Peak power is unchanged at 104.7 PS, the gain is 0.8 PS at 7,000 rpm, and the weight saving is the smallest of the four nineT link pipes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor the high-mounted silencer position\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2.8 kg against the standard 4.36 kg: 1.56 kg and 35.8 per cent less\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEC and ECE type approved, plus EPA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1.2 Nm more at 2,650 rpm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTitanium construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe passenger footpegs have to be removed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThirty minutes to fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy the Numbers Are Modest\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBMW's Euro 5 mid-section already weighs 4.36 kg rather than the 8 kg of the pre-2021 part, and the engine is already breathing more freely. There is simply less left to gain, and Akrapovic does not pretend otherwise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompare with the pre-2021 high pipe, L-B12SO9T, which gives 4.1 PS on the older machine. Same part, same position, very different starting point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Pillion Pegs Come Off\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRouting the silencer high puts the exhaust where a passenger's feet would go. Akrapovic states the passenger footpegs have to be removed, and that turns the R nineT into a solo motorcycle in practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you carry a passenger, take L-B12SO10 and mount the silencer low. It is also lighter and considerably cheaper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eApproved Nonetheless\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEC and ECE type approval are both in place. A high-mounted exhaust on a nineT looks like a race modification and is fully legal on European roads — keep the certificate with the vehicle documents.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFour Pipes for One Family\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAkrapovic catalogues four link pipes for the R nineT: low and high, for the pre-2021 and the Euro 5 machines. They are not interchangeable, and the two things that decide which you need are the model year and where you want the silencer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGet the year from the registration document. The bikes look nearly identical across the 2020 to 2021 change.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThirty Minutes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTen minutes longer than the low version, and the difference is the passenger footpegs and their brackets. A boxer's mid-section is otherwise in the open and needs nothing removed first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTitanium, and What It Buys\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1.56 kg for the price of a good set of tyres. On the Euro 5 R nineT that is the honest measure of this part, and it is why the low-mounted pipe is the better value for anyone not committed to the high-exhaust look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eJust Above Idle\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 1.2 Nm arrives at 2,650 rpm, which on an air-cooled boxer is barely above tickover. That is where an R nineT pulls away from a junction, and it is the one figure on this page a rider will feel in ordinary use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFitment and Compatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eL-B12SO11 covers the BMW R nineT, Pure, Racer, Scrambler and Urban G\/S from 2021 through 2023.
