SC PROJECT MTR Carbon EXHAUST FOR DUCATI MULTISTRADA 1260 (2018 – 2020)
The SC-Project MTR Carbon Exhaust brings an exciting performance sc-project-mtr-c…a-1260-2018-2020/ and aesthetic upgrade to the Ducati Multistrada 1260 (2018–2020). Developed with the expertise SC-Project has earned in MotoGP and Superbike racing, this premium slip-on exhaust delivers a powerful blend of modern design, reduced weight, enhanced engine performance, and an unmistakably deep exhaust note. For riders who demand more than stock, this system offers the perfect combination of form and function.
Design and Build Quality
SC-Project engineered the MTR Carbon Exhaust with a focus on durability, weight reduction, and aggressive styling. The muffler features a full carbon fiber body, giving it a sharp, race-ready appearance while significantly reducing weight. It blends seamlessly with the Multistrada’s dynamic lines and complements its premium adventure-touring style.
At the rear, a CNC-machined end cap made from solid anodized aluminum adds an industrial yet refined finish. SC-Project didn’t just design it to look good—they crafted it to endure the high temperatures and vibration of long rides and hard throttle. The anodized finish protects the exhaust over time while maintaining its eye-catching appearance.
SC-Project also designed the exhaust to be fully compatible with Ducati’s original side luggage, making it a performance upgrade that doesn’t compromise on practicality—perfect for long-distance touring enthusiasts.
Performance Improvements
Installing the MTR Carbon Exhaust transforms how the Multistrada 1260 feels and responds. While the power gain may seem modest—approximately +0.8 horsepower at 9800 rpm and +1.1 Nm of torque at 6900 rpm—the improvement in throttle response and mid-range pull is instantly noticeable.
The real impact comes from the weight savings. By shedding around 1.8 kilograms compared to the stock exhaust, the bike becomes noticeably more agile. This reduction improves handling, acceleration, and overall ride quality—particularly during spirited riding or when navigating twisty mountain roads.
The engine feels livelier, more connected, and smoother across the rev range. It’s not just about numbers—it’s about how the bike behaves and how much more confidence it gives the rider.
Sound and Character
The MTR Carbon Exhaust doesn’t just change how the Multistrada performs—it completely transforms how it sounds. SC-Project has tuned the system to produce a deep, throaty exhaust note that suits the bike’s character perfectly.
Without a dB-killer, the system delivers an unrestricted, resonant sound that elevates the riding experience. At idle, the exhaust emits a low rumble, while under acceleration, it builds into a raw and exhilarating roar. Riders who want their bike to sound as serious as it looks will appreciate the unmistakable tone the MTR exhaust brings.
Installation and Fitment
SC-Project designed the MTR Carbon Exhaust as a direct slip-on replacement, allowing for easy installation without major modifications. It comes as a complete kit, including the muffler, carbon heat shield, all mounting hardware, springs, screws, and branded SC-Project stickers.
The system fits all Ducati Multistrada 1260 models from 2018 to 2020. Thanks to the precise manufacturing process, the exhaust mounts securely and lines up perfectly with the bike’s factory components. Riders with basic mechanical knowledge can typically complete installation in under an hour.
Legal and Regulatory Info
It’s important to know that the MTR Carbon Exhaust is designed for racing use only. The absence of a catalytic converter and dB-killer means it does not comply with road-legal noise and emissions standards in many regions. Riders planning to use it on public roads should check their local laws before installing this exhaust.
For track days or private road use, however, the MTR Carbon is a top-tier option that delivers peak performance and maximum sound without compromise.
Pricing and Availability
SC-Project products are known for their craftsmanship and race-proven performance, and the MTR Carbon Exhaust is no exception. It’s available through official SC-Project distributors and performance parts retailers worldwide. Depending on location and tax, the exhaust typically retails between $1,000 and $1,200 USD.
Given the high-quality materials, engineering precision, and improved ride dynamics, many riders consider it a smart investment in their Multistrada’s performance and personality.
Final Thoughts
The SC-Project MTR Carbon Exhaust gives Ducati Multistrada 1260 owners a compelling reason to upgrade. With its lightweight carbon construction, aggressive styling, and deep, raw sound, this slip-on system enhances every aspect of the ride. Backed by SC-Project’s racing heritage, it offers more than just performance—it brings a new level of emotion to your journey.
