The Honda CB1000 Hornet already had presence — now it has the voice to match. SC-Challenge has unveiled the SC1-R GT, a slip-on exhaust constructed particularly for this liter-class bare bike, and the result’s pure auditory and mechanical bliss.
With a 999cc inline-four derived from the earlier CBR1000RR Fireblade producing 147 hp, the inspiration was robust. However the SC1-R GT provides an additional 1.5 hp at 6,500 rpm, extra torque at 8,000 rpm, and cuts 2.3 kg off the inventory weight. Which may not appear dramatic on paper, however you’ll really feel (and listen to) the distinction immediately.
Comprised of carbon fiber with an uneven outlet and built-in warmth shields, this exhaust isn’t simply trendy — it’s robust, light-weight, and totally Euro 5+ compliant. Which means no slicing, no tuning — simply bolt on and trip.
Developed in collaboration with Honda Montesa Europe, the SC1-R GT suits seamlessly and performs flawlessly. It’s the form of improve that elevates every thing — energy, model, and soul — with out sacrificing reliability.
Presently unique to Europe, it doubtless received’t be lengthy earlier than this stellar combo makes waves in different markets the place the Hornet is accessible.
