LV Race
The LeoVince LV Race has been designed to " reduce the overall weight of the bike without altering the original balance designed by the manufacturer . LV Race is the perfect combination of looks , performance and sound ". It is available for a range of selected motorcycles with the standard exhaust located under the engine to optimise weight distribution , without changing the layout of the bike . This will allow riders to maximise performance and add a racing and dark look . Made in AISI 304 stainless steel to optimise durability , it is finished with a special high temperature-resistant matt black ceramic-based paint . The end cap has a stainless steel honeycomb mesh . " The sound expresses the power at low revs , while the stainless steel chamber delivers a true racing resonance , with the honeycomb end cap tuning the
sound to the deepest and darkest notes of the competition-bred LV Race to make the bike sing with the voice of the track ." The centre of gravity and distribution of the bike ' s mass will be the same as those designed by the manufacturer , with the weight reduced by up to 30 % compared to the stock exhaust on some applications . Designed and conceived in Italy , features include handcrafted TIG welds .
