When it comes to adventure bikes, especially those designed primarily for off-road, there are tons of upgrades designed to improve performance, specifically by reducing weight. In a similar fashion as to how swapping out the exhaust on a street bike results in lighter weight and an enhanced sound, this benefit is much more apparent with ADVs, as they usually have upswept exhausts, resulting in a higher center of gravity.
This is why upgrades as simple as a slip-on exhaust system can do quite a lot in improving an adventure-enduro bike's off-road handling. Having said that, KTM's dynamic duo of adventure bikes, i.e., the 890 Adventure R and Husqvarna Norden 901 just got a shiny new aftermarket exhaust system from Italian manufacturer HP Corse in the form of the SP-1 Carbon. HP Corse has quite an extensive catalog of products designed for all sorts of bikes. In fact, prior to the launch of the SP-1 Carbon, it already had quite the impressive assortment of products for these bikes.
