KTM Duke 390 recently got itself a Yoshimura Alpha T slip-on exhaust for international market. Priced at $429 (INR 27,500 approx), the unit is capable of pushing the limits higher from a stock motorcycle. Buyers can expect 11% rise in total horsepower and 17% of hike in torque output.
This takes the tentative values to 48 HP and 41 Nm on KTM 390 Duke with Yoshimura Alpha T. Apart from higher output, riders are served with mind blowing exhaust note that reminds you of the rev range on which you are actually riding. Even after being a single cylinder motorcycle, the exhaust note won’t let you down in any scenario. Here is the exhaust sound comparison video:
Being slip-on further keeps things simple for KTM riders as no need for ECU tune comes this way and hence, emissions would stay under control automatically. Made out of premium metals than the stock unit, Alpha T is lightweight and highly effective when compared to other exhausts around this segment.
Ultimate Auto Impex, official distributors for Yoshimura exhaust in India, may soon retail the same for Indian buyers. The same exhaust is compatible with 2018 KTM RC 390, making it the best option to consider if you loves racing on the track. Buyers can even consider a fender eliminator kit (Rs 9,500) that removes the rear fender and helps in number plate placement right after the rear light.
The long tail messes up with KTM’s sport appeal and thus, they will help you place the indicators and plate perfectly to retain the road legal status.
Yoshimura manufactures a lot more accessories for various Indian models and one could consider visiting their official website for more details on superbike accessories. As the same is not currently available in India, you can check out few other Yoshimura exhaust models on Amazon India.
