The recently-launched BMW R1300 GS is already topping the sales charts, so it’s no surprise to see the exhaust experts at Akrapovič have developed a new slip-on silencer that provides a bit more power, a touch more torque and a reduction in weight. Made from titanium, with a new special profile used for increased strength, and a carbon fibre cap, the new end-can is the result of years of experience developing exhausts for GS models since the 1999 version. It weighs in 9.3% lighter than the OE item and claims to give the motor an extra 1.9hp and 4.5Nm of torque for more get-up-and-go. It’s a simple swap for the original item, with no remapping required, and BMW side cases can still be fitted. SRP is £999 for titanium finish, £1074 for it in black.
