On a DesertX that is where the bike pulls out of a corner on a gravel road, and on a Monster 937 it is where the engine spends its life in town. This is a mid-range part, and the mid-range is where the Testastretta 937 wants help.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5.6 Nm more at 4,600 rpm and 4.4 PS at 8,600 rpm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1.0 kg against the standard 4.8 kg: 3.8 kg and 79.2 per cent less\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReplaces the stock pre-muffler, where the catalytic converter sits\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMore direct gas flow through high-grade stainless steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCovers three very different motorcycles on one platform\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForty minutes to fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo road approval — circuit use only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThree Bikes, One Engine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDucati's 937 cc Testastretta powers the DesertX adventure bike, the Monster roadster and the Monster SP. Three completely different machines, one exhaust route under the engine, one link pipe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the DesertX that matters more than on the Monsters. A big adventure bike carries its pre-muffler low where it is exposed to rocks, and 3.8 kg out of that position also takes a vulnerable component out of harm's way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere the Weight Was\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAkrapovic describes the part as replacing the stock pre-muffler, which is where Ducati puts the catalytic converter. That single box accounts for 4.8 kg — nearly four of which are simply gone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRemoving it is also what produces the more direct gas flow the power figures come from, and what ends the type approval.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eStainless, Not Titanium\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis pipe is high-grade stainless steel rather than titanium, which on a DesertX is the sensible material. It sits low, it gets hit by stones, and steel takes that better. The 79.2 per cent saving shows the weight was in the pre-muffler's construction rather than in the material of the pipe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe DesertX Case\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDucati's DesertX is a 223 kg adventure bike with a 21 inch front wheel, and it is ridden off tarmac by people who bought it for that. Taking 3.8 kg out of the lowest, most exposed part of the exhaust is worth more there than the power figures suggest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is also one fewer thing to damage. A stock pre-muffler hanging under the engine is a large aluminium and steel box in the firing line of every rock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eForty Minutes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDucati routes the 937's mid-section along the right side under the engine, and it comes out with the bash plate removed. Forty minutes covers it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFitment and Compatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eL-D9SO1 covers the Ducati DesertX from 2022, and the Monster 937 and Monster 937 SP from 2021, through 2024.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eRoad Approval\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNone.
