Dakar and Speed Edge slip-ons for the Tuareg 660 


Italian exhaust specialist MIVV has released a model-specific version of its recently introduced 'Dakar' system - designed especially for the latest generation of ADV models - for Aprilia's Tuareg 660.

The mid-range displacement ADV market is growing quickly, and the enduro chassis and RS and Tuono shared twin also makes an ideal platform for MIVV's 'Speed Edge' silencer and additional optional accessories.

Both exhausts are compatible with original side cases and slip straight onto the stock manifold for a modification-free, fully reversible install, and fully Euro 5 compliant.

The 'Dakar' is said to have been born from the manufacturer's experience in rally racing. Made of 304 stainless steel with a special highly resistant "pearled" finish, it is a robust and durable exhaust available in natural or black finish.

MIVV says that its dyno data (measured at the wheel) shows a +1.10 hp increase (at 9,400 rpm) and +0.50 Nm increase (at 6,400 rpm) for the maximum power and torque - with a 2.30 kg weight saving.

Already tried and tested in off-road applications, the 'Speed Edge' silencer is recognisable for its practical hexagonal shape, which allows the exhaust to be as close as possible to the frame. Two versions are available for the Tuareg 660 - titanium body and black 304 stainless steel body with "Black Moon" effect - a durable and highly resistant finish obtained using a special ceramic-based paint process. Both feature a carbon end cap and anchor bracket that add a touch of aggressiveness to this silencer. 

Testing shows an increase in torque and maximum power equal to +1.00 hp (9,500 rpm) and +0.80 Nm (at 6,500 rpm) with a weight saving of just under 2 kg compared to the stock configuration.

Options for both exhausts include a de-cat pipe for situations where road homologation is not required and a carbon heat shield.
