In the standard shock absorbers of the most athletic Suzuki broad consensus exists hardly an owner like the bulky bags. MOTORCYCLE has tried 13 alternatives.


Admittedly, tastes are different, yet so different now and then, not as that is not the vast majority of motorcyclists on the voluminous GSX-R muffler a thorn in the eye. Thus, an ideal field for the aftermarket, offering plenty of alternatives. Suzuki sells itself with the Yoshimura GP Evo II a visual treat. More survey participants come from Akrapovic, Arrow, Bos, Gianelli, GPR, KR Tuned, Laser, Leo Vince, Micron, Mivv, Shark and Termignoni.

The evaluation criteria include workmanship, fit / assembly, weight, peak power and power delivery. Then first all the participants had on the motorcycle test bench flex their muscles. Lo and behold, up on the Micron-pots, with the Suzuki expresses three PS less on the role that market damper located at least, standard level, or look like in the case of Akrapovic, Bos, Gianelli and Termignoni even have up to three additional PS. A good result, you think of the performance degradation in recent tests with other motorcycle models.

But not only the excellence characterizes good aftermarket muffler, the power delivery and torque characteristics play an important role. And agreed to offer some candidates the series significantly. Especially Bos manages to smooth out a few dips in the torque curve and, for example in the range of about ten Nm 3000 rpm more to provide.
