More power for the powerful ZX-10R
Akrapovic has launched a range of options for the 2016 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R, with designs said to be strongly inspired by the exhausts used by Tom Sykes and Jonathan Rea during the machine’s 2015 World Superbike Championship–winning season.
The Evolution Line (Carbon) is a full system designed to deliver an impressive increase in power across the entire rev range, while also improving torque delivery and decreasing weight by over 5 kg. Constructed from a high-grade, race-proven lightweight titanium alloy and finished with a hand-crafted carbon fibre hexagonal muffler and end cap for a power gain in excess of 16 hp (12.1 kW); an optional carbon fibre muffler bracket is available.
The Racing Line (Carbon) is a full stainless steel exhaust system with a hexagonal carbon fibre muffler sleeve, titanium inners and a carbon fibre end cap. Delivering a huge increase in power and torque across the entire rev range, this system also has an optional carbon fibre muffler bracket available.
Akrapovic has also launched two Slip-On Line exhausts. The carbon fibre version of the Slip-On Line is an EC-ECE type-approved exhaust that provides increases in power and torque across the entire rpm range with a reduction in weight. Features include a hexagonal muffler and end cap finished in hand-crafted, high-quality carbon fibre, with titanium pipes and muffler inners; optional titanium link-pipe carbon fibre muffler bracket available.
The Slip-On Line (Titanium) exhaust is aimed directly at markets where EC-ECE type approval is not valid. With an increase in power and torque, coupled with weight savings, the titanium version of the Slip-On Line is said to be a step up in performance. Designed with a short conical muffler for an enhanced racing appearance and finished with a carbon fibre end cap, the Slip-On Line offers a unique sharper racing sound - optional titanium link-pipe available. ECU remapping required when using the link pipes.
