The Kove 450 has undoubtedly become the most talked-about motorcycle of recent times as it shaked up the adventure world by turning the idea of "Dakar for all" into a motorcycle bridging the gap between racing and dual sport. Today, more than ever, the dream of the “African-style” riding is within everyone's reach but still everyday road travel comfort is not compromised.
There are a number of arguments in favour of the Kove 450: democratic price, riding pleasure and versatility, and not least reliability -Dakar’s final standings do the speaking.
Hp Corse translates this “Every day, Evervwhere adventure” concept into an all new product line, characterized by technological evolution, structural quality, and cutting-edge aesthetics.
The challenge of the emerging Kove has been met with the brand-new, quintessential rally exhaust- SP-1 EVOLUZIONE.
The brand-new exhaust shows an updated design for the end caps, now with ribbing instead of smooth surfaces. The titanium oval casing measures 400 mm in length and features a double-reinforced titanium support bracket, hence ticking the maximum reliability in all conditions box.
SP-1 EVOLUZIONE features ribbed conical end caps and an exhaust tip manufactured through a refined mechanical forming process, with no visible welds at the bend.
The connector is intentionally designed very short aiming to provide the exhaust system with overall firmness, optimal positioning and impeccable final aesthetic result.
Streamlined design and exceptional sturdiness translate into remarkable weight savings (-39% if compared to stock exhaust).
Handmade Tig weldings performed by highly skilled personnel turn SP-1 EVOLUZIONE into a masterpiece of artisanal craftsmanship.
The exhaust system is finished off with the laser-engraved HP Corse logo on its sleeve, which can be further customized upon request by adding driver’s and Team’s name(s). Requests can be made by email to Hp Corse or to the local authorized dealers.
In addition to the meticulous attention to t details and finishing, Hp Corse’s main target is superior performance* - the exhaust can be further upgraded with the optional non catalytic stainless steel central link pipe and the dedicated mapping developed on the dyno, unleashing a maximum output of + 7 CV at 9985 rpm and +4 Nm of torque at 7000 rpm.
The performance increases were recorded during Dyno tests on a motorcycle equipped with the Hp Corse full kit (SP-1 Evolution silencer, non-catalytic mid-pipe, air filter, and dedicated mapping) compared to the stock Kove setup.
As well-known Hp Corse Kove 450 range is 100% Made in Italy, a breeze to install (assembly indtructions included) and full compliant with Euro 5 regulation. All the components are interchangeable with the original ones.
