Akrapovič Performance Exhaust Systems

Akrapovič is a world-renowned manufacturer of premium exhaust systems for motorcycles and performance cars. Founded in 1990 by former motorcycle racer Igor Akrapovič, the company was born out of a desire for higher-quality exhaust components than what were available on the market at the time. Originally operating under the name 'Skorpion' (later changed due to trademark conflicts with Ford), the brand quickly gained a reputation for using high-tech materials like titanium and carbon fiber to improve engine performance and reduce weight.

Today, Akrapovič is the industry standard for performance exhausts, deeply embedded in the world of professional racing, including MotoGP and World Superbike. The company remains headquartered in Ivančna Gorica, Slovenia, where it operates its own state-of-the-art titanium foundry and manufacturing facilities. This vertical integration allows them to maintain strict quality control over the complex metallurgical processes required for their high-performance products.

Ownership of the brand remains private and independent, led by its founder, ensuring that the company's focus stays on technical innovation and racing excellence rather than short-term corporate interests. Akrapovič works directly as an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) partner for premium brands such as BMW Motorrad, Yamaha, and Kawasaki, while also maintaining a massive global distribution network for aftermarket enthusiasts.
