Yoshimura has unveiled a new Onyx Edition exhaust for the 2022 Suzuki Hayabusa that "looks as exclusive as it sounds".
Onyx Edition - shown here with carbon fibre end caps.
Onyx Edition is a Yoshimura proprietary plating process "with a beautiful dark mirror-like finish". It has been in development of this new finish process with an outside partner for over two years - "the result is a long lasting, luxurious deep shine that has outstanding durability and exceptional UV and temperature resistance".
Maintenance is said to be easy - just wipe down with mild soap or standard (non-caustic) cleaner and a microfibre towel.
Two custom-crafted aluminium, powder-coated heat shields are included with every set of R-77 dual slip-on mufflers.
Two versions of R-77 Race Series Onyx Edition duals are available for the new Busa - with a carbon fibre or stainless end cap with the Onyx treatment. "Both are stunning," says Yoshimura R&D of America's 'Big E' Erick Bartoldus. "Of course, there are also the original go-to polished R-77s with carbon fibre end caps additionally available. All versions are attached to our exclusive works finish tailpipes."
The R-77 dual mufflers reduce as much as 11.2 lbs in weight compared to the stock factory exhaust (5.08 kg), with the horsepower and torque increased accordingly.
