AKRAPOVIC ZX-6R RACE FULL SYSTEM

Akrapovic EVO

I’d consider buying this for its sheer beauty – and I’m not even running a ZX-6R this year.
This new Akro system is simply stunning. And it’s not all show either, as the pipes promise plenty of go too – up to 7bhp if the fi gures are to be believed. Factor in weight savings (the stock system is 11.55kg, the system with stainless headers is 6.28kg and the full titanium system is an amazing 4.71kg) and you’ve got every reason to splash out. The headers use smart hydroforming technology while the muffler is titanium topped off with a fancy carbon fi bre end cap. As used by the Kawasaki supersport team in the US, it’ll go straight onto Handley’s ZX-6R as soon as it comes back from Kawasaki after Neil sent it back to base for a refill of fuel and a wipe down. This version has steel headers, but go full titanium with the ‘Evo’ system – if you can afford the price: ~ $3000. I think I'll pass for now...
