Akrapovič expands Ducati range with Multistrada V2 and Panigale V2 slip-ons

Akrapovič launches new titanium Slip-On Line for the Ducati Multistrada V2 and V2 S, giving a claimed weight reduction and increase in power output without the need for additional remapping. 

For the Multistrada, the new system is built around a sandblasted titanium outer sleeve wrapped over a stainless-steel inner, finished with a subtle monochrome logo, and capped off with a handmade carbon-fibre end cap and heatshield. The latter isn’t just for show either – it’s there to stop your pricey riding kit getting toasted.

On the scales, it’s 0.2kg lighter than stock – a modest 5.1 per cent saving – but there’s a small bump in shove to go with it: 0.9bhp and 3.0Nm at 3,000rpm, measured back-to-back against a standard bike on Akrapovič’s own dyno. More importantly, it promises a deeper, richer note from the V-twin without the usual ECU headaches. It’s plug-and-play, EC/ECE approved, and Euro 5+ compliant.

If your tastes lean more toward sports bike or naked, there’s also a twin-can Slip-On Line (Titanium) for the Ducati Panigale V2, Panigale V2 S, Ducati Streetfighter V2 and Streetfighter V2 S. Inspired by Akrapovič’s Grand Prix efforts, it uses race-worn titanium and honeycomb-style end caps for a properly purposeful look.

Here, the weight saving is more dramatic: 1.0kg, or 30.7 per cent lighter than standard. Performance gains are pitched higher up the rev range too, with an extra 1.8bhp at 11,000rpm and 0.8Nm at 7,500rpm. Like the Multistrada system, it’s road legal, needs no remap, and even works when combined with the stock heatshield.
