Even though they appear to have a lot of space under the body, why do sport bikes and other fast bikes have small exhaust pipes?

It's normal for new license holders or inexperienced riders to not know much about motorcycles, and even experienced riders may not know everything there is to know about them. Even seasoned riders, nevertheless, occasionally have queries for which they lack the necessary knowledge. Learning more about motorcycles can result in financial savings and a greater love of the sport. Let's find out more about the short exhaust pipes that are frequently observed under the body recently.

Performance from 4-stroke engines depends on the exhaust pipe's length (also known as the tubing length). Catalytic converters and sizable mufflers are furthermore necessary because to the latest tight emissions and noise laws.

The development of mufflers with a sizable chamber under the engine allowed for this to be accommodated in bikes with constrained space. Although they seem little, they have a complex internal construction that creates the required tube length.

Due to internal partitions, the muffler (chamber) is quite heavy, but by putting it under the engine, the weight distribution may be centred, improving handling.

Because of the advancement of technology, the engine has become more compact, making it possible to locate the muffler and silencer under the body.
