Pro Circuit has new exhaust models compatible with GasGas, Husqvarna and KTM 450-class off-road bikes. Pierer Mobility’s three brands are all high-performance off-road machines, and if you’re looking for a little more sound and a little more performance, then read on. 

Pro Circuit currently offers two models. The American exhaust manufacturer offers customers two types of material, namely stainless steel with the T-6 and titanium with the Ti-6. Both systems are ideal for closed-circuit off-road racing, thanks to the additional performance these pipes can provide. The pipes meet AMA amateur noise requirements, but not FIM requirements, so if you’re taking part in an FIM-authorized event, think twice. It’s also worth noting that only the titanium model (Ti-6) will be equipped with a carbon fiber cap, and the stainless steel versions come with a stainless steel cap. 

In addition, there is also a slip-on version made of stainless steel. With regard to the compatibility of these systems, Pro Circuit indicates these models: 

– KTM 450 SX-F F.E. 2022 1/2

– KTM 450 SX-F 2023

– Husqvarna FC 450 F.E. 2022 1/2

– Husqvarna FC 450 2023-2024

– GasGas MC 450 F.E. 2023 ½

All these pipes are manufactured in the USA, for more information you can consult the official Pro Circuit website.

López (Beta Tools SpeedUp/Boscoscuro) was the initial leader, despite a hiccup when his bike stalled at the end of the pit lane. Bo Bendsneyder (Pertamina Mandalika SAG Team/Kalex), Zonta van den Goorbergh (Fieten Oil Racing GP/Kalex), and Izan Guevara (Inde GasGas Aspar/Kalex) also secured qualifying positions.

Ayumu Sasaki is one of the current contenders in the fight for the Moto3 World Championship title and is expected to be close to securing a promotion to Moto2… but not with the Liqui Moly Husqvarna Intact GP team he is currently part of.

According to the SPEEDWEEK.com website, team owner Petter Öttl may not have been able to convince the Japanese rider to stay, as Sasaki’s preference appears to be the Yamaha VR46 Master Camp.

It seems that Sasaki believes he will have better chances with the VR46-managed team with Yamaha’s support. Intact GP has been in Moto2 for several years and has a high budget but has only managed to secure two victories so far. On the other hand, Yamaha may have plans to include the rider in their new satellite team in MotoGP in 2025.
