SC Project Heat Shield Carbon Fibre Protector for S 1000 RR 2019-2025

SC Project Heat Shield Carbon Fibre Protector for S 1000 RR 2019-2025

The BMW S 1000 RR (2019–2025) is an engineering marvel—a superbike that combines state-of-the-art technology with breathtaking performance. Every inch of this machine is precision-crafted to optimize speed, control, and agility. But as any serious rider knows, riding hard—especially with a performance exhaust—generates serious heat. That’s where the SC Project Carbon Fibre Heat Shield Protector becomes a valuable and stylish addition.

This heat shield isn’t just a visual enhancement—it’s a functional upgrade, protecting both rider and components from exhaust heat while delivering the kind of race-ready aesthetic the S 1000 RR deserves. Crafted in Italy from high-quality carbon fibre, this heat shield is lightweight, tough, and designed to integrate perfectly with SC Project exhaust systems and the aggressive lines of the S 1000 RR.

Why a Heat Shield Matters

While titanium and carbon fibre exhausts like the SC Project CR-T, S1, or SC1-R significantly reduce weight and increase performance, they also channel extreme heat away from the engine at high speed. This heat can radiate toward bodywork, swingarms, boots, and legs, especially during spirited riding or in high-temperature environments.

A heat shield plays a critical role in:

• Preventing burns and heat discomfort to the rider

• Protecting boots and riding gear from wear or damage

• Shielding adjacent components like fairings or rear suspension from heat exposure

• Enhancing overall safety and comfort during extended rides

The SC Project Carbon Fibre Heat Shield isn’t just an accessory—it’s a purpose-driven component that makes riding more enjoyable and safer, while giving your bike an aggressive custom look.

Key Features of the SC Project Carbon Fibre Heat Shield

1. 100% Carbon Fibre Construction

The heat shield is manufactured from high-temperature-resistant carbon fibre, the same material used in MotoGP and WSBK. Carbon fibre offers the perfect balance of:

• Exceptional heat resistance

• High strength-to-weight ratio

• Lightweight design (significantly lighter than aluminum or stainless steel)

• Modern, motorsport-inspired appearance

The raw carbon finish with its deep weave pattern is a visual hallmark of high-performance racing components, giving your S 1000 RR a serious upgrade in both form and function.

2. Custom Fit for SC Project Exhausts and OEM Mounting Points

This carbon fibre heat shield is precision-engineered to fit seamlessly with SC Project exhaust systems for the 2019–2020 S 1000 RR. It also aligns with OEM mounting points, meaning:

• No drilling

• No fabrication

• No modifications

It’s a simple, clean installation designed to complement the exhaust and integrate with the bike’s factory architecture. Whether you run a CR-T, SC1-R, S1, or another SC Project model, this shield mounts easily and looks like it was made specifically for your bike—because it was.

3. Heat-Deflection Design

The carbon shield’s curved surface and offset mounting help direct heat away from key components. By creating a barrier between the hot exhaust surface and the surrounding area, it allows for better thermal management, reducing the risk of heat soaking parts like:

• Rider’s foot or ankle area

• Rear brake reservoir

• Swingarm and shock linkage

• Boot soles and riding gear

This is especially important during track days, summer riding, or high-load scenarios where the exhaust reaches maximum temperatures.

Visual Appeal: Subtle, Yet Striking

While performance and protection are the primary goals, it’s impossible to ignore the visual impact this carbon heat shield brings. Its sleek profile, glossy weave, and SC Project branding exude motorsport class.

It enhances the tail and mid-section of the bike by:

• Breaking up metallic and plastic textures

• Adding a high-end performance touch

• Complementing other carbon parts (such as tank covers, heel plates, or fenders)

If you’re building a show bike or just appreciate clean, performance-driven design, the SC Project carbon fibre heat shield is an aesthetic upgrade that fits the bill perfectly.
