GPR 'Furore Silentium' 95 dB exhaust systems
'Silent Fury' certainly is the back story behind the new titanium exhaust system introduced at EICMA by long established and sustainability pioneering exhaust specialist GPR Italia.
Co-owner Mauro Orlandi told IDN that this new titanium system - seen here for the Yamaha Ténéré 700 - meets the 95 dB noise level limit that many local and regional authorities in Europe are imposing in their jurisdictions.
This lower limit is more restrictive than the current EU standard approval regulations, and what started out as a draconian over-reaction to perceived rural noise issues in the Tyrol is now spreading and being adopted in an ever-increasing number of European regions.
An evolution from its existing Euro 5 EU approved and homologated silencers, the new line is made using mechanical silencing technology "which allows perfect compliance with the new requirements, even with complete systems like this one for the Ténéré 700 that is equipped with approved catalysts.
"Using titanium means it is lighter than the OEM system and that helps to deliver a +2.5 hp power increase in its approved configuration - with the kind of deeper sound that riders appreciate."
Available in a 'natural' or heat resistant black ceramic finish, as well as meeting the 95 dB limit, it is ISO 14021 certified in compliance with a product cycle that meets circular economy parameters.
In addition to the Ténéré 700, at the time of writing, the new system was already available for KTM 790/890 Adventure and Duke models, the Honda Transalp 750, and Kawasaki Versys, Ninja and Z 650 models, with more applications to be added.
