The development of exhaust lines is very important on competition machines: few elements have as big an impact on the design of a motorcycle and its engine as the exhaust system. From the junction of the cylinder head to the throttle outlet, the gently curved shapes help define the character of our motorcycles and their engines, and the shapes are far from purely aesthetic. However, equipment manufacturers also think about everyone's machines, by offering a range of adaptable exhausts in order to modify the sound, the look, but also the response of the engine. The Slovenian brand Akrapovič looks back on the development of an exhaust line in video.
Akrapovič is a manufacturer of premium exhaust systems for high performance motorcycles and cars. The Akrapovič brand was created in 1991 in Slovenia by Igor Akrapovič. He concentrated his experience acquired in motorcycle racing between 1970 and 1991 to design exhausts in order to obtain a gain in power and the sound that we know.
The company is recognized worldwide for its high-tech innovations that leverage cutting-edge technology and high-quality materials in the design of exhaust systems. Akrapovič exhaust systems stand out for their increased performance, unique sound, innovative design, lightweight construction, quality finish and durability.
The exhaust pipe designer's job is to create a wide enough engine torque zone that the rider, using the gearbox, can keep the engine in that zone most of the time.
Every component of an Akrapovič exhaust is carefully designed and constructed by a highly skilled multidisciplinary team of industrial designers, engineers and architects. They face challenges every day by combining a technical solution with an attractive, modern and cutting-edge design and taking it to the next level.
Akrapovič exhaust systems are developed by the same team of engineers who work in partnership with championship-winning teams in MotoGP, WSBK and other categories. All products are tested in the company's laboratories with its own state-of-the-art dynamometers. The Slovenian brand shares with us in video the development of a line for a Honda CBR1000RR-R Fireblade, from CAD to tests on the dyno, for the pleasure of the eyes and ears!
