Akrapovic has loads of expertise with titanium and carbon fibre, after all: it’s been making candy, candy race pipes out of these supplies for many years. And now it’s turned that have to a brand new product: titanium crash bars, with carbon fibre affect sliders, designed to suit the brand new BMW R1300 GS/Journey.
The bars are TIG-welded from sandblasted 25mm titanium tubing for super-lightweight (2.8kg, 40 per cent the load of metal, with the identical energy) and nice corrosion resistance. The carbon-fibre safety pads are 2.5mm thick to present additional structural energy and are simply swapped after a crash. Akrapovic says the bars don’t scale back the lean angle, and matches to engine and chassis by way of inventory mounting factors and machined 10mm becoming flanges.
RRP: £1399
