Titanium‘ Racing Line’ for TMAX
Akrapovic has extended its titanium‘ Racing Line’ to include a new system for the Yamaha TMAX. Described as developed from a concept first shown at EICMA in 2015, this EC / ECE type approved Euro 4 compliant system is described as a lightweight, high-grade titanium muffler outer sleeve and stainless steel header,“ with an imprinted design relief that blends in with the handmade carbon fibre end cap, giving a visual impact that is the ideal finishing touch to this stylish system”. The use of race-proven materials has“ produced an exhaust system that weighs 42 % less than the stock version, delivering
a power increase throughout the entire rpm range, but most importantly at the lower end of the revs”. It is a simple plug-and-play installation with no remapping necessary, according to the company.
