With development completed in January, Akrapovic has launched a fully racing-oriented Evolution Line Kit (titanium) exhaust system for the 1000 cc Honda CBR1000RR-R Fireblade. Using the HRC Race Kit, it has been developed at the recommendation of the R&D department of Honda Motor Corporation.
The Evolution Line Kit (titanium) is aimed directly at racing teams and riders using the CBR1000RR-R Fireblade on the track and under competition regulations, and therefore does not meet emission compliance requirements for street or on-highway use - it has been developed exclusively for use with Honda’s latest track-focused motorcycle.
Constructed entirely from low-weight titanium alloys, with complex parts cast in Akrapovic’s in-house titanium foundry (said to be the only one like it found worldwide in an exhaust factory), this kit is a totally bespoke system.
"Each part of the four headers that connect the system to the engine is cast in the foundry and formed to achieve an optimum configuration, ensuring that the fitment is perfect. This devotion and the use of state-of-the-art lightweight materials means the system weighs less than 5 kg. Optimal performance is achieved because the system delivers a perfect throttle response right through the rev range".
The relationship between Akrapovic and Honda Motor Corporation has resulted in the Slovenian exhaust specialist becoming the official manufacturer and supplier of the exhaust for the new 2020 CBR1000RR-R Fireblade. The HMC R&D department recommends use of the Evolution Line Kit (titanium) exhaust for the CBR1000RR-R Fireblade with the official HRC Race Kit.
