Akrapovič Exhaust in Titanium for Kawasaki Ninja 500 (24-26), Z 500 (24-26) S-K5SO1-HRT

The Akrapovič titanium slip-on silencer for the Kawasaki Ninja 500 and Z 500 (2024-2026) delivers a deeper sound and has been developed with throttle response in mind. It changes the character of the exhaust without replacing the complete system.

On the Akrapovič dyno, testing against the standard exhaust recorded gains of 0.3 kW (0.4 hp) at 8,750 rpm and 0.3 Nm at 5,000 rpm. Results may vary between bikes.

• Construction: titanium outer sleeve with an imprinted finish for added strength and durability.
• End cap: carbon fibre.
• Components: high-grade stainless-steel link pipe, muffler internals and heat shield.
• Weight: 2.8 kg versus 4.12 kg for the standard exhaust; a saving of 1.3 kg (32%).
• Approval: TÜV Euro 5+ and EC/ECE Euro 5+ type approval.
• Fitting: plug-and-play installation with no remapping required, approximately 30 minutes’ work and an included dB killer.

A carbon-fibre heat shield and a header are available as optional extras. Fitting the header invalidates the exhaust’s type approval.
