That is what comes off a Multistrada when this header replaces the standard one, and it is the sort of figure that usually turns out to be a misprint. It is not: Ducati's original header assembly carries the catalytic converter and its shielding, and this one carries neither.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1.5 kg against a standard 7.4 — close to four fifths of the weight gone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTitanium throughout, with cast components from Akrapovic's own foundry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e150 PS with the matching slip-on, against 145.5 standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeak torque of 124.45 Nm, and the largest measured gain sits at 3,250 rpm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRequires the Akrapovic Slip-On Line to work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNinety minutes of workshop time\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClosed course competition use only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThis Is Half a System\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn optional header is not a stand-alone product. Akrapovic designed it to sit between the engine and the Slip-On Line, and without that muffler there is nothing for it to connect to. S-D12SO9-HAPT is the matching part, and buying this one alone will leave a Multistrada undrivable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat is stated first because the price does not make it obvious. Together the two come to a considerable sum, and anyone budgeting from this page alone will be short.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere Six Kilograms Hides\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Euro 4 Multistrada carries its catalytic converter in a box under the engine, wrapped in heat shielding and hung on brackets. All of that is header assembly as far as the scales are concerned. Take the converter out and replace formed steel with titanium tubing, and the 7.4 kg becomes 1.5.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn a 235 kg motorcycle that is not a transformative change in mass. It is, however, five point nine kilograms taken from the lowest point of the bike, which is where it does the most for how the machine changes direction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Torque Figure Needs Reading Carefully\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAkrapovic records peak torque rising from 121 Nm to 124.45 — an increase of three and a half. It separately records a gain of 13.3 Nm at 3,250 rpm. Both are true and they describe different things: the peak moves a little, while the middle of the range gains a great deal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThirteen newton metres at three thousand revs is what a rider actually feels on a Multistrada, because that is the part of the tacho a big tourer lives in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMeasured on the 1260\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAkrapovic took its figures from a 2018 Multistrada 1260. The 1200 shares the exhaust route and the part fits it, but the numbers on this page belong to the later, larger engine. A 2015 Multistrada 1200 will not reproduce them exactly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eLouder, and Measurably So\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStatic noise rises from 99.5 dB to 106 at 4,750 rpm. Six and a half decibels is a substantial jump — roughly a doubling of perceived loudness — and it comes from removing the catalytic converter, which does as much for noise as it does for emissions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCircuits with a static test at 105 dB will turn this combination away. Check the limit before the entry fee.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThree Model Names\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe part covers the Multistrada 1200, the 1200 S and the 1260 from 2015 to 2020. Ducati changed the engine capacity in 2018 and the name with it, but not the way the exhaust leaves the cylinder heads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eRoad Approval\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNone. This product does not meet emission compliance requirements for street or highway use. Fitting it removes the catalytic converter, and no type approval survives that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart number: E-D12E6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEAN: 3831113561600\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBikes covered: Ducati Multistrada 1200, 1200 S and 1260, 2015 to 2020\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: optional header, for use with the Akrapovic Slip-On Line\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade of: titanium, with cast parts from Akrapovic's foundry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 1.5 kg against 7.4 kg standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower: up to 150 PS from 145.5 standard; 6 PS more at 3,250 rpm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTorque: up to 124.45 Nm from 121 standard; 13.3 Nm more at 3,250 rpm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNoise: 106 dB against 99.5 standard, measured at 4,750 rpm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorkshop time: about ninety minutes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApproval: none; closed circuits only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Akrapovic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53628766126346,"sku":"E-D12E6","price":1038.87,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7831\/0410\/files\/E-D12E6.png?v=1790329740","url":"https:\/\/inter-pace.com\/en-it\/products\/akrapovic-optional-header-titanium-ducati-multistrada-1260-e-d12e6","provider":"Inter-Pace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
