I recently installed the ZARD Full Kit Racing Exhaust on my 2019 Bonneville T100, and I have to say—it transformed my ride into something breathtaking.

Featherlight Elegance

The moment I hefted the new system into place, the weight difference was undeniable. The original exhaust clocks in at 14.3 kg, whereas the ZARD kit weighs just 4.4 kg, shaving off nearly 10 kg from the bike’s rear end. That kind of weight reduction isn't just a number—it translates directly into sharper cornering, a noticeably lighter feel, and a bike that handles with surprising poise and agility
Built Like a Masterpiece

Visually, the kit is nothing short of superb. With choices in satin, mirror-polished, or Black Cerakote finishes, the finish options retain the T100’s vintage charm while injecting a polished, performance look. The craftsmanship—the welds, the materials—is top-tier, reaffirming what riders have come to expect from ZARD’s meticulous build quality
A Soulful Voice

Start your T100 with this fitted, and you're rewarded with a deep, rumbling growl—rich at idle and evolving into a throaty, aggressive note when you roll the throttle. It's bold, expressive, and never brash—exactly the tone this classic twin deserves Riders on Triumph forums often praise this kit for giving the bike "the voice it should have had from day one," and I wholeheartedly agree.

A Breath of Performance

Beyond the sound and simplicity, the handling and throttle response improvements are real. The bike now responds with crisper mid-range delivery and overall smoother power—like the engine’s inhaling and exhaling with new vitality. Many have noted extra torque and horsepower across the rev range with the ZARD system fitted
Seamless Installation

The installation process was surprisingly seamless. All components lined up perfectly, and the instructions were clear and hassle-free. I appreciated the optional rear-mount conversion kit for a cleaner look—though in my case, the low mount fit just fine

I just swapped the stock exhaust on my 2018 Bonneville T100 for the ZARD Full Kit Racing Exhaust, and wow, what a transformation.

First impressions: The build quality is superb—handcrafted stainless steel, clean welds, and finishes in satin, mirror-polished, or black Cerakote that honor the classic Bonneville aesthetic while adding a modern racing edge
Weight reduction: The difference is staggering—the original exhaust was about 14.3 kg, while the ZARD kit weighs only 4.4 kg, shaving almost 10 kg off the bike This weight loss isn’t just a number—it translates to noticeably sharper handling, more agile curves, and a lighter overall feel.

Sound character: At idle, the exhaust emits a deep, rich rumble. Twist the throttle and it deepens into an aggressive, throaty growl without ever becoming obnoxiously loud—just the kind of voice the T100 deserved from day one
Performance gains: There’s a much crisper mid-range response. The engine breathes easier, gives sharper throttle feedback, and feels smoother across the rev range. Riders on forums often note that the bike “breathe[s] easier and feels much better throughout the rev range” with ZARD fitted
nstallation: Smooth sailing. Everything lined up precisely, and the instructions made it a fairly simple install. The option for a rear-mount conversion is neat too if you're looking to tweak the look or alignment
