I recently installed the ZARD "Conical" Slip-On Exhaust on my 2003 BMW R 850 GS, and I am thrilled with the results. This exhaust has transformed the bike in terms of both performance and sound.

The "Conical" design adds a sleek, modern look to the bike while still complementing the R 850 GS’s rugged, adventure-ready aesthetics. The fit and finish are outstanding—everything is solidly built with high-quality materials, and the design is both clean and aggressive. It’s clear that ZARD takes great care in crafting their products.

Sound-wise, this exhaust makes a huge difference. It adds a deep, throaty growl that makes the bike feel much more alive. At idle, it has a smooth, commanding rumble, and under acceleration, it delivers a satisfying roar. The exhaust is loud enough to give the bike real presence on the road, but it’s not overbearing. Just the right balance of power and refinement.

In terms of performance, the difference was immediately noticeable. Throttle response is sharper, and the bike feels more responsive, especially in the midrange. It breathes easier, and the engine feels livelier. I didn’t do a remap yet, but I imagine that would only enhance the performance further.

Installation was simple and straightforward. The slip-on fit perfectly, and I had it on in no time. ZARD’s attention to detail made it an easy upgrade with no hassles.

If you're looking to add some serious character, sound, and performance to your R 850 GS, the ZARD "Conical" Slip-On Exhaust is an excellent choice. It’s a premium upgrade that makes the bike feel and sound like it should have from the factory.

I recently installed the ZARD "Conical" Slip-On Exhaust on my 2005 BMW R 1150 GS, and the upgrade has been nothing short of fantastic. This exhaust not only improves the performance but completely changes the bike's sound and character in the best way possible.

The "Conical" design is sleek and visually striking, giving the R 1150 GS a more aggressive and modern look while maintaining its rugged adventure bike appeal. The quality of construction is exceptional, with a solid feel and premium materials that make it clear ZARD has put a lot of care into their design.

When it comes to the sound, the ZARD slip-on really delivers. It gives the 1150 GS a much deeper, throatier tone than the stock exhaust. At idle, it has a low, smooth rumble, and when you open the throttle, it roars to life with a satisfying growl. It’s not too loud, just the right amount of presence to make every ride more exciting without being overwhelming.

The performance boost was immediately noticeable. The bike feels more responsive, especially in the midrange, with sharper throttle response. It also feels lighter and more agile, which is a nice bonus when navigating twisty roads or trails. I didn’t even need a remap, but I’m planning to do one soon for even more refined performance.

Installation was quick and easy. The slip-on fit perfectly and only took about 30 minutes to install with basic tools. ZARD has made this an easy upgrade for anyone, even if you’re not a seasoned mechanic.

If you want to take your R 1150 GS to the next level in terms of sound, style, and performance, the ZARD "Conical" Slip-On Exhaust is the way to go. I couldn't be happier with the results.
