP4 Race – a bike we tested at Circuit of the Americas.Now Ilmberger Carbon has expanded its Ducati Panigale V4 offering in three flavors: Race, Street Gloss and Street Matte.The Street versions are for, you guessed, street-going bikes. As for the Race, the carbon-fiber parts are ready for track use, and include front and tail pieces that don’t include lights, mirrors or license plate brackets.raceThe final three variations of the Ducati Panigale V4 Carbon are real head-turners. These builds features full carbon fiber shell, plus frame and engine covers. The attention to detail and precision carbon fiber manufacturing at Ilmberger is truly impressive.Ilmberger also provides carbon fiber parts direct to riders and whether they order one part or an entire carbon bike package they are shipped to the US with free Fedex shipping.For additional information, visit Ilmberger’s website: www.Ilmberger-Carbon.com.

Senior Editor Nic de Sena rode through Malibu with Gard Hollinger, who co-founded Arch Motorcycle with his friend, Keanu Reeves. The 1s is a unique ride for sure, and Nic explains what makes the bike really stand out.

In our second segment, Associate Editor Teejay Adams chats with multiple Emmy award-winning writer, Producer, Director, and actor, Thom Beers. the former Chairman & CEO of Fremantle Media North America, responsible for American Idol and America’s Got Talent.
Thom’s fertile imagination led to most of the really big reality TV shows such as ‘Deadliest Catch’ (now in its 17th season!), and many others. Of course for us in the motorcycle world, you’ll be interested to hear the genesis and story of how he started the first real fabrication reality show ‘Monster Garage’, that showcased Jesse James, and then how that led to ‘Biker Build Off’ and the ‘Zombie Choppers’ movie.
You’d imagine that most of Thom’s time is spent sitting behind a desk and on his phone. Not so. His intense stories of capturing much of the content for these shows make for some hair-raising listening.
