DescriptionThe whole story▼
Fifteen minutes. That is the shortest installation time of any exhaust part in this catalogue, and it says something about how BMW built the R 12: the silencers hang on the outside with nothing over them, and the whole job is a pair of clamps and two hangers.
Key Features
- Double conical mufflers in black-coated high-grade stainless steel
- Lightweight titanium link pipe — titanium where it saves weight, steel where it takes abuse
- Sandblasted stainless steel heat shield protecting the rider's equipment
- Laser-engraved Akrapovic logo on the muffler rather than a sticker
- 1.1 PS more at 7,500 rpm and 1.4 Nm more at 5,200 rpm
- Fifteen minutes to fit
- EC and ECE type approved
- Weight saving 0.4 kg — small, and stated as such
Neo-Retro Means the Shape Comes First
The R 12 and R 12 nineT are BMW's heritage boxers, sold on how they look standing still as much as on how they ride. Akrapovic states that the design and lines of this system were developed specifically to integrate with the bike, and the double conical shape is the visible result — tapering twice along its length rather than running as a straight tube.
The finish follows the same logic. Black coating over stainless, sandblasted shield, engraved logo instead of a printed one. On a machine bought for its appearance, a sticker would be the wrong ending.
Steel Outside, Titanium Inside
An unusual combination: the mufflers are stainless steel, the link pipe is titanium. That is the reverse of most systems, where titanium is the visible part. Here the reasoning is durability where the eye falls and weight where it does not — a coated stainless muffler keeps its finish on a bike parked outside, while the hidden link pipe gives back some of the mass.
The result is a modest 0.4 kg saving, 10.6 per cent. This is not a lightweight part and the numbers say so plainly.
R 12 and R 12 nineT
BMW splits the model in two: the R 12 is the lower, cruiser-leaning version, the R 12 nineT the roadster with more ground clearance and a sportier stance. The engine, the frame and the exhaust mounting are shared, so one set fits both.
Fitment and Compatibility
S-B12SO25-HISSSBL covers the BMW R 12 and R 12 nineT from model year 2024 through 2026. For the earlier R nineT family up to 2023 the corresponding part is S-B12SO17-HBRBL, which is a different system and needs a link pipe chosen separately.
Road Approval
EC type approval and ECE type approval, with the certificates supplied and downloadable here. The silencers are legal replacement parts for road use in the European Union.
