Scorpion Exhausts South Africa | Roxstar Performance
Roxstar Performance is the South African supplier of Scorpion motorcycle exhausts. Scorpion Exhausts — trading as Scorpion Redpower Ltd — is a British motorcycle and automotive exhaust manufacturer based in Ripley, Derbyshire, hand-building stainless steel and titanium performance exhausts since 1992. Every Scorpion exhaust supplied through Roxstar is genuine factory product, hand-crafted in the Derbyshire workshop, and matched to your specific motorcycle make, model, and year before the order is placed.
Who Manufactures Scorpion Exhausts?
Scorpion Exhausts is manufactured by Scorpion Redpower Ltd, headquartered at Unit 3, High Holborn Road, Codnorgate Business Park, Ripley, Derbyshire, DE5 3NW, United Kingdom. The company has been designing, developing, and manufacturing performance exhausts in Derbyshire since 1992, with a catalogue that now exceeds 1,500 motorcycle-specific items across major Japanese, European, and British motorcycle platforms.
Scorpion is a vertically integrated manufacturer. The Derbyshire facility handles every stage of exhaust production in-house — concept design, computational fluid dynamics modelling, dyno development, raw stainless steel and titanium fabrication, hand TIG welding, polishing and finishing, and final quality control. That vertical integration is the engineering choice that separates Scorpion from the broader aftermarket exhaust market, where most brands outsource manufacturing to third-party fabrication shops.
The practical outcome of vertical integration is consistency. A Scorpion Serket Taper silencer hand-built in Derbyshire in March 2026 carries the same weld quality, the same internal baffle geometry, and the same finish standard as one built in October 2026, because the same engineers are working at the same benches with the same documented processes throughout.
Hand-built in Britain — what that means in practice
The “hand-built in Derbyshire” claim Scorpion makes is not marketing language layered over an automated production line. Each Scorpion exhaust is hand-formed and hand-welded by Scorpion automotive engineers, with every component checked by quality control technicians before despatch. That production model is unusual in the modern aftermarket exhaust industry, where computer-controlled tube benders and robotic welders have replaced hand fabrication for most volume manufacturers.
Scorpion’s choice to retain hand-build production has two consequences for the buyer. The first is build quality — TIG welds laid by an experienced human welder on a one-at-a-time basis are visibly cleaner than robotic welds and tolerate the heat-cycle stresses of motorcycle exhaust use better over the long term. The second is lead time — Scorpion publishes the warning that “additional manufacturing delays may apply” because each customer’s exhaust is genuinely crafted to order rather than picked from a bulk inventory, which means stock availability needs to be confirmed at the point of quoting rather than assumed.
For a South African rider, the trade-off is straightforward. A hand-built British exhaust takes longer to source than a mass-produced unit. The compensating benefit is build quality that Scorpion warrants for the lifetime of the exhaust.
What Makes Scorpion Exhausts Different From Other Premium Aftermarket Brands?
Three engineering decisions define how Scorpion Exhausts is positioned within the global motorcycle exhaust market.
Performance development inside OEM fuelling tolerances
Scorpion’s published engineering brief is to deliver performance improvement within the original equipment manufacturer’s fuelling tolerances. That is a deliberate constraint. Many aftermarket exhaust brands engineer for maximum theoretical horsepower gain on a dyno, with the trade-off that the resulting exhaust runs the bike’s air-fuel ratio outside the factory engine management map and requires fuel management adjustment or an ECU remap to function correctly.
Scorpion engineers in the opposite direction. The Scorpion silencer is developed on a dyno against the original equipment exhaust on the same bike, and the design target is meaningful performance gain that the bike’s stock fuelling system can accommodate without remap intervention. The result is a 5 to 10 percent power and torque improvement on most platforms — a figure Scorpion publishes openly — that the bike can deliver immediately after fitment, without further work.
For most road riders, that engineering choice is exactly the right one. A slip-on Scorpion silencer fitted on a Saturday morning is a road-ready bike on Saturday afternoon, not a project that requires a separate trip to a dyno tuner.
Aerospace-grade materials in a hand-build context
Scorpion’s material specification list reads at the level of an aerospace fabricator rather than a typical aftermarket exhaust manufacturer. The brand uses Grade 1 aerospace titanium for its premium silencers, T304 and T316 stainless steel for its mainstream ranges, and high-temperature carbon fibre for selected sleeves and end caps. Grade 1 titanium is the most ductile and weldable titanium grade available — the same specification used in aerospace heat-exchanger components and high-end medical implants.
That material choice combined with hand TIG welding produces exhaust components that survive sustained motorcycle use without weld cracking, material fatigue, or the accelerated corrosion that can affect lower-grade stainless tubing. The lifetime guarantee Scorpion offers on its exhausts (covered later in this page) is the manufacturer’s confidence statement on that material and build combination.
Lifetime guarantee and crash damage replacement
Two warranty provisions sit behind every Scorpion exhaust. The first is a lifetime guarantee against manufacturing defect and corrosion — Scorpion stands behind the exhaust for as long as the original buyer owns it. The second is a crash and impact damage guarantee that allows replacement of a damaged exhaust at 50 percent of retail price, subject to the published terms and conditions.
The crash damage provision is unusual in the aftermarket exhaust market and reflects the practical reality that motorcycle exhausts are vulnerable in the event of a drop or low-speed impact. Most premium exhaust manufacturers require the rider to absorb the full replacement cost of a crash-damaged silencer. Scorpion’s 50 percent provision is a meaningful difference for any rider who has dropped a bike at low speed and watched a £600 silencer become a write-off.

What Are the Scorpion Silencer Ranges?
Scorpion organises its motorcycle exhaust catalogue around eight distinct silencer styles, each engineered for a specific combination of visual character, acoustic profile, and motorcycle platform. The full silencer naming convention runs across all motorcycle ranges — a Scorpion Serket Taper silencer for a 2024 Yamaha MT-09 uses the same body design as the Serket Taper for a Triumph Speed Triple, with mounting and inlet sized to each bike.
RP1-GP — flagship Grade 1 aerospace titanium
The RP1-GP is Scorpion’s flagship silencer, manufactured from Grade 1 aerospace titanium with a hexagonal body profile and a CNC-machined billet end cap. The RP1-GP sits at the top of the Scorpion range in both performance terms and price, and is typically specified for litre-class sportbikes such as the Kawasaki Z900, Honda CBR1000RR, Suzuki GSX-R1000, and BMW S1000RR.
The hexagonal silencer body produces a distinctive visual signature that makes the RP1-GP immediately recognisable on a fitted bike. The titanium construction delivers the largest weight reduction over the original equipment exhaust of any Scorpion silencer.
Serket Taper — the contemporary mainstream range
The Serket Taper is the most widely fitted Scorpion silencer across the range and the most common selection for a first Scorpion installation. The silencer body uses a tapered profile with an angular modern visual character, a polymer composite outlet, and aerospace-grade material construction. Serket Taper silencers are available in stainless steel, carbon fibre, and titanium finishes.
The Serket Taper range covers the broadest fitment list of any Scorpion silencer — Yamaha MT-07, MT-09, R1, R3; Kawasaki Ninja 300, ZX-6R, ER-6n; Suzuki GSX-R1000; Triumph Speed Triple; Ducati Scrambler; and many others. For a rider buying a first Scorpion exhaust, the Serket Taper is usually the correct starting point because it offers the strongest combination of visual modernity, fitment availability, and value.
Serket Parallel — full canister profile for sport and naked bikes
The Serket Parallel uses the same engineering DNA as the Serket Taper but with a parallel-sided silencer body rather than a tapered one. The parallel profile produces a fuller visual mass and a slightly different acoustic signature — typically deeper in the mid-range — and is a common selection for naked bikes and sport-tourers where the rider wants a more substantial visual presence.
Serket Parallel fitments cover platforms including the Kawasaki Ninja H2 SX, KTM 790 Duke, Yamaha R1 (multiple generations), and Triumph Speed Triple.
Power Cone — race-derived aggressive profile
The Power Cone uses a tapered cone-shaped silencer body that draws on Scorpion’s Moto GP-derived race engineering heritage. The Power Cone produces a sharper, more aggressive exhaust note than the Serket range and is typically specified by riders building track-focused or race-replica machines.
Carbine — premium carbon fibre construction
The Carbine is Scorpion’s premium carbon fibre silencer, using high-temperature carbon fibre construction over a stainless or titanium liner. The Carbine combines weight reduction with a distinctive visual character and is the silencer most often specified on premium sportbike builds where carbon fibre matches other carbon components on the bike.
Stealth — refined road-tuned profile
The Stealth is Scorpion’s most road-focused silencer, engineered with sound restraint as the primary acoustic goal. The Stealth produces a deeper, more refined exhaust note than the Serket and Power Cone ranges, with reduced volume output. For riders who want the Scorpion build quality and visual character without aggressive sound, the Stealth is the correct selection.
Factory Round and Factory Oval — entry-level Scorpion range
The Factory range is Scorpion’s accessible-price silencer tier, available in both round and oval body profiles. Factory silencers use the same hand-build manufacturing process as the rest of the Scorpion range but with simpler end cap construction and more cost-efficient finishing. The Factory range is the route into Scorpion ownership for riders who want the build quality and lifetime guarantee at a lower price point.
Predator — the most recent Scorpion silencer
The Predator is Scorpion’s newest silencer style, engineered with a distinctive visual character and a deep acoustic profile. The Predator has built a particularly strong following on the Kawasaki Z900RS retro-styled naked bike and the Kawasaki ZX-10R sportbike, where the visual character of the silencer matches the modern interpretation of those platforms.
Slip-On Silencers vs Half Systems vs Full Systems — What Is the Difference?
Scorpion offers three exhaust upgrade configurations across most motorcycle platforms. The right configuration depends on the rider’s performance goal, budget, and how the bike will be used.
Scorpion slip-on silencers
A slip-on silencer replaces only the rear muffler section of the original equipment exhaust. The factory collector, mid-pipe, and catalytic converter remain in place. Slip-on Scorpion silencers are the most common starting point for a first Scorpion installation — the price sits well below a full system, installation takes under an hour on most bikes, and the visual and acoustic improvement over the stock exhaust is substantial.
The performance gain from a Scorpion slip-on is moderate. Most riders see a 2 to 5 horsepower increase at the rear wheel and a noticeable change in exhaust note character, with the bike’s fuel management remaining within stock tolerances.
Scorpion half systems
A half system replaces the rear silencer and adds a bypass pipe that removes the catalytic converter from the exhaust path. The half system delivers a larger performance gain than a slip-on (typically 4 to 7 horsepower at the rear wheel) and a substantially fuller exhaust note because the catalytic converter is no longer dampening exhaust gas flow.
Half systems are a common selection for riders who want more performance and sound character than a slip-on offers but do not want the full cost or complexity of a full system. The half system also allows the rider to upgrade in stages — buy the silencer first, add the bypass pipe later — which is a fitment path Scorpion specifically supports through its modular system design.
Scorpion full systems
A full system replaces the original exhaust entirely — collector, mid-pipe, and silencer. The system is engineered as a single tuned unit, and the performance gain is the largest available from a Scorpion exhaust. Full Scorpion systems on litre-class sportbikes typically deliver gains in the 6 to 10 horsepower range at the rear wheel, with meaningful weight reduction over the original equipment system.
A full system is the correct selection for track-focused builds, race replicas, and riders who want maximum performance and visual change. Full systems are typically supplied for sportbike platforms where the engineering benefit justifies the price step from a half system.
What Materials and Finishes Does Scorpion Offer?
Scorpion silencers are available in four main finishes across most ranges, each producing a different visual and acoustic character.
Brushed stainless steel
Brushed stainless steel is Scorpion’s mainstream material and the most widely available finish across the silencer range. T304 and T316 stainless grades deliver excellent corrosion resistance, durability, and a clean industrial visual character that suits most motorcycle platforms. Brushed stainless is also the most cost-effective Scorpion finish.
Black ceramic coating
Black ceramic coating is applied over a stainless steel base and produces a matte black finish that suits modern naked bikes and stealth-themed builds. The ceramic coating is heat-resistant and durable, with a different visual character from raw black exhaust paint — the ceramic finish has depth and texture that thinner coatings lack.
Carbon fibre
Carbon fibre construction is offered on the Serket Taper, Serket Parallel, and Carbine ranges. The carbon fibre is high-temperature aerospace-grade, used as a sleeve over a metal liner. Carbon delivers weight reduction over stainless and produces a slightly warmer acoustic profile than titanium.
Titanium
Titanium is Scorpion’s premium finish, available on the RP1-GP and selected Serket configurations. Grade 1 aerospace titanium delivers the largest weight reduction over the original equipment exhaust of any Scorpion finish and develops a distinctive bronze-to-blue heat colouration on the silencer body after use. Titanium also produces the sharpest acoustic character in the Scorpion range.
Which Motorcycles Does Scorpion Fit?
Scorpion’s motorcycle catalogue exceeds 1,500 line items and covers the major Japanese sportbike and naked bike platforms, all current European sport and adventure platforms, and most British heritage motorcycles. The brand’s coverage is genuinely broad — broader than Brock’s Performance and comparable to Dominator in fitment depth — and runs from 250cc beginner-friendly platforms up to litre-class superbikes.
The list below is a non-exhaustive summary. Roxstar verifies any specific bike against the live Scorpion catalogue at quoting stage.
Yamaha — strong full-range coverage
Yamaha coverage spans the MT-07, MT-09, MT-10, R1 (multiple generations), R3, R6, R7, YZF-R125, and Tracer 9 GT. The MT-07 and MT-09 are particularly strong fitments for the Serket Taper silencer because the parallel-twin and triple-cylinder engine geometries match the Serket’s acoustic profile well.
Kawasaki — flagship Scorpion platform coverage
Kawasaki Ninja 300, Ninja 400, Ninja ZX-6R, Ninja ZX-10R, Ninja H2 SX, Z650, Z900, Z900RS, Z1000, ER-6n and ER-6f, and Versys 650 platforms have published Scorpion fitments. The Predator silencer has built its reputation on Kawasaki Z900RS and ZX-10R installations specifically.
Suzuki — sport and naked bike coverage
Suzuki GSX-R600, GSX-R750, GSX-R1000, GSX-S1000, V-Strom 650 and 1050, and SV650 fitments are available. The GSX-R1000 is a flagship Scorpion platform with multiple silencer style options across the Serket and RP1-GP ranges.
Honda — sportbike and naked coverage
Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade, CBR600RR, CB650R, CBR650R, CB300R, CB500F, CBR500R, and CBR125R platforms are covered. The CBR1000RR has notable Scorpion full-system fitments engineered specifically for the platform’s evolving exhaust geometry across generations.
BMW — sport platform focus
BMW S1000RR, S1000R, S1000XR, M1000RR, and the F-series (F800GS, F900XR) have Scorpion fitments. Scorpion’s BMW coverage focuses on the sport and supersport platforms, with adventure platform coverage being less comprehensive than Dominator’s.
Triumph — heritage British platform support
Triumph is a flagship Scorpion platform given the shared British manufacturing heritage. Triumph Speed Triple (multiple generations including the 1050 and the 1200 RS), Street Triple, Tiger 800 and 900, Trident 660, Daytona, Bonneville, and Thruxton fitments are well established across the Scorpion silencer range.
Ducati — selected platform coverage
Ducati Monster, Multistrada, Panigale, Streetfighter, Scrambler, and Hypermotard fitments are available. Coverage is more selective than the Japanese platforms but covers the most popular Ducati models.
KTM — sport and naked focus
KTM 390 Duke, RC 390, 690 Duke, 790 Duke, 890 Duke, 1290 Super Duke R, and selected adventure platforms have Scorpion fitments.
Aprilia, Husqvarna, MV Agusta, Royal Enfield, and others
Selected Aprilia (Tuono, RSV4, RS 660), Husqvarna (Vitpilen, Svartpilen), MV Agusta (Brutale, F3), and Royal Enfield (Continental GT, Interceptor) fitments are also available.
If a specific motorcycle is not listed above, Roxstar verifies fitment against the live Scorpion catalogue and confirms part numbers before any order is placed. Sending the exact make, model, and year is enough to get a confirmed answer the same working day.
Buying Scorpion Exhausts in South Africa Through Roxstar
Roxstar Performance is the South African route to genuine Scorpion Exhausts. Sourcing a Scorpion exhaust through Roxstar rather than through a parallel importer or direct UK retail order changes three things for the South African buyer.
Genuine UK-built product with full provenance
Every Scorpion exhaust supplied by Roxstar is genuine factory product hand-built in the Derbyshire workshop and shipped through the established Scorpion supply chain. That sourcing route ensures the exhaust arriving in Cape Town carries the full Scorpion lifetime guarantee and crash damage provision. Parallel imports — Scorpion exhausts purchased from third-party UK retailers and forwarded into South Africa — typically lose access to the Scorpion warranty network because the warranty applies through Scorpion’s authorised distribution channels.
For an exhaust priced in the upper bracket of the aftermarket market, with a lifetime guarantee as one of its core value propositions, sourcing route matters. The lifetime guarantee on a parallel-imported Scorpion is a guarantee with no enforcement path.
Confirmed fitment before any order ships
Roxstar’s standard process verifies the exact Scorpion part number against the buyer’s motorcycle make, model, and year before the order is placed. That verification step removes the most common failure mode of importing premium exhausts directly from the UK — receiving a silencer that does not fit because the year-specific exhaust geometry, mounting bracket configuration, or sub-variant differences were missed in the product listing.
Scorpion’s catalogue depth (1,500+ items) is part of the brand’s value, but it is also the source of most fitment mistakes. The Serket Taper for a 2014–2019 Yamaha MT-09 is not the same Serket Taper for a 2020–onwards MT-09. Roxstar’s fitment confirmation catches the year-variant differences before any payment is made.
Realistic delivery expectations
Scorpion exhausts are hand-built to order in Derbyshire. For systems Roxstar holds in Cape Town stock — typically the high-volume slip-on silencers for popular SA platforms such as the Yamaha MT-07, BMW S1000RR, Kawasaki Z900, and Triumph Speed Triple — delivery to most South African provinces takes between two and five working days. For systems ordered in from Scorpion, total lead time including UK manufacturing time and freight is typically four to six weeks.
The four-to-six-week lead time on ordered-in systems is not a freight delay — it is the genuine hand-build time at the Derbyshire workshop. Roxstar confirms current build and delivery time at the quoting stage so the buyer can plan installation around a known date rather than discover the lead time after payment.
Cape Town fitment and nationwide delivery
Roxstar ships Scorpion exhausts to all South African provinces. For Cape Town riders, fitment can be arranged through Roxstar’s network of trusted motorcycle workshops. Riders elsewhere in South Africa typically use their preferred local motorcycle workshop, with Roxstar providing fitment documentation and any technical clarification the workshop requires.
Scorpion's Build Standards and Warranty Provisions
Three quality and warranty markers sit behind every Scorpion motorcycle exhaust.
Hand-built by Scorpion automotive engineers in Derbyshire
Every Scorpion exhaust is hand-formed and hand-welded by Scorpion automotive engineers at the Ripley workshop, with each component checked by quality control technicians before despatch. Scorpion publishes the warning that “additional manufacturing delays may apply” because the production model is genuinely hand-build to order, not pick-from-stock. For the buyer, that hand-build process is the source of the build quality the brand warrants for the lifetime of the exhaust.
Lifetime guarantee against manufacturing defect and corrosion
Scorpion warrants every motorcycle exhaust for the lifetime of the original buyer against manufacturing defect and corrosion of stainless and titanium components under normal use. The lifetime guarantee is one of several quality markers behind the brand and reflects Scorpion’s confidence in its hand-build production model and aerospace-grade material specification.
Crash and impact damage replacement at 50 percent of retail price
Scorpion’s crash and impact damage guarantee allows replacement of a damaged exhaust at 50 percent of the original retail price, subject to published terms and conditions. The provision is unusual in the aftermarket exhaust market and reflects the practical reality that motorcycle exhausts can be damaged in low-speed drops or impacts that have nothing to do with the exhaust’s manufacturing quality. For a rider replacing an accidentally dropped exhaust, the 50 percent replacement provision is a meaningful financial difference.
How Does Scorpion Compare to Other Premium Exhaust Brands?
Roxstar supplies Scorpion alongside several other premium aftermarket exhaust brands. An honest comparison helps a rider choose the right brand for the build rather than the most heavily marketed one.
Scorpion vs Dominator
Dominator is Roxstar’s premium European exhaust brand, manufactured in Poland, with the broadest fitment coverage across the Roxstar catalogue. Dominator and Scorpion occupy a similar premium price band and a broadly comparable engineering quality position, with the choice between them usually coming down to acoustic preference and specific platform fit.
Scorpion runs a more refined, road-tuned acoustic character — particularly in the Stealth range — while Dominator runs deeper and more aggressive across most of its silencers. Scorpion’s lifetime guarantee is longer than Dominator’s 5-year warranty, although both warranties are substantial by aftermarket standards. For naked bikes, sportbikes, and adventure platforms, both brands deliver excellent results — the choice often comes down to which silencer style the rider prefers visually and which brand’s fitment list better matches the specific motorcycle.
Scorpion vs Brock’s Performance
Brock’s Performance is Roxstar’s premium American exhaust brand, with engineering pedigree built around high-output sportbikes (Suzuki Hayabusa, Kawasaki ZX-14R, BMW S1000RR). Scorpion and Brock’s serve overlapping but distinctly different segments. Brock’s engineering brief is maximum dyno-validated power output on high-output sportbikes, with the trade-off that Brock’s exhausts typically run louder than Scorpion’s and more often require fuel management adjustment. Scorpion’s brief is performance gain within OEM fuelling tolerances across a much broader motorcycle range.
For a Hayabusa or ZX-14R buyer chasing maximum verified horsepower, Brock’s is the correct selection. For a rider on a Yamaha MT-09, Triumph Speed Triple, Kawasaki Z900, BMW S1000RR, or any of the broader sportbike and naked bike platforms — and for any rider who values road-usable sound character and lifetime warranty — Scorpion is the stronger fit.
Scorpion vs Akrapovič
Akrapovič is the Slovenian premium exhaust brand widely used as factory original equipment by several premium motorcycle manufacturers. Scorpion and Akrapovič compete most directly at the premium British and European sportbike level, with both brands offering hand-build engineering, premium materials, and broad fitment lists. Akrapovič typically sits at a higher price point than Scorpion for equivalent material specification, and Akrapovič’s brand presence in motorsport is more visible. Scorpion’s positioning is comparable engineering quality at a more accessible price, with the additional lifetime guarantee and crash damage provisions that Akrapovič does not match.
Akrapovič is not currently stocked through Roxstar, so direct comparison is academic for the South African buyer — riders choosing Akrapovič route through other channels with the corresponding fitment and freight challenges.
When to choose Scorpion
Scorpion is the strongest match for South African riders who want British hand-build engineering with broad fitment coverage, a road-tuned acoustic character that does not require fuel management adjustment, and the longest combined warranty package in the aftermarket exhaust segment. Scorpion’s value sits in the combination of those four factors — hand-build provenance, broad fitment, accommodating engineering brief, and the lifetime guarantee — rather than in any single one.
Common Questions About Scorpion Exhausts in South Africa
Will fitting a Scorpion exhaust require fuel management adjustment?
For most Scorpion slip-on silencers and half systems, fuel management adjustment is not required. Scorpion engineers its motorcycle exhausts to deliver performance gain within the original equipment fuelling tolerances, which means the bike’s stock engine management map continues to work correctly after fitment. For full systems on some platforms, particularly where the catalytic converter is removed, fuel management adjustment is recommended. Roxstar advises on the appropriate approach for each specific bike at quoting stage.
How much horsepower does a Scorpion exhaust add?
Scorpion publishes a 5 to 10 percent power and torque improvement figure across most motorcycle platforms. On a 100-horsepower naked bike, that translates into a 5 to 10 horsepower gain at the rear wheel. The exact figure depends on the bike, the specific Scorpion system (slip-on, half, or full), and whether supporting modifications are fitted. Slip-ons typically deliver gains at the lower end of the range, full systems at the upper end.
Does Scorpion's lifetime guarantee apply in South Africa?
The Scorpion lifetime guarantee applies to genuine Scorpion exhausts purchased through the brand’s authorised distribution channels. Scorpion exhausts supplied by Roxstar are sourced through that authorised channel, which means the guarantee applies in full. Parallel-imported Scorpion exhausts (purchased from third-party UK retailers and forwarded into South Africa) typically lose access to warranty enforcement.
How loud is a Scorpion exhaust?
Sound output varies by silencer style. The Stealth produces the most refined, lowest-volume tone in the Scorpion range and is the closest match to original equipment sound levels. The Serket Taper and Power Cone produce a moderate increase over stock — louder and more aggressive but still comfortably road-usable. The RP1-GP and Predator produce the most aggressive Scorpion tone, with noticeable volume increase over stock. All Scorpion silencers ship with a removable baffle that allows the rider to adjust noise output for road versus track use.
How long does Scorpion delivery take to South Africa?
For Scorpion systems Roxstar holds in Cape Town stock, delivery to most South African provinces takes two to five working days. For systems ordered in from Scorpion, total lead time including UK hand-build manufacturing and freight is typically four to six weeks. The build time is genuine — each exhaust is hand-built to order in Derbyshire — and Roxstar confirms current lead times at quoting stage.
Will fitting a Scorpion exhaust void my motorcycle warranty?
A new motorcycle’s manufacturer warranty may be affected by aftermarket exhaust fitment, depending on the dealer and the specific terms of the warranty agreement. Roxstar recommends checking with your motorcycle dealer before fitting any aftermarket exhaust to a bike still under factory warranty. Slip-on silencer fitment is treated more leniently by most South African dealers than full-system replacement.
What is the difference between Serket Taper and Serket Parallel?
Both Serket silencers use the same engineering DNA, materials, and acoustic philosophy. The difference is body shape — Serket Taper has a tapered profile with a smaller outlet diameter than inlet, while Serket Parallel has a parallel-sided body with consistent diameter throughout. The Taper produces a slightly sharper acoustic profile and a more compact visual presence. The Parallel produces a deeper mid-range tone and a fuller visual mass. Both are available across most major motorcycle fitments.
