RACING & EVOLUTION EXHAUST SYSTEM for YAMAHA YZF-R1 (2007 - 2008)

The new R1 and the Akrapovic Racing/Evolution system is a combination, which promises extraordinary performance. The engine, with the aid of the Racing/Evolution system releases most power and torque and we believe that the experienced and racing oriented drivers will take great pleasure in taking advantage of the offered invigoration. Beside performance, the change will be also visual as the two "Akrapovics" fit the exterior line of the sharp Yamaha and add a clean racing image.

We would like to emphasise that for the above motorcycle a special set of Akrapovic carbon components is also available.

Performance

The fitting of the Akrapovic Racing or Evolution system greatly influences the capabilities of the engine. Both power and torque gain in terms of value over the entire rpm area, this increment is most felt from middle rpm onwards. Evolution/Racing system also fills the smaller decrease of torque of the serial exhaust between 6200 and 7400 rpm. Besides this, the torque is substantially higher in a lower rpm area and from middle to high rpm area. On the back wheel we measured an incredible 170 hp at 12500 rpm, while the largest difference of 10.4 HP between the serial and Akrapovic exhaust manifests itself at 6770 rpm. You will also save 3.2 kg (Racing) or 4.94 kg (Evolution) compared to stock R1 exhaust system. System is not homologated for road use.
