Akrapovič has added to its lineup of exhausts for Ducati motorcycles with an eye-catching new design for the Ducati Hypermotard 698 Mono / RVE.The Slip-On Line (Titanium) is an all-new exhaust that has been designed from scratch to fit the lines of the Ducati Hypermotard 698 Mono / RVE. It is constructed from high-grade sandblasted titanium for the muffler outer sleeves, stainless-steel link pipes, and carbon-fibre end caps with imprints. This twin muffler configuration ‒ one exiting on either side of the seat ‒ creates a unique look, which is further enhanced with the inclusion of honeycomb noise inserts within the end caps, as seen on many Akrapovič-supported racing motorcycles, including Grand Prix machinery.
State-of-the-art research and design by the Akrapovič engineers throughout the development process has led to an exhaust that is focused on throttle response and rideability for the Ducati Hypermotard 698 Mono / RVE while also providing performance enhancements for the discerning rider. The Slip-On Line (Titanium) has been tested on the Akrapovič dyno against the same motorcycle equipped with a standard stock exhaust system, and it provided power and torque increases of 2.9 kW (3.9 hp) at 10,000 rpm and 1.9 Nm at 6,800 rpm, respectively.
The use of race-proven materials gives the Slip-On Line (Titanium) a weight saving of 0.2 kg (4.3%) in comparison to the standard stock exhaust system, and the sound engineering process serves up a deep and rich tone, perfectly balanced and in keeping with the Ducati’s single-cylinder engine. The exhaust is fully EC/ECE type approved and Euro5+ compliant, and the simple plug-and-play installation means no remapping is needed ‒ just fit it and enjoy!
