The partnership between Triumph and Akrapovič will be further strengthened this year, with the Slovenian exhaust manufacturer supplying Triumph Racing’s global off-road racing program with its exhaust systems.
The Akrapovič exhausts Triumph Racing will use are constructed from lightweight, high-grade titanium alloys and will ensure optimum performance and reliability with the lowest possible weight. Complying with FIM and AMA sound limits, the silencer is finished with a profiled surface for additional strength and durability.
The partnership will also allow Akrapovič to manufacture exhaust systems for the new Triumph TF 250-X motocross bike. In 2023, all the winning machines in MXGP and MX2 Motocross World Championships were equipped with Akrapovič exhaust systems.
“When it comes to exhausts, Akrapovič was the obvious choice. Working with them as a development partner for our off-road racing programme ensures we can extract the best performance from our race engines. Akrapovič’s history in motorsport, together with their incredible knowledge and commitment to developing and building high-performance exhaust systems, is industry leading. With the belief that Akrapovič has shown in our racing programme, we are excited and looking forward to our debut season in 2024,” said Ian Kimber, head of off-road programmes at Triumph Motorcycles.
Akrapovič has also adapted its extensive know-how and state-of-the-art technology to produce a high-performance exhaust system for the Ducati Desmo450 MX prototype. This bespoke exhaust has been developed to optimise the character of Ducati’s unique powerplant while complying with FIM regulations.
