Aprilia Racing has renewed the technical partnership with SC-Project for the 2026 MotoGP season. The collaboration between these two Italian brands of excellence, launched in 2022, continues with the goal of developing cutting-edge exhaust systems for Aprilia RS-GP machines, contributing to maximising performance on the track, as well as for every other range produced by Aprilia Racing.
From 2022, SC-Project has been Aprilia Racing’s Exhaust Official Technical Supplier, contributing to the design, development, and realisation of high-performance exhaust systems for the RS-GP bikes, creating an entirely Italian duo in MotoGP. This collaboration also extends to all the other ranges produced by Aprilia Racing, including the Aprilia RS 660 Trofeo and the RS 457 Trofeo which are protagonists in their respective single-brand trophies, the special “X” series, and collaboration with the partner teams participating in CIV SBK and EWC in the Superstock category. The synergy between Aprilia Racing and SC-Project has led to a path of constant growth, characterised by an exchange of know-how and continuous innovation.
The experience gained in MotoGP has also favoured the launch of close collaboration with the Piaggio Group for the development and official supplying of factory and aftermarket exhaust systems for Aprilia brand motorcycles – exhausts available in both racing and street-legal versions. During the GP di San Marino and the Riviera of Rimini, Aprilia Racing unveiled a new carbon exhaust developed for the RS-GP25 machines ridden by Jorge Martín and Marco Bezzecchi. The new SC-Project exhausts are the result of hours of development aimed at maximising engine performance and improving aerodynamics. Furthermore, thanks to their reduced size, they ensure lower weight.
SC-Project, a Lombard company specializing in the research, design, and production of high-performance exhaust systems, confirms its leadership in the motorcycle sector at a global level. Constantly present in the MotoGP Championship since the 2009 season, SC-Project has for several years been the only Italian company officially engaged in the top class as an exhaust system supplier, exclusively for Aprilia Racing MotoGP since 2022. Almost twenty years after its founding, the Milan-based company continues to grow and innovate, exporting its products worldwide. The headquarters, located in Cassinetta di Lugagnano in the metropolitan area of Milan, represents the heart of an activity that brings together research, technology, and passion for two wheels.
