Akrapovič’s unstinting desire to keep its position ahead of the competition is further demonstrated at the stand with its latest high-tech machine, the real durability dyno robot. Visitors have already had a chance to witness this robot first-hand and see how an Akrapovič exhaust is subjected to intense durability tests to make sure the company delivers the best products available to its customers.
