Our Story

1990: Company founded by Igor Akrapovic, based on racing experience

The Akrapovic (pronounced "Ack-rap'-o-vich") company was founded in 1990, based on the experience gained in the field of motorcycle tuning by Igor Akrapovic. His knowledge comes from his own personal experiences and observations, as he himself often tested the results of his work as a motorcycle racer on the track. He capped a successful ten-year career with numerous championship titles in the F1 and SBK classes on both the national and international levels. His ceaseless desire to create and exceptional feeling for four-stroke motors, especially racing motors, has made the Akrapovic name famous throughout the world.

In the search for perfection in tuning racing motorcycles, he was confronted with an insurmountable problem. There simply were no high-quality exhaust systems available to the public which could meet extreme technical demands. The systems which were available were for the most part poorly made, with the main parts usually welded together, and usually with excessively thick pipe walls. It was considered a success if the system at least came close to fitting onto the bike for which it was intended. Technically superior exhaust systems were astronomically expensive and difficult for the average customer to obtain. For Akrapovic, whose perfectionism is well-known, there was no choice. He had to go into the field of manufacturing exhaust systems himself.

1990: 1997: Name changed from “Skorpion in Scorpion” to “Akrapovic”

A trendy name which was no different from those of many other exhaust systems no longer suited our purposes and did not suit the product which it stood for. Another problem was its similarity to other registered trademarks around the world. We decided to replace the Skorpion name, which was already well-known among enthusiasts, with something completely unique, as befit the product. The logical answer was to use the name of the founder of the company, Igor Akrapovic. The unique and somewhat exotic brand name, which characterizes the product, was well-received among the public. Although at the time we were not completely sure that our decision was correct, today we know it was an excellent move.
