Aggressive Sound That Reflects the Adventure Spirit

Improved Performance for Enhanced Riding
The SC Project X-Plorer Carbon Exhaust focuses on performance. It reduces backpressure and optimizes exhaust flow. This results in smoother acceleration and improved throttle response. The exhaust helps the engine breathe more easily, unlocking more power across the RPM range.
You’ll notice sharper throttle response, particularly in the mid-range (3,000–7,000 RPM), where most adventure riders spend most of their time. This extra power makes the bike more responsive, whether you’re climbing hills or overtaking on highways.
Even without remapping the ECU, the SC Project X-Plorer delivers noticeable performance gains. For riders seeking more, pairing the exhaust with a high-flow air filter or custom tune will enhance power and fuel efficiency.
Built to Endure Harsh Environments
Adventure riders face unpredictable weather and rough conditions. Whether it’s rain, dust, mud, or extreme heat, the SC Project X-Plorer Carbon Exhaust is built to last. The combination of stainless steel and carbon fiber ensures durability, while TIG welding and CNC-machined components guarantee a precise fit.
The carbon fiber end cap not only looks sleek but also helps reduce heat buildup, offering extra protection. This makes the exhaust ideal for extended off-road rides, where bikes often encounter harsh environments.
