Zard for Rocket III, 765 cc Speed Triple and Tiger 900
Everyone has heard the famous expression "Go Big or Go Home", right? Well, for MY 2021, Italian exhaust manufacturer Zard really is "Going Big"!
BIG weight savings, BIG hp gains, BIG torque gains and a BIG opportunity for Zard's dealers with no less than SIX new exhaust designs available immediately for SIX of the BIGGEST selling 2021 new models on the market - backed by a BIG choice of options.
There are systems for the Ducati Streetfighter V4 and 2020/2021 Diavel, a return to the 4-cylinder exhaust sector with an all-new 4-into-2-into-1 for the Kawasaki Z900 and, seen here, three new exhausts for three of the new Triumph models.
The Zard name is closely associated with Triumph and is well known to the 'Brit Bike' riding family, so it has gone BIG with three 2020/2021 models getting Zard options - the Tiger 900, the Rocket III and the Street Triple.

For the 2020/2021 Tiger 900, Zard has a model-specific slip-on with the entry level (standard version) in racing stainless steel with removable dB killer and carbon end cap and mounting support band. The Euro 5 compliant versions have either a high-temperature resistant black finish or titanium sleeve. The exhaust mounts with the side bags and the original centre stand.
For the 2020/2021 Triumph Rocket III, Zard has come up with a completely new shape for what is the largest displacement production motorcycle in the world - a triple outlet end cap for Triumph's massive triple!

This slip-on will be available in stainless steel with carbon fibre end cap and left and right covers (standard and racing versions) and delivers a +2.5 hp increase from the Euro 5 version. Options include a billet aluminium end cap, a high-temperature resistant black finish and carbon sleeves. Zard says that the design results in improved gas flow and an aggressive sound at the rpm 'sweet spot' - just right where riders like it.
For the 2020/2021 765 cc Street Triple, Zard says that the cone design comes from its slip-on for the 2004 Speed Triple and, subsequently, the market-specific Speed Trophy models sold by Triumph in Italy.

Hugely popular at the time, it was then adapted to the 675 Street Triple and still sells well today. Now Zard has updated the design for the 765 cc Street Triple line-up, with end caps and the carbon heat shields included as integral standard protective essentials, rather than the aesthetic options that many manufacturers offer them as.
The slip-on for the 765 is in stainless steel with removable dB killer, and, like all these new Zards, they are available in racing and Euro 5 homologated versions.
These exhausts were premiered on 12th February, and a full video (in Italian with English subtitles) is available at youtube.com/officinezard.
