Ducati Supersport Full Akrapovic System being Dyno Tested and Installed

[@priedthirdeye]

I have a 2021 SS S. I love it! Great video.

The power of evidence - no arguments against clear data

[@andresparrow2971]

Thank you for both the before and after exhaust but more importantly the dyno numbers at the different settings considering this bike seriously.

[@azguitar]

Excellent test! Measly power gains for the cost.

[@dougiequick1]

exactly ,,,,maybe worthwhile if buying used to find one someone else shelled all the coin out for lol. What I dont like about any aftermarket can systems is the glass packs that make em sound better come with the never talked of maintence issue most stock exhausts are not cursed with which is the fiberglass packs only last 5k miles or whatever before getting too blown out affecting tuning and noise....Is it REALLY worth a slight power bump? I think not ...I think it is 95% ego "look at ME I have AKRO I am so SO smart and special" or whatever Meanwhile some crazy old dude on a heavy touring bike blows your doors off in the twisties

[@unclealzbbq2185]

BUT Damn That sound..They should bottle that-- and it just KILLER !! No better looking Bike and that exhaust work of art

[@ragerider6283]

Very interesting vid. Looks & sounds awesome but surprised the gains weren't significantly more on paper tbh but I appreciate it may feel a lot better on the road. Also a shame for me at least that the exhausts, as nice as they are, do away with the pillion pegs.

[@turbobike749]

Thanks for the comments mate. I think it will go better with the baffles out. Will have to get it back in for part 2 with no DB Killers 👍🏼👍🏼

[@ragerider6283]

@@turbobike749 Cool. Looking forward to it & will definitely tune in. Very interested in this bike but trying to work out if the S is worth the extra money or to go for the standard & add some nice bits like exhausts for about the same money in the end as the S costs.

[@turbobike749]

Apparently the standard version feels better on the road for the average rider than the more stiffer feeling S model. The quickshifter is a must have item 👍🏼👍🏼

[@ragerider6283]

@@turbobike749 Cheers, that's really helpful info. I'm no Rossi so I'm sure the standard would be more than adequate for my average ability. Will also bear the QS in mind.

[@ToniMino1]

@@ragerider6283 I would say that the "S" should have a better reselling value a few years down the line...

[@adikas11]

I think that after replacing the exhaust, you need to make a new engine map. Was it made?

[@Garasi054]

I love this video, thx for sharing

[@paulgross6946]

Good video. Surprising, that the power increase is quite moderate, considering a full Akra-System.

[@turbobike749]

I should try and get the bike back in and give it some runs without the DB Killers installed in the mufflers.

[@TK-cl1jm]

@@turbobike749 Please do! Great video of a bike I might buy!

[@ancogbernard]

ducati is a slow bike. 950cc supersport supposed to be a literbike category around 200ps. and the price of this are far more expensive than japanese liter bike that have 200+ps.

[@Mr_Glenn]

​@@ancogbernard You're missing the entire point of this bike. It's a sports tourer that's more leaning towards the sporty side. It's not a full blown supersport like the name suggests.

[@ancogbernard]

@@Mr_Glenn so the 1299 is a sports tourer too? 🥴🤦

[@TheIronWord]

Thanks for taking the time to make a video on this, i just picked up a 2019, it's the best bike i have ever ridden. If you do any more mods please do a video. Do they make a power commander for this?

[@turbobike749]

Enjoy your new bike mate. Thanks for the nice comment too. I dont know of any powercommander etc. I would fit the genuine quickshifter if you dont already have it. They are awesome !!

[@MotoDaniofc]

Can you tell us the torque for urban ride mode?

[@984francis]

Nice. I have the Akrapovic sytem on order for mine😁

[@colin55594]

Silencer is in ?

[@andrewfenwick9985]

Did you need to do a tune?

[@JS-fb6ww]

Does the bike have to be remapped and tuned after installing an Akrapovic exhaust or termignoni exhaust?

[@_trudge]

no but should be

[@userskill1014]

Any way to still have a passenger? With this exhaust setup?

[@900BEN]

Nope

[@snippidippi]

Flash the ecu so it's unrestricted on throttle. Would probably brake the 110hp barrier

[@JS-fb6ww]

Why can't akra design the exhaust to be lower on bike and on one side for best handling and center of gravity?

[@900BEN]

It's Titanium so the weight isn't really an issue

[@ChuXseN]

There is no medium power mode on this bike

[@TK-cl1jm]

These pipes look quite a bit higher. Issues using the stock panniers?

[@turbobike749]

Hi mate. Sorry but I cant remember how it goes with the pannier clearance.

[@TK-cl1jm]

@@turbobike749 No worries, thanks for the reply. Cheers from Vermont!

[@DavidSmith-jj5pr]

they will not fit

[@Crimson_Strider]

weird torque line with the akrapovic

[@turbobike749]

Sounds mint !

[@Redir89]

You didn’t remove the db killers 🤦🏻‍♂️ they were still on so you can’t really hear what it’s supposed to sound like :(

[@PowerTrip1r2]

Awesome thanks

[@ki8361]

Dang ... wish I have this exhaust on my bike. But cost too much $

[@turbobike749]

Sound mint !

[@davidozburn1155]

Just think what it would do with Carbon Fiber wheels.

[@turbobike749]

Could only be better ! Carbon wheels are nice !

[@JS-fb6ww]

Where you guys located?

[@TheNazradin]

I have this bike, and without the baffles, full system it sounds sweet. Who cares if you are only making around 110hp, its all usuable on the street. upload a vid with out baffles with the mic a tad closer than on this one.

[@turbobike749]

Cheers for the comment mate.I have since also fitted another system without the baffles. Sounds incredible !! I will see if I can get it back in for a rev up and also see if any power difference.

[@colin55594]

After second gear the bike is slow. I love the bike but it needs the v2 engine

[@MUNRO13]

Should’ve taken the baffles out!

[@turbobike749]

I think we may try them out too.

[@gregg5473]

Would ge great to see the dyno result without the db killer !

[@900BEN]

I did . And nearlly blew a copper of a wall whilst he was having a cup of tea 😂

[@TheRealKing1]

Not worth the extra 3,500 in parts plus 500 in Dyno remap

[@terrynicholson9273]

£2500 for the Akra plus about £500 of Dyno tuning for 4hp, doesnt seem worth it really.

[@wheelieking3976]

Minimal £250 per Hp increase.

[@Foxtrot1967]

$2,000 for 3 HP!? And please don't say its sounds great or better. Just buy a Buell Hammerhead instead and be happy!

[@turbobike749]

Haha

[@whitealiens]

Actually you have to pay 2k and not even get factory claimed 110hp, that's very sad.

[@CorvusHyperion]

@@whitealiens Ducati's quoted power is crank HP not wheel HP, so the bike is actually very healthy, making more than 110hp at the crank if it is making 108 at the rear wheel! The Dyno is measuring power at the wheel.

[@edsonroadmoto]

Why not say it if it’s true?

[@JS-fb6ww]

More like $3500

[@JS-fb6ww]

$3500 pre install cost for an exhaust that adds minimal performance gains and takes away pillion pegs. Seems like a waste.

[@bradhone9168]

Only $1160 per hp🤨

[@DriversFromHere]

I will never do this to my ss

[@MotoM1234]

Great looking bike but too under powered. They need to make one of these with the 1260 motor...

[@turbobike749]

Hell yeah that would be soo good. I agree a 1260 would be the go. I never thought of it untill you said it. We should build one 😀😀

[@vicomtedelomagne]

@@turbobike749 No. Ducatis are better with just enough. This bike has as many horses as a 996, or an ST4S. That is enough.

[@rdsimmonds]

I disagree. I've ridden one of these, and for what it is, the power is quite adequate.

[@Chingchoncry]

@@rdsimmonds hey bro is the heat on supersport is cool as japanese bikes or hot as 899 and 959?

[@rdsimmonds]

@@Chingchoncry it isn't nearly as hot as the Panigale models.

[@dougiequick1]

Maybe the best thing about this weight savings? Maybe less heat pouring out? I mean the bike is pretty much a hog considering it is a high end Italian Sport Bike I would think more in the sub 420llb range all gassed up but no and the worst thing about all this ia the bike is still a dog compared to what else is avaiable. Yes a comfy dog and that is what it has going for it more than anything I suppose...arguably more economical bit seriously? If springing for Italian Job who is scrimping anyway?

[@mhopkins491]

Not worth the money

[@JS-fb6ww]

Agreed.

[@mikelarry5948]

Wow that sucks just 3hp. That is the last Straw that broke the camel's back. No joke i was going to Sign the paperwork today at the dealer for my 2019 ducati supersport and buy the Exhaust kit and have it installed at the dealer for 17k but now, Got back my deposit and just got my 100% new old stock 2018 Hayabusa for 12k out the door price. I love the ducati look and Race reputation but just to Many Headaches with Ducati. On the street, very bad reviews and stories of reliability problems on KZbin, just not worth the Stress and price and lack of performance with ducati I see ducati owner always have to Wait for parts and service and warranty issues. Japanese bike have none of that! Sorry guys. I Rather be riding then waiting on the side of the road LOL. MAYBE THE ITALIAN WILL GET THERE S*#T TOGETHER IN ANOTHER LIFE TIME. LIKED THE JAPANESE

Thanks again for your response

[@dougiequick1]

Crap load of money and hassle for slight power gain one will totally take for granted immediately following....seriously why bother. It's a heartache if you ask me trying so hard to improve everyday bikes ....been there done it too many times ...would have to be SERIOUS improvement for me to drool over anything....MEH And that opinion without even taking into account having to repack the can every few thousand miles! AND the extra NOISE even when the packing is fresh ....it is just dumb IMHO I mean this is NOT a trackbike so an extra few percent power wont buy ANYTHING save vanity perhaps
