Zard - " Going BIG for 2021 "
Everyone has heard the famous expression " Go Big or Go Home ", right ? Well , for MY 2021 , Italian exhaust manufacturer Zard really is " Going Big "! BIG weight savings , BIG hp gains , BIG torque gains and a BIG opportunity for Zard ' s dealers with no less than SIX new exhaust designs available immediately for SIX of the BIGGEST selling 2021 new models on the market - backed by a BIG choice of options . The Zard name is closely associated with Triumph and is well known to the ' Brit Bike ' riding family , so it has gone BIG with three 2020 / 2021 models getting Zard options - the Tiger 900 , the Rocket III and the Street Triple . In addition to its existing designs , such as for the Panigale V4 , there are new options for two of the 2020 / 2021 Ducati models -

the 1260 cc Ducati Diavel and the Streetfighter V4 . Finally , Zard has added to its long-standing reputation as a ' go-to ' for Kawasaki models with choices of slip-on and full-system options for the allconquering Z900 . There are homologated Euro 5 compliant and racing versions available - the racing versions do not need ECU modifications in order to benefit from the weight savings and horsepower and torque gains . Zard is offering either high-grade stainless steel or titanium options as slip-ons or full systems , or both ( as appropriate ), with carbon end caps , carbon heat shields / covers and removable dB killers mostly offered as standard . For the 2020 / 2021 Tiger 900 , Zard has a modelspecific slip-on with the entry level ( standard version ) in racing stainless steel with removable db killer and carbon end cap and mounting support band . The Euro 5 compliant versions have either a high-temperature resistant black finish or titanium sleeve . The exhaust mounts with the side bags and the original centre stand . For the 2020 / 2021 Triumph Rocket III , Zard has come up with a completely new shape for what is the largest displacement production motorcycle in the world - a triple outlet end cap for Triumph ' s massive triple ! This slip-on will be available in stainless steel with carbon fibre end cap and left and right covers ( standard and racing versions ) and delivers a + 2.5 hp increase from the Euro version . Options include a billet aluminium end cap , a hightemperature resistant black finish and carbon sleeves . Zard says that the design results in improved gas flow
