I recently installed the ZARD Slip-Ons on my 2022 Moto Guzzi V7 850, and I am absolutely thrilled with the improvement. From the moment I fired up the bike after installation, it was clear that this exhaust is a game-changer. The fitment was perfect, and the sleek, stylish design really complements the V7’s vintage appeal.

The sound is where this exhaust truly shines. The stock exhaust was decent, but the ZARD Slip-Ons give the bike a deep, throaty growl that makes every ride so much more enjoyable. At idle, it has a smooth, rich rumble, and when you accelerate, it opens up into a full-bodied, aggressive tone that gives the V7 850 the sound it deserves. It’s louder than stock, but it’s a clean, refined sound — not too overwhelming, making it perfect for both short city rides and longer cruising on highways.

In terms of performance, the bike feels more responsive. The throttle is smoother, and the power delivery is much more linear. There’s an improvement in acceleration, especially in the mid-range, and the bike just feels more agile and engaging to ride overall.

Installation was quick and simple, and I didn’t need to make any adjustments to the ECU. The exhaust system fits perfectly, and the whole process took less than an hour.

If you're looking to add some personality, performance, and an exhilarating sound to your Moto Guzzi V7 850, I highly recommend the ZARD Slip-Ons. It’s a well-made, quality upgrade that brings out the best in this already incredible bike.
