This time it is our colleagues from Moto.it that we owe these photos of the Honda rear exhaust tested in Catalunya by Marc Marquez and Dani Pedrosa.
The famous and magnificent loop has been removed and, according to the Italian journalist, the tube diameters are larger and the sound is fuller.
In theory, making an exhaust more direct, as is the case here, makes the engine a tiny bit powerful, and a tiny bit less torquey.
Along with the electronics and the injection, this is almost the only element that Honda can play with, the engines themselves being sealed.
