Akrapovic and Rapid Bike in technical collaboration

Rapid Bike has announced a technical collaboration with Akrapovic in order to offer a range of injection maps for Evo and Racing modules to be installed together with Akrapovic exhaust systems designed for race use (which are not meeting EU emissions requirements for street use).



Dedicated maps are available for download that use their own fuelling technology to optimise a motorcycle's engine performance once it is equipped with an Akrapovic exhaust system. "This partnership is extremely valuable considering the Euro 4 and upcoming Euro 5 legislation, and the severe limitations to the performance of the latest motorcycle models being used for racing purposes," said Rapid Bike Business Development Manager Maurizio Bellucci. 


"Tailormade maps for Akrapovic exhaust systems are effective over the entire range of the power delivery curve, while improving the motorcycle's drivability, especially at lower and medium rpm (in the 'closed loop area'), thanks to the innovative management strategy of the stock lambda sensor signal."
Installation of the maps is done through the free to download Rapid Bike Master software, currently available for BMW S 1000 XR, model years from 2015, Honda CBR 1000 RR/R, Kawasaki ZX-10R/Z 900 RS and Suzuki GSX-R 1000.
