DescriptionThe whole story▼
The Force slip-on in dark electro-coloured stainless steel — the least expensive of the four surfaces Spark offers for this boxer, and the one that stays out of the way.
Key Features
- Homologated slip-on for the BMW R 1200 R and R 1200 RS, 2015 to 2016.
- Force silencer in dark electro-coloured stainless steel.
- Carbon heat shield included.
- Compatible with the original side cases.
- 3,0 kg against 4,5 kg standard.
- Certificate issued by the Italian Ministry of Transport.
The Panniers Still Fit
Spark states it on its own page: compatible with the original side cases. On an R 1200 R or RS that specification decides whether an exhaust is usable at all, because the standard luggage mounts sit exactly where an aftermarket silencer wants to be.
A carbon heat shield comes in the box rather than as an extra, which on a machine that carries a pillion and luggage is not a styling item.
Black That Is in the Metal
Dark style is an electrochemical treatment of the stainless surface, not a coating over it. Nothing chips where the clamp bites and nothing lifts as the silencer heats up. Against the R 1200 R's black engine and dark frame the case reads as part of the structure instead of an accessory bolted to it.
The Cheapest of the Four
Spark offers this silencer in carbon fibre, titanium, dark style and stainless steel. Dark style is the lowest-priced of the four, slightly under the carbon version GBM0403COM, while the case, the pipe, the mounting and the certificate are shared.
That makes it the sensible starting point rather than the compromise, particularly on a motorcycle where the silencer sits low and half-hidden behind a pannier frame.
What the Weight Change Is Worth
3,0 kg against 4,5. On a 230 kg motorcycle it is not a handling revolution, and it would be dishonest to sell it as one. It is a kilo and a half taken from the highest and most outboard point at the back of the bike, and it is noticeable when the machine is being manoeuvred rather than ridden.
Approved Across Europe
Spark issues the homologation certificate with the part. It comes from the Italian Ministry of Transport and is recognised throughout Europe, which is the point of buying an approved silencer rather than a track one.
The Force Case
Force is Spark's plainest shape: a straight-sided body with an angled cut at the outlet and no ribbing or cap detail. On a boxer, where the silencer sits low and half-hidden behind the pannier frame, that restraint is the right answer — the case is meant to be seen in profile and not otherwise.
The end cap is black on both metal versions, which is what gives the outlet its definition against a dark case.
What Is Replaced
Silencer and connecting pipe. Manifold, catalytic converter and sensors stay as BMW built them, which is what the certificate is written around.
Fitment & Compatibility
BMW R 1200 R and R 1200 RS, 2015 to 2016. The carbon fibre version of the same silencer is GBM0403COM.
Road Approval
EC type-approved. Spark supplies the certificate, issued by the Italian Ministry of Transport and recognised throughout Europe.
