[motorcycle.com] - Akrapovi? Racing Line Full Exhaust System for 2021 Yamaha MT-09

[Ninjette Newsbot]

Akrapovi? had been offering full exhaust systems for the MT-09 since 2016, but the bike’s recent upgrade to a 890cc engine called for a new product. Enter the new Akrapovi? Racing Line full exhaust system, an upgrade that claims increased engine performance and a pure racing sound.



The Racing Line system includes a stainless steel header, catalytic converter, pre-muffler and a side-mounted silencer with a high-grade titanium outer sleeve. According to Akrapovi?, the titanium exhaust claims a 2.0 hp increase in peak power and 1.0 lb-ft. increase in maximum torque compared to the stock exhaust. The performance difference is most notable at the high end of the rev range, but there’s also an improvement in torque at around the 5000-7000 rpm range.



Akrapovi? also produces a carbon fiber version that claims a gain of 4.0 hp and 1.3 lb-ft. while weighing 5.3 pounds less than the stock exhaust, but it does not meet emission compliance for street or highway use.



Like all Akrapovi? products, the Racing Line MT-09 system was crafted by a multidisciplinary team of engineers and industrial designers, resulting in the signature conical hexagonal muffler design. Akrapovi? also uses a motorcycle durability dyno that uses a robot to put each product through the exact same duty cycle and accumulated mileage tests.
