SC-Project - 2022 Aprilia MotoGP exhaust systems technical partner
The progress that Stefano Lavazza and Marco De Rossi have made with their SC-Project exhaust business since it was founded in 2006 has been remarkable. Their race credentials speak to the exhaustive R&D, high-tech manufacturing processes, testing and quality control that the company invests in - in race conditions as well as on the street.
In 2020, SC-Project embarked on a collaboration with Aprilia, initially with the supply of exhaust systems for the Aprilia RS 250 SP Trophy. In 2021, this was extended to include exhaust systems for the Aprilia RS 660 Trophy.
Now, for 2022, SC-Project is to be the official exhaust supplier for the RS-GP in the top tier of global racing - the MotoGP class.
Officially a factory team from this year, after months of testing and development work, Aprilia Racing has chosen SC-Project as its supplier of full exhaust system for its 2022 MotoGP effort - with the new RS-GP 2022 now a real factory bike - managed directly by the Aprilia Factory Team.
"The exhaust system for the new Aprilia RS-GP 2022 is totally manufactured inside our headquarters facilities near Milan," says Stefano. "Our aim is to make this project a case study in Italian design, engineering and manufacturing excellence - the exhaust is a full titanium system and is equipped with an exhaust valve - entirely machined from a solid block of titanium - developed in-house by SC-Project’s Race Department engineers."
Marco added that "this component is a technological masterpiece and throughout the electronic management of the bike allows an advanced and extremely precise management of the engine brake of the motorcycle, a fundamental aspect for the high performance and the huge power of the new RS-GP.
"All our SC-Project staff are excited about this new and important partnership between two Italian companies, and we are both dedicated to show what an Italian partnership can achieve at the top level of worldwide motorcycle competition, the MotoGP World Championship.
"Aprilia Racing has an illustrious racing legacy, having won 54 world titles - we are ready to help them add a new chapter to the Italian racing story."
