MIVV for 2023 Transalp
Italian exhaust manufacturer MIVV first launched products for the Honda Transalp back in the year 2000 - it first went on sale in 1987 and was years ahead of its time.
Honda gave it 20 years, finally withdrawing it as the XL700ABS in 2007. However, the new XL750 looks set to be a staple for many years to come - the market has changed dramatically in the past decade, and so too have the roads and traffic conditions. The concept of the "crossover" is now a well-established and growing solution, though largely because such platforms make excellent urban and long-distance highway machines these days.
Available in several finishes, MIVV now has alternative (homologated) options for those looking to change-out the stock XL750 exhaust including the two Dakar and Oval exhaust versions seen here.

| Oval black |
The latest iteration of the Transalp (the 6th?) sees it going from V-twin to parallel twin with 21" front and 18" rear. Honda designed the lively, almost 'sporty' 755 cc engine for two comeback brands - the Hornet CB750 and the Transalp Gl750.
MIVV's choice of slip-ons both deliver reduced weight, improved performance, convincing sound and winning aesthetics.
The DAKAR is offered in two finishes with high positioning, the OVAL has a choice of three finishes and standard positioning - both work with side cases.
Optional accessories include two model-specific carbon fibre heat shield designs. Plus, there is a stainless steel de-cat pipe option for competition use.
The DAKAR is a project deriving from the experience acquired by the brand in the field of rally competitions. It is a simple and sturdy option, making it suitable for demanding off-road use.

| Inox |
The INOX version uses natural 304 steel with the addition of a special "pearled" effect, which makes it highly resistant'. The BLACK is created by painting the stainless steel body using a special ceramic-based process. The DAKAR delivers maximum power of +2.00 hp at 9,400 rpm; max torque of +2.00 Nm at 7,300 rpm and it weighs in at -1.10 kg.
The OVAL is a muffler with great attention to detail and capable of adapting to different types of motorcycles, representing the best compromise between design and performance. In the case of the TRANSALP, it adopts the standard positioning, not interfering with the possible assembly of side cases.
Three versions are offered - the INOX has a brushed 304 steel body, natural finish, the BLACK features the 'Black Moon' effect produced by ceramic-based paint and the BLACK with carbon end cap has a brushed black satin finish obtained from a special colouring process, with the addition of a carbon end cap.
The OVAL delivers maximum power of + 1.00 hp at 9,400 rpm; max torque of +1.00 Nm at 7,300 rpm and weighs in at -2.00 kg.
