UPSHIFT BRAND INNOVATIONS

PURE POWER & SWEET SOUNDS

Akrapovic is well known for its superior materials, manufacturing and ability to coax more power and torque from even the worlds' fastest motorcycles. What is not quite so well-known is the immense skill and effort the company dedicates to ensuring every motorcycle exhaust system that leaves their factory, also emits their signature 3D modeled Akrapovic sound, designed to give each make and model of engine its true voice.

Compare the two slip-on sound files below to hear the sound of a Yamaha R1 sweet music & Pure Power.
