Performance:
The Honda Transalp
is a very underrated bike. Those who own will be able to tell you just
what a great versatile bike they really are. Staintune came under a lot
of pressure from the Transalp owners to develop a system and finally
thanks to Richard Kennedy of Tasmania for keeping the pressure on!! It’s
now available.
The Transalp on the dyno delivers a performance
gain of 5 Hp, but it’s
only when you road test the bike that you will find the significant changes.
As with most free flowing exhaust systems you will instantly notice a
more crisp and responsive throttle, a very noticeable gain is felt through
mid range acceleration and roll on is almost sensual.
What about
the noise:
Staintune supplies all exhausts with the removable restrictor
system. The Staintune’s with the restrictors in will give a very
nice deep throaty note and with them out well..it just gets
better.
Restrictors in: 81 dba @ 3750 rpm
Restrictors out: 87 dba @ 3750 rpm
Weight savings:
The standard system is cumbersome and heavy at 5 Kg while the
Staintune is 2.8 Kg
Finish:
The Staintune system is a single oval which enables the use
of the standard panniers. The finish is a highly polished Stainless Steel.
