MIVV for ADV
Italian exhaust specialist MIVV has added a new off-road exhaust design, the Dakar - first of all for the Yamaha Ténéré 700. Additional fitments and applications will follow in the coming months, and MIVV says that Dakar will add "performance and style to all the most popular off-road and ADV models."
The Dakar project is the result of the experience gained by the MIVV R&D department in rally racing - "our study of the specialist requirements in rally racing led to the development of a robust and durable slip-on configuration, capable of matching the style - and engine - of more demanding off-road bikes."
Manufactured in 304 natural stainless steel, Dakar is available to meet Euro 4 and Euro 5 requirements and has a special "pearled" steel or "black" ceramic-based finish - "which adds to the aesthetics and the ability to make the body more resistant to impacts than a more traditional exhaust.
"The new muffler also focuses heavily on lightness: if compared to OEM exhausts, the weight saving is really significant, helping to improve the driving feeling".
MIVV says that on the Ténéré 700 Dakar increases maximum power by +2.2 hp and torque by +1.4 Nm (values measured at the wheel), weighing in at just 2.10 kg (compared to 4.80 kg of the standard silencer) - the bench test results are available on the MIVV website and demonstrate power increases all the way up the rpm range.
Next to come to market will be a 2021 Honda Africa Twin application, followed straight away by the 2022 application, then the Ducati DesertX and Aprilia Tuareg 660.
