MIVV Euro 5 options for 1290 Super Duke R
Italian exhaust specialist MIVV has launched a power-boosting Euro 5 slip-on for the KTM 1290 Super Duke R. Available in single and double configuration, the new MIVV X-M5 for muscular naked sports bikes can replace the stock muffler with a choice of model-specific solutions from MIVV, each designed for the 1,301 cc LC8 twin cylinder engine, simply slipping it directly onto the original manifold.
The company's Delta Race mufflers in carbon and stainless steel versions, and the new X-M5 in titanium, are stand-outs that add great looks as well as increased power. The X-M5 is available in single or in double configuration with underseat exiting.

| Delta Race |
The Delta Race silencer has a central body in carbon with a glossy finish or, alternatively, in brushed stainless steel to obtain a "pearled" effect. The exclusive shape that goes from conical to hexagonal and important details such as the 3k twill carbon end cap, double riveted perimeter bracket and solid machined inlet bushing make the Delta Race a great looking addition.
Mounted on the Super Duke R, the Delta Race delivers +2.2 hp of maximum power at 10,000 rpm; +1.20 Nm of maximum torque at 8,400 rpm and a weight saving of 1.70 kg. The dyno chart highlights a further "flicker" of torque/power in the midrange between 6,000 and 6,500 rpm.

| X-M5 |
The X-M5 in titanium is the latest addition to the MIVV exhaust range, and "raises the bar for performance and significant weight savings". The X-M5 has a streamlined central body, with a conical shape, made of grade 1 titanium. The aesthetic finish with a "pearled" effect is the result of a special manufacturing process. The silencer is equipped with a 3K twill carbon end cap closed by a removable protective grill that hides the dB killer.
It delivers +2.90 hp of maximum power at 9,900 rpm, + 1.70 Nm of maximum torque at 8,200 rpm and -1.70 kg weight saving. Along the delivery curve, the highest values are accompanied by a much higher performance from 5,500 to 7,500 rpm. The underseat exit version of the X-M5 sees a bit of maximum torque and power decrease (+1.30 hp at 10,000 rpm, +0.80 Nm at 8,500 rpm) due to the flow-friendly design and lower weight when compared to the single exit standard silencer.
To improve performance still further, MIVV recommends remapping the ECU; the map configuration will be available online.
