PRO GuIDe Euro 4 homologated Scrambler 1200 low mount exhaust Following the success of its high mount slip-on and decat, Italian performance exhaust manufacturer Zard is now offering a low mounted full kit for Triumph's popular 1200 cc Scrambler. Many people point to the heat on the legs as one of the primary design problems with this model, and this low mount kit provides a solution. A 2-into-1 stainless steel exhaust with removable dB killer and carbon end cap, it weighs in at 5.2 kg compared to 10.2 kg for the OEM design. The lighter weight translates into a "significant increase in horsepower and torque at all rpm ranges and an astonishing sound," says Zard. The exhaust ships with an aluminium side panel and leather case and is available with an additional option of a black coated version with high temperature resistance. Racing and Euro 4 homologated versions are available. ZARD S.R.L.

Over 20 years later, LighTech is one of Europe's leading motorcycle and scooter parts and accessory manufacturers, producing innovative, high level parts and component designs for race and street use. LighTech's technology and experience is seen in the special components it produces for teams who race in the most important world competitions - for example, for some of them LighTech is the exclusive supplier for lightweight, high performance bolts and special parts. "Years of technical sponsorship, the use of cutting-edge design and production methods and a passion for motorcycle racing are the reasons why you will find quality and innovation in every LighTech product," says Export Manager Sheila Zaccaron. "Over the years, LighTech has developed several product lines for race and street applications, but this year has gone back to its racing heritage with new designs of chain adjuster and cable style clutch lever. Exclusively for racing use, the new 2017- 2020 Yamaha R6 chain adjuster design features brake caliper support to improve those critical tyre change times. By keeping the brake caliper, preventing it from slipping out of its seat, the design prevents precious moments from being wasted - "change fast, race fast". The company's new cable clutch lever with variable wheelbase was born in the challenging environments of the track and allows the drive wheelbase to be varied from 30/32/34 mm. "This means the driver can manage the clutch release to perfect the starts and customise the lever stroke. The closing system of the joint is even faster thanks to the closing strap with hinge system - change well, race well"! LIGHTECH S.R.L. S.
