Akrapovic Evolution Exhaust System Ducati 848 EVO 1098/S 2007-2012 The new Ducati superbikes and the Akrapovic System are a fantastic combination of our years of experience at the highest level of motorcycle racing and precise handcrafting. The Akrapovic Evolution system releases the maximum amount of power and torque, and serious riders will be able to maximize the bikes potential on the race track. In addition to performance, the system comes in a full racing look. 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 not homologated for road use. Evolution System is made entirely of exclusive high grade titanium 848 Performance The Akrapovic Evolution open system greatly increases the potential of the big twin cylinder engine.
