Top Slovenian exhaust maker Akrapovi? has signed up with the GasGas factory trials team for 2023, and will supply and develop race pipes for the team in the FIM X-Trial World Championship and FIM TrialGP World Championships.
It’ s the first time Akrapovi? has been involved in trials competition, and its new high-tech titanium headers will equip Jaime Busto and Sondre Haga’s GasGas TXT GP 300 machines. The parts are claimed to deliver impressive performance gains, together with a 40% weight saving over the previous version.
Albert Cabestany, GasGas factory racing manager said, “Everyone in the team is thrilled to have Akrapovi? as an official partner for 2023. Akrapovi? is known all over the world for the quality and high performance of its products, but to have them enter trials for the first time with GasGas is super exciting for us. Like all motorsports, any opportunity to make performance improvements and save weight is so, so important. Both Jaime and Sondre have spent many weeks riding with and testing our new exhausts and they’re really happy.”
