Slip-On Line, Racing Line or Evolution Line?
The Slip-On Line replaces only the end silencer: less weight, a sportier sound and easy to fit yourself. The Racing Line is a full exhaust system including headers, for noticeable power gains across the rev range. The Evolution Line is the top model from racing, largely made of titanium and as light as possible. Separate headers and mid-pipes let you extend a Slip-On towards a full system later. Akrapovic is an established name in motorsport, from road racing to motocross and enduro.
Titanium, carbon and stainless steel
Akrapovic makes many of its titanium and carbon parts in-house. Titanium silencers save weight compared to the original silencer, while carbon end caps and heat shields complete the look. The stainless steel versions are the entry level with the same build quality. With headers you often choose between stainless steel and titanium: titanium is lighter, stainless steel is robust and hard-wearing.
Replacement parts and accessories
If a heat shield or end cap is damaged, you do not have to replace the whole silencer. There are Akrapovic replacement parts such as heat shields and muffler end caps, for example for the Yamaha R7, Yamaha Ténéré 700 and BMW adventure models. You will also find accessories such as titanium adventure footpegs, carbon parts and genuine Akrapovic stickers in various sizes.
Approval and fitment
If you ride on public roads, choose a type-approved version, recognisable by the E mark. Race versions without approval are intended for track and off-road use. Akrapovic parts are developed per model and model year, from the Yamaha MT-07 and Honda CB 1000 Hornet to BMW adventure models. Select your bike in the motorcycle selector at the top of the page and compare the article number with your current part or Akrapovic data.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between Slip-On Line, Racing Line and Evolution Line?
The Slip-On Line replaces only the end silencer. The Racing Line is a full system including headers for more power across the rev range. The Evolution Line is the lightest top model, largely made of titanium. Separate headers and mid-pipes make upgrading step by step possible.
Can I ride on public roads with an Akrapovic exhaust?
Yes, if you choose a type-approved version, recognisable by the E mark. Race versions without approval are intended for track and off-road use. Check the product description to see which version you are viewing and which rules apply where you ride.
Can I replace a damaged heat shield or end cap separately?
Yes. Akrapovic offers replacement parts such as heat shields and end caps per model, for example for the Yamaha Ténéré 700 and R7. That way you do not need to replace the whole silencer after damage. Select your bike and compare the article number.
Titanium or stainless steel: which should I choose?
Titanium is lighter and takes on a nice heat colour, ideal if you want to save weight. Stainless steel is robust and the entry level, with the same build quality and fitment. For the same version, the difference is mainly weight and looks, not fitting.
