Constructed using a high-grade sandblasted and lightweight titanium muffler outer sleeve with a black-coated stainless-steel end cap, combined with a stainless-steel link pipe and pre-muffler, this system is finished with a stylish Akrapovic monochrome sticker on the muffler. Replacing the exhaust system has a strong impact on the overall appearance of the motorcycle, as well as on its weight and performance. It weighs in at 1.7 kg lighter (a weight saving of 29.2%) compared to the standard stock system, producing an increase in power of 1.1 kW (1.5 hp) at 5,300 rpm and a torque rise of +1.9 Nm at 5,300 rpm when tested on the Akrapovic in-house dyno against a Z650RS with a standard stock exhaust. Providing an impeccable throttle response allied to a deep Akrapovic sound, this plug-and-play installation system requires no remapping to the ECU and meets Euro 5 standards.
When fitting the Slip-On Line (Titanium), the existing stock exhaust system requires cutting, and so the easy-to-follow instruction manual must be consulted thoroughly before and during installation.
