The Ducati 1098R and the Akrapovic Evolution exhaust system are a fantastic combination of our years of experience at the highest level of motorcycle racing and precise handcrafting. The Akrapovic Evolution open system releases the maximum amount of power and torque, and serious riders will be able to maximize the bike’s potential on the race track. In addition to performance, the Evolution system comes in a full titanium configuration, showing a clean racing look. Of course there is also a much more powerful sound coming out of the two underseat mufflers. You will also save 3.79 kg compared to the stock Ducati exhaust system. The system is for race and track days only and is not homologated for road use.
