MV Agusta pays great attention to the styling of its own motorcycles, so a partnership has now been concluded with the Slovenian exhaust manufacturer Akrapovic, who is to design exclusive exhausts for the Italian motorcycles.
The collaboration is also described as “motorcycle art”, because how a motorcycle sounds can be just as, or even more exciting, than the pure look.
“Sound is part of the MV Agusta experience. It’s a key element to its style and we pay a lot of attention to it. Our 3- and 4-cylinder models have quite unique personalities and we’ve always worked towards matching them with hair-raising sound” said Timur Sardarov, MV Agusta CEO “but this partnership goes well beyond the look and sound. It is really about leading-edge technology, performance and uncompromising quality.”
It will be interesting to see what Akrapovic will do. Fine materials such as titanium and carbon fiber will surely find their way into the exhaust systems. Since 2009 they have had their own titanium foundry with which they were able to expand their options even further.
“Akrapovič is extremely excited about this latest chapter in its motorcycle history” said Uroš Rosa, Akrapovič CEO. “To enter into a new partnership with one of the most iconic brands in the industry and one that shares a similar ethos and DNA to our own is another big step for our company. Count Domenico Agusta and Igor Akrapovič both came from a racing background and created winning global brands through their passion, making this collaboration a natural fit.”
