Akrapovic is known worldwide for top notch exhaust components. The long awaited DesertX slip-on is finally here. Producing that incredible note that you would expect from your Ducati as well as increases in peak horsepower and torque and dropping weight.
The muffler outer sleeve is made from high-grade titanium, with a stainless-steel link pipe and muffler inner structure. Finished with a carbon-fibre end cap and heatshield, this exhaust reduces weight by 33.4% (1.1 kg). The new design offers great durability and personalization for the motorcycle. With a heatshield that has been totally designed from scratch, the package provides passenger and gear protection, while delivering a unique appearance. Power gains of 1.8 kW (2.4 hp) at 9,400 rpm and torque increases of 1.8 Nm at 8,100 rpm – when compared to a Ducati DesertX equipped with the standard stock system and tested on the Akrapovič in-house dyno – combine with a perfect throttle response. A deep, vivid, and sporty sound is emitted from the exhaust, which has an EC/ECE type-approval certificate and is a simple plug and play installation with no remapping needed.
A further upgrade can be obtained with the addition of the optional link pipe, designed for increased performance and a sportier sound experience.
Installation of the optional link pipe (SS) makes EC/ECE type approval of the Slip-On Line (Titanium) invalid. Email us with any questions: info@upshiftonline.com
