SLIP-ON BOOST
Landing soon : famed pipe-maker Akrapovič has unveiled a new titanium exhaust to its Slip-On Line , this time for Suzuki ’ s all-new V-Strom 800DE . It uses race-proven materials , including a carbon fibre heat shield designed to complement the exhaust and protect the passenger from heat . The designers focused on throttle response , improving power in the mid and high rpm range – with a claimed increase of 1.1kW at 6000rpm and 1.3Nm at 6100rpm compared to the standard system . It ’ s lighter than standard and sounds a lot throatier .
