The honda vfr800x crossrunner is one of Honda’s most versatile and capable adventure-touring motorcycles, and it deserves an exhaust upgrade that matches its performance pedigree. At Max Torque Cans, we’ve engineered a premium performance exhaust specifically designed for the Honda VFR800X Crossrunner 2011–2020 (RC60), giving your bike a sharper sound, cleaner lines, and the quality finish it truly deserves. Whether you’re carving through mountain passes or commuting across the city, this exhaust transforms the riding experience from the moment you twist the throttle.
Why Upgrade Your Honda VFR800X Crossrunner Exhaust?
The standard OEM silencer fitted to the honda vfr800x crossrunner does a perfectly adequate job, but “adequate” isn’t really the Max Torque Cans philosophy. Factory exhausts are built to meet a broad range of regulatory and cost requirements, which means they often leave performance and sound quality firmly on the table. Our aftermarket performance exhaust is built with one purpose in mind — to make your honda vfr800x crossrunner sound and perform the way it was always meant to.
Replacing the stock can with a quality aftermarket silencer is one of the most satisfying upgrades you can make to your motorcycle. The difference is immediately noticeable: a deeper, more characterful exhaust note, a reduction in weight compared to the heavy OEM unit, and a visual upgrade that complements the aggressive, purposeful styling of the RC60 chassis. It’s a straightforward modification that delivers real, tangible results every time you ride.
What’s Included with the Honda VFR800X Crossrunner Performance Exhaust Kit
We believe in giving you everything you need to complete the job properly, right out of the box. When you order this exhaust for your honda vfr800x crossrunner, you’ll receive a complete fitting kit that includes the following components:
- 1 x Stainless 304 CNC Mandrel Bent Link Pipe — precision-engineered for optimal gas flow and a perfect OEM-replacement fit
- 1 x Stainless Exhaust Strap — robust, corrosion-resistant, and built to last through all weathers
- 1 x Exhaust Strap Rubber — isolates vibration and protects the strap and mounting points from wear
The link pipe is the heart of this kit. Manufactured from grade 304 stainless steel using CNC mandrel bending technology, it maintains a consistent internal diameter throughout every curve and bend. This matters because unrestricted gas flow means better scavenging, more efficient combustion, and a livelier throttle response on your honda vfr800x crossrunner. There are no pinched bends, no compromises — just clean, smooth flow from header to tail.
Fitment Details for the Honda VFR800X Crossrunner RC60
This exhaust has been designed to fit the honda vfr800x crossrunner 2011 through to 2020, covering the full production run of the RC60 model. The link pipe is engineered to bolt straight onto the standard OEM downpipes without any modification to the frame, headers, or mounting points. This is a direct-replacement, bolt-on solution — no drilling, no cutting, and no fabrication required.
The fitment process is straightforward and can be completed in your garage with basic hand tools. We always recommend allowing the engine and existing exhaust components to cool completely before beginning installation. Once the OEM can and mid-pipe are removed, the new stainless link pipe locates cleanly onto the standard downpipes. Secure with the included exhaust strap and rubber, torque everything to the manufacturer’s specification, and you’re done. The honda vfr800x crossrunner is ready to go.

Build Quality and Materials — Made to Last on the Honda VFR800X Crossrunner
Every exhaust we produce at Max Torque Cans is built to withstand real-world riding conditions on UK roads — and that means rain, road salt, temperature cycling, and everything else the British climate throws at your bike. The grade 304 stainless steel used throughout this honda vfr800x crossrunner exhaust kit is chosen specifically for its outstanding corrosion resistance and high-temperature performance.
Unlike cheaper mild steel alternatives that begin to rust within a single season, stainless 304 maintains its integrity and appearance year after year. The CNC mandrel bending process ensures that every curve is uniform and accurate, eliminating the weak spots and flow restrictions that come with cheaper press-bend manufacturing. The result is an exhaust that looks great, fits perfectly, and keeps on performing ride after ride.
The exhaust strap is equally well considered. Made from stainless steel and paired with a quality rubber isolator, it provides a secure, rattle-free mount while protecting the surrounding bodywork from heat and vibration. It’s the kind of detail that separates a properly engineered aftermarket component from a budget alternative.
