TRANSALP was born in the mid-80s. Over time it evolved and then stopped 10 years ago with the XL700ABS. The history of this model indicates it as the first crossover. This attitude to go from “citizen” to “traveler” remains a firm point, as well as the 21″ front and 18″ rear spoked wheels. In fact the engine changes, which in the 2023 version goes from V-twin to Parallel, with a displacement of 755 cc. Honda designed it for two new bikes: the TRANSALP and the HORNET CB750. From here it is easy to understand that it is a lively, almost sporty engine.
MIVV has studied it and coupled it to two of its silencers, proposing the Slip-On assembly. The list of advantages includes the aesthetic line, the sound, the performances, the lightness.
They are called DAKAR and OVAL; the first is offered in two finishes and high positioning, the second in three finishes and standard positioning on the bike (allowing the assembly of side cases).
Optional accessories are available to complete the setup: Two carbon fibre heat shields (61.00 euros and 113.00 euros), easy to install and designed exclusively for the exhaust system proposed for this bike.
All the MIVV proposals indicated above comply with the homologation of the motorcycle.
DAKAR
It is a project deriving from the experience acquired by the brand in the field of Rally Competitions. Its distinctive advantages, its simplicity and sturdiness, make it suitable for the demanding off-road. The coupling with the TRANSALP engine gives unexpected performances.
The INOX version uses natural 304 steel with the addition of a special “pearlead” finish, aesthetically appreciable, which makes it “Highly resistant”. The BLACK version is created by painting the stainless steel body using a special ceramic-based process.
THE ADVANTAGES OF DAKAR
Max power: + 2.00 HP at 9,400 rpm. Max torque: + 2.00 Nm at 7300 rpm. Weight: – 1.10kg.
OVAL
It is a muffler with great attention to detail and capable of adapting to different types of motorcycles, representing the best compromise between design and performance; In the case of the TRANSALP it adopts the standard positioning, not interfering with the possible assembly of side cases.
Three versions are proposed: The INOX has a brushed 304 steel body, natural finish.
The BLACK features the “Black Moon” effect obtained with ceramic-based paint.
The BLACK with carbon cap stands out for the “Black Satin” brushed effect obtained from a special colouring process and the addition of the carbon cap, a technical element that gives a particularly aggressive look to this proposal.
THE ADVANTAGES OF OVAL
Max power: + 1.00 HP at 9,400 rpm. Max torque: + 1.00 Nm at 7,300 rpm. Weight: – 2.00kg.
RETAIL PRICES
DAKAR: € 531.00 (Inox) and € 569.00 (Black Stainless). OVAL: € 427.00 (Inox); € 441.00 (Black Stainless Steel); € 534.00 (Black stainless steel with carbon cap).
The stainless steel de-cat pipe ( € 393.00 + VAT) can be mounted both with MIVV silencers and with the OEM one and is aimed exclusively at those who use the vehicle for competitions as its application invalidates the homologation and consequently the use of the vehicle on the road.
