The pictures also show the main highlight of this bike, which is its all-new SC Project GP-22 titanium exhaust. Overall, this bike looks extremely beautiful and can make any grown-up motorcycle enthusiast drool.
The SC Project GP-22 Exhaust
For those who may not be aware, the SC Project GP-22 exhaust is one of the most sought-after and insane handcrafted exhausts. It has been created by the SC-Project Race Department, which has incorporated MotoGP technology into this exhaust.
This is the same exhaust that was used by professional riders Aleix Espargaró and Maverick Viñales in the 2022 MotoGP World Championship. It is made from a special titanium alloy, and it only weighs 500 grams, which is extremely mind-blowing. It helps in reducing the bike’s weight and enhances its performance.
Speaking of performance enhancement, this exhaust offers an additional power of 6 bhp and 6 Nm of torque at 8000 rpm. Apart from this, the main highlight of this exhaust is its mesmerizing sound. Those who love superbikes drool after listening to the exhaust note of the SC Project GP-22.
