DescriptionThe whole story▼
Akrapovic publishes nothing about this part. Not a description, not a decibel figure, not the name of the exhaust it belongs to — the entry consists of a part number, a price and a fitment list. That is unusual even by the standards of this section, and it is the first thing a buyer should know.
Key Features
- An optional noise damper for the 2015 to 2018 BMW S 1000 RR
- Akrapovic publishes no description, no figure and no system name
- Have it confirmed against your silencer before ordering
- A previous-generation part for a previous-generation motorcycle
What Can Be Said With Certainty
Three things. It is an optional noise damper, which in Akrapovic's range always means a removable restrictor that fits inside a silencer outlet and lowers the measured static level. It is listed for the S 1000 RR of 2015 to 2018. And it is a separate purchase from any exhaust.
Everything else — which silencer, how much quieter, what it costs in flow — is not published, and this page will not supply invented answers to make the listing look fuller.
Which S 1000 RR
The 2015 to 2018 machine, the generation before BMW introduced ShiftCam and the current chassis in 2019. It is a distinct motorcycle with its own exhaust systems, and parts do not carry across in either direction.
A 2019 or later S 1000 RR takes V-TUV111, which is documented and carries a published figure of 104.8 dB. If your motorcycle is the newer one, that is the part to look at.
How to Order This Safely
Give the distributor the part number of the Akrapovic silencer on the motorcycle along with V-TUV108, and ask them to confirm the pairing. They can check it against data the public catalogue does not show.
With no published system reference, that step is not optional here. It is the only way to be sure.
An Older Superbike
The 2015 S 1000 RR is a used motorcycle now, and a great many of them have become track bikes — which is exactly the use in which a noise damper becomes relevant. That is presumably why the part is still in the price list a decade later.
Parts availability for a superbike of this age is not something to take for granted, and a small item like this disappearing from a catalogue is common.
Removable, as Always
A noise damper is a bolt-in restrictor. It changes nothing permanently: in for the meeting that requires it, out again afterwards with hand tools.
Why Circuits Care
Static noise limits exist because circuits operate under planning conditions set by the communities around them. A meeting that exceeds its limit risks the venue's licence, which is why scrutineers enforce the figure without negotiation.
Road Approval
Not applicable in the usual sense. A damper addresses a circuit's noise limit rather than road legality, which rests with the silencer and its own approval status.
