Who it's perfect for

For those with a 2024 or newer BMW F 800 GS or F 900 GS, including the GS Adventure version, who want to enter the Indy Race EVO range without paying for titanium. It is the most accessible of the four and carries the same ECE marking as the others: same shape, same dimensions, same mounting on stock headers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Arrow 72653AON homologated?
Yes. On the Arrow catalog model pages, this code has the ECE HOMOL. marking, and on the mounting diagram, it appears in the table of homologated exhausts along with the 72653PO. It can be used on the road and presented for inspection, provided the db-killer is kept in place.

Which BMWs does it fit?
On the F 800 GS and F 900 GS, also in the GS Adventure version, from the 2024-2026 series. Arrow identifies both with the same vehicle type MG90, and the same code appears on both pages of the official catalog.

What is the difference with the 72653AKN?
Only the end cap changes: on the 72653AON it is stainless steel, on the 72653AKN it is carbon fiber. The body is "Dark" aluminum on both, the dimensions are identical, and the stainless steel end cap weighs a bit less: 2.40 vs 2.53 kg.

Do I also need to change the headers?
No. The Arrow diagram declares all components interchangeable with the original ones, and the connecting mid-pipe is already included: the exhaust mounts to the stock system without any other purchases. For these motorcycles, Arrow does not offer dedicated headers.

What are its dimensions and weight?
Arrow declares a body length of 350 mm, with an inlet diameter of 52 mm and an outlet of 45 mm, for a weight of 2.40 kg. It attaches to the frame with a welded mount. There is no provision for either a lambda sensor or a CO sensor.

Can I combine it with the 71776MI mid-pipe?
Mechanically, yes, but that central mid-pipe is marked Racing by Arrow and is not homologated: installing it will make the motorcycle not street legal and it will not pass inspection. Those who want to remain legal keep the original central section and only change the exhaust.
