Hp Corse SP-1 Evo Short and Ducati DesertX: power and sound for explorers

La Ducati DesertX it is a motorbike designed to tackle different types of routes with sophisticated electronic management, which enhances its versatility of use, as well as a muscular 937 cc heart. Hp Corse dedicated the exhaust to this example SP-1 Evo Short, a system that recalls the character of off-road models. Hp Racing will appear in the next edition of EICMA in Pavilion 11, stand M30.

The exhaust system

SP-1 Evo Short presents low or high passage slip-on fitting with quick release via springs and can be placed on the original catalyst or on the 2 in 1 decatalyzed fitting developed by HP Corse. In this last case, the use of the terminal is only permitted on a closed circuit and not on roads open to traffic.
The low-pass SP-1 Evo Short outlet spout, designed for the model Ducati, is characterized by a peculiar appearance compared to the "standard" model, given that it has a more marked bend angle to prevent the fumes from reaching and overheating the directional indicator. Overall, the vision further recalls the "rally" panorama. Euro 5 approved, the SP-1 Evo Short system features a 300 mm Titanium jacket with a natural finish.

An essential concept defined by taking inspiration from the well-known rally raids, with a reinterpretation of the past through minimalist lines and a contained mass. The weight of the SP-1 Evo Short system with low passage with catalyst is 6.673 grams, that of the SP-1 Evo Short also with low passage and 2 in 1 Decatalyst reaches 2.796 grams. While the weight of the high-bore SP-1 Evo Short system with catalyst amounts to 7.036 g., the high-bore system with 2 in 1 Decatalyst reaches 3.159 g., according to the information.
The body is oval in shape, the end caps are conical and molded, so you can see the laser-engraved "Hp Corse Titanium" logo with a round outlet spout without welding in the bend corner, to facilitate a perfect flow of exhaust gases , in which the extractable dbk appears.
