Based on its direct experience of racing in the Moto2 and Moto3 World Championships , LeoVince has developed a new line of exhaust systems for the Kawasaki Z 900 - its new LV-10 Carbon Fiber exhaust , which completes the LV-10 range . " The new LV-10 Carbon Fiber maintains the compact and lightweight design that
characterises the LV-10 range ," says Brand Manager and Racing Team Coordinator Roberta Astori . " The pre-preg , double-layer carbon sleeve and the CNC ' Full-Carbon ' bracket enhance
its lightness and aesthetic intensity , ensuring the best performance . The stainless steel end cap with sandblasted finish , combined with the rear stainless steel mesh , gives the silencer a convincing raceready look , boosted by the unmistakable LeoVince sound . " Uniquely in the LV-10 range , the matt finish , the TIG welded LV-10 Carbon Fiber is enhanced with an aluminium plate , embossed with the LV logo , previously used by LeoVince exclusively in racing , reflecting the strong bond between the LV-10 Carbon Fiber and the racetrack .
