How It Works

One exhaust, three sound characters, switched from your handlebar at the push of a button.

Dr. Jekill and Mr. Hyde exhaust valve

Valve closed. Quiet and refined.

The Core Of The System

The Valve

The valve is the heart of every Dr. Jekill & Mr. Hyde® exhaust. Electronically controlled, it moves between three positions to change the sound character at the push of a button.

Milled From Solid Metal

Machined from a single block to resist deformation and absorb vibration, for a more stable system and a cleaner sound.

Fully Sealed

The only exhaust manufacturer with a fully sealed valve, welded for a controlled bypass that balances sound, performance and emissions.

Nickel Plated Steel

Chemical nickel plating penetrates the steel for greater hardness and improved corrosion resistance.

Built For Heat

A double layered housing with a ball joint keeps resistance low, so the valve operates smoothly as temperatures rise.

The Exhaust

Engineered For Your Bike

A Look Inside The Exhaust

Every Dr. Jekill & Mr. Hyde® exhaust is engineered for the bike it is built for, through simulation, prototyping and precision tuning. Inside, the Modeswitch, Smartbox, servomotors and valve work together so the sound adapts to the road, the environment and the way you ride.

From Handlebar To Valve

Parts & Placement

Four precision components work together to control sound, response and rider interaction. Here is where each one sits on the bike.

The System

  1. Modeswitch

    The handlebar button that selects your sound mode.

  2. Smartbox

    The control unit that reads your bike's signals and manages the response.

  3. Servomotor

    Moves the valve into position with precision.

  4. Valve

    Changes the gas flow inside the exhaust to shape the sound.

Inside The Controls

The Components

Press the button and three components go to work, from your handlebar to the valve inside the exhaust.

Modeswitch mounted on a motorcycle handlebar

On The Handlebar

Modeswitch

Direct control of the exhaust character from your handlebar. One push adjusts the valve to change the sound mode. Built for everyday use, it is weather resistant with a red indicator light when active.

Smartbox electronic control unit

The Electronics

Smartbox

The control unit at the heart of the system. It reads CAN bus signals from the bike's ECU in real time and manages how the selected mode works with the bike's operating parameters, so the system reacts smoothly and within its intended limits.

Servomotors for the Dr. Jekill and Mr. Hyde exhaust system

The Muscle

Servomotors

On the Smartbox's signal, dual cable servomotors move the valve precisely between closed Dr. Jekill, 50% open Dynamic and open Mr. Hyde. Heavy duty cables and a fully waterproof seal keep adjustment strong, reliable and durable.
