Akrapovic Unveils New Slip-On For Suzuki’s Latest V-Strom 800DE – RM4.6k

Suzuki Malaysia officially launched the 2023 Suzuki V-Strom 800DE middleweight adventure bike for the Malaysian market held at Soul’ed Out, Kuala Lumpur on Sunday. 

The V-Strom 800DE joins the likes of BMW F 850 GS and KTM 890 Adventure in Malaysia with the introductory price of RM60,800 for the first 50 bookings. 

As usual, one of the first thing that we tend to change on a new bike is getting a new exhaust system. If you’re planning to get your hands on the new parallel-twin powered V-Strom 800DE, you are in luck as Akrapovic has just released a new slip-on for the adventure motorcycle. 

Ideally, Akrapovic new slip-on not only creates better exhaust note but also improves extra performance from the engine. According to Akrapovic, the new slip-on exhaust completely homologated to ECE and meets the latest Euro 5 standards. 

Also, the slip-on exhaust increased the power delivery up to one horsepower and one newton-meter of torque.

The slip-on exhaust is made entirely from titanium and carbon fiber, like majority of the brand’s exhaust system. The system is also easy to install thanks to its slip-on nature. 

As for pricing, the new slip-on system is said to be around the USD1,000 (RM4.6k) mark. Perhaps it’s best for you to start saving now! 

Akrapovic Now Makes Rear Silencers For The BMW R 18

  • Akrapovic introduced new rear silenceers for the BMW R 18.
  • Features lighter component and is tuned to the R 18 1,802cc engine. 

The Akrapovic rear silencers is 97mm shorter than the standard rear silencers and is made from durable stainless steel, coated in matt black finish.

Together with a silver end cap adjustable in 90-degree steps, the rear of the R 18 now appears sportier than ever.

Interestingly, Akrapovic also designed the end cap with a stylised BMW brand symbol – the propeller – making it extra appealing for the R 18.

The exhaust also features screwed-in heat protection plate to help the rider’s footwear from the exhaust heat.

It’s also important to know that the Akrapovic rear silencers is 1 kilogram lighter than the stock exhaust and have been optimally tuned to the R 18 “Big Boxer” engine to create a powerful sound. 

According to BMW Motorrad, the new rear silencers also compliments well to the BMW Motorrad Bobber Kit. 

Aprilia And SC-Project Extends Partnership

SC-Project will continue to supply exhaust for the Aprilia MotoGP team until 2024 after agreeing on a two-year extension.

  • SC-Project supplied Aprilia’s RS-GP exhaust system since 2021.
  • The Italian company becomes Aprilia’s Official Technical Partner. 

Aprilia and SC-Project partnership began in 2021 with the Italian manufacturer developing the exhausts for Aprilia’s RS-GP machine.

Since then, Aprilia took its first MotoGP podium in 2021 before claiming the maiden MotoGP race win in 2022 and is currently fighting for the World Championship with Aleix Espargaro.

That said, SC-Project has become an integral part of Aprilia’s climb to world championship glory.

“A solid and ambitious project like ours needs partners who share our same values.

“The one with SC-Project is a natural bond: two great Italian companies, technological leaders in their segments, with a sporty and innovative DNA.

“This is why we are proud to announce the continuation of our relationship, a path of common growth that, I have no doubt, will lead Made in Italy to excel on tracks all over the world,” said Aprilia Racing CEO Massimo Rivola.

Also, the two-year extension will now see SC-Project become the Official Technical Partner of Aprilia MotoGP. The SC-Project exhaust will be found in Aprilia’s production race bike department, including the RS660 Trofeo and the RS250 SP.

Meanwhile, Aprilia Racing Technical Director Romano Albesiano is relishing the extended partnership.

“The exhaust system is a key element of our new V4 engine, which is proving to be one of the most competitive in MotoGP.

This is also thanks to the technical synergy with SC-Project, a dynamic and competent company with whom we have established a profitable relationship. In a championship where it is the details that make the real difference, it is essential to be able to count on a supplier that has the technology and expertise to contribute to the development of our RS-GP project,” he said.

Backfiring Motorcycle Caused Panic, Thought as Gunshots

  • A backfiring motorcycle caused mass panic in New York City.

  • The popping sounds were mistaken for gunshots.

  • The crowd stampeded, causing 22 injuries.

With a nation on edge after three mass shootings in the space of one week, a backfiring motorcycle causes mass panic in New York City, United States of America.

The panic also interrupted and ended the Broadway play “To Kill a Mockingbird” in the Schubert Theatre. The crowd had attempted to flee the play, resulting in a stampede which injured 22 people.

New York Police Department said a group of motorcycles were passing by when one of them backfired. New York Mayor Bill de Blasio also issued a statement via his Twitter account that, “Times Square is safe and secure. The noises heard earlier were motorcycles backfiring, not gunshots.”

One person said, “We just hear ‘pop’, ‘pop’, ‘pop’, and thought that somebody just came in and started shooting people.”

Another said, “It’s a shame the climate of America is like this.”

The mass shootings have occurred at public events. The last three shootings at the Gilroy Garlic Festival, Arianna Grande’s Manchester concert and Route 91 Harvest Festival left 58 dead and another 489 wounded. Punk band Blink-182 was forced to cancel their concert in El Paso after a gunman opened fire in a Walmart Supercentre, killing 20 over the weekend.

We like motorcycle boots that don't look like motorcycle boots. That just adds versatility to them and allows you to use them for purposes other than just riding. That's the first thing we like about the Eleveit Nirvana WP boots, but there are things we don't quite like either. Watch the video to find out! #Eleveit #EleveitBoots #MotorcycleReview

Oh the blasphemy! We called the Trident 660 a beginner's superbike, but we standby it wholeheartedly. The Trident is fast and a lot of fun, but it is also very accessible for anyone with just a little bit of experience. And there's not much to worry about either, it is not overly complicated and neither is it very big and heavy. Are u a newbie looking to trade up to a bigger bike? The Triumph Trident 660 may just be worth a look. #TriumphMotorcycles #TriumphTrident #TriumphTrident660
