Jekill & Hyde - Nomad S for BMW R 1300 GS
Now available for pre-order, Dutch exhaust manufacturer Dr. Jekill & Mr. Hyde has developed the Nomad S, an electronically adjustable exhaust system designed specifically for the BMW R 1300 GS.
Described as a "seamless integration of form and function, the lightweight and agile Nomad S features a sleek design and is available in black or pearl grey, with gloss carbon end caps and an aluminium core. The meticulous design includes an indentation in the exhaust body that aligns perfectly with the fuel tank, ensuring a harmonious visual flow".
The J&H hallmark is sound management, allowing the Nomad S to be tuned 'on the fly' for the riding regulations in various riding conditions. The adjustable exhaust system allows riders to switch between different sound modes - the 'Dr. Jekill' mode for "silent, whispering sound, perfect for enjoying the scenery or in urban areas"; the 'Dynamic' mode "for a more pronounced sound, ideal for long-distance touring; and the 'Mr. Hyde' mode "for a deep rumble, perfect for off-road or rural adventures".
In other words, the software and handlebar-mounted switch allow riders to change from very quiet, to louder to loudest as they ride through different areas while still remaining in compliance with R41.05 regulations.
"The innovative technology, including the active Smartbox and fast-responding valve, guarantees an enriched sound experience while future-proofing the system. It is compliant with the latest Euro norms and backed by a four-year warranty".
