KTM 790 slip-ons -
“power you can hear”
Italian performance exhaust specialist SC-Project has
a new model-specific line for the KTM 790 Duke that
is said to make the most of the bike’s “incredible mix
between the lightness of its frame and the hard-
hitting punch of the LC8c parallel twin motor - a real
weapon in the corners”.
Developed in-house by the race-proven SC-Project
R&D Department, it is a complete line of slip-ons that
runs from Euro 4 approved street mufflers to racing
cans, replacing the stainless steel original muffler.
Designed for “real riders who demand lightness,
performance and the full-bodied sound and racing
look that every rider desires”, the easy to install high-
tech, high-quality materials slip-on line is said to
deliver “more power, more torque and less weight -
with no remapping required”.
The “innovative” TIG welded SC1-R, a “benchmark
for the Superbike World Championship”, is available
in titanium or carbon fibre body versions. “The
asymmetric and clean shape, together with the matt
carbon fibre end cap, recalls the sporting spirit of the
SC1-R, confirming it as the ideal muffler for the latest
sports bikes. Sound-absorbing material withstands
the very high temperatures and racing exhaust gas
pressures, and the titanium insert bushings are CNC-
machined from solid to guarantee the seals”.
A weight saving of approximately 1.1 kg means
increased power and torque; the muffler is Euro 4
approved.
For race use only, the TIG welded S1 and S1-GP
mufflers are available in titanium with a matt carbon
fibre end cap (S1). “They fuse a racing style with top-
end technical solutions such as TIG welded bracket
and fitting and one-piece CNC-machined titanium
insert bushings”.
The tapered body, “together with the diameter of the
output and the top-grade internal soundproofing
gives the bike a dark and unmistakable sound; a
weight reduction of 1.9 kg (S1) and 2.2 kg (S1-GP)
means increased performance, making the KTM a
real ‘Ready to Race’ weapon”.
