What makes this exhaust system so unique, you ask? The details. I don’t necessarily mean that in a sense that the Zard unit is overflowing with them; it’s immaculate and straightforward to look at.
But while it may not feature intricate welds or engraving like some other units on the market do, it does make up for this by looking classy and classic.
Zard’s in-house manufacturing is marked by an in-depth knowledge in metalworking, which they’ve applied in crafting the R18 model.
Zard has launched a brand new exhaust system for the BMW R 18, and we believe the bike deserves every bit of it.
Zard’s previous exhaust systems have been noted for their exquisite artistry, superior performance.
And detailed consideration of the bike’s lines while remaining true to its design philosophy. The new Zard exhaust looks to continue this tradition.
The R18’s exhaust body is hand-crafted with titanium, while the catalytically coated stainless steel headers are also made in-house.
The bike’s engine benefits immensely from this high-quality titanium alloy; it has an unparalleled compression force.
Making it more powerful but with reduced fuel consumption when compared to its counterparts.
So how much more power does this exhaust produce? Well, Zard claims the stock exhaust weighs 16.6 kilograms, while Zard’s stainless steel weighs only 9.5 kilograms and 7 kilograms for the titanium.
Zard’s new exhaust system for the exudes class and style. Zard is an exhaust maker that has been on the leading edge of repurposing OEM exhaust systems for superbike applications, and their latest work for the BMW R 18 is no different.
The exhaust retails at 2,138 Euros ($2,522) for the titanium version or 1,806 Euros ($2,131) for the Black and Mirror Polish version.
