MIVV have released four new slip-on exhaust cans for the Honda Africa Twin, which promise increased power and torque – giving riders a helpful boost when conquering the trails.

All four silencers are produced in stainless steel and come in a choice of finishes, to suit even the pickiest of owners. There are two designs to choose from; the Oval and the Speed Edge.

TOP STORIES

The Oval is a ‘true oval’ shape, with the Speed Edge being more of a straight-cut with a flat inside edge – allowing it to hug the chassis of the bike.

MIVV claim that both exhausts will improve on performance, with the Oval creating a 7.6bhp increase in power and an additional 6.3 Nm of torque. The Speed Edge offers an increase of 2.6bhp and 4.8 Nm of torque. Multiple de-cat systems are also expected later in the year.

The Oval with carbon end cap is available in either titanium or carbon casing and will cost roughly £295. The Speed Edge with carbon end cap will cost an estimated £350 and an all-black ceramic-coated version is yours for around £385.

All four pipes are road legal and have removable baffles. They are also developed specifically for the stock bikes – meaning they simply mount straight up to it.

News Editor - I joined the MCN team straight from studying at the University of Sheffield, having achieved Class One Honours in Journalism Studies and a Gold Standard Level 3 Diploma in Journalism from the National Council for the Training of Journalists (NCTJ). I started out as Acting Consumer Editor, before becoming the Senior Online Reporter, Senior Writer and more recently the News Editor. Although my first love will always be performance bikes and racing, I have a passion for all things two-wheeled. I have reported on everything from breaking new bike news to charity fund raising, as well as attending countless international new model launches and nurturing the growth of MCN’s amazing YouTube channel alongside a very talented team. I did my Compulsory Basic Training (CBT) on my 16th birthday and passed my full test around a year later. I now covers around 20,000 road miles a year on motorcycles of all genres and in all weathers. I have also experienced elements of advanced rider training, tackled countless UK and international short circuits and achieved an ACU race licence to begin a fledgling competition career. When I’m not at the track, I can be found chugging along the back lanes aboard my Royal Enfield Classic 350 two-up with my girlfriend.
