The Stage 1 was specifically developed for riders who prefer to retain the factory exhaust system, preserving the quiet, refined ride while delivering a substantial increase in performance. It's the perfect choice for long-distance trail riders who value comfort just as much as horsepower. Better Fuel Economy More power doesn't necessarily mean higher fuel consumption. Our optimized calibration improves engine efficiency during normal trail riding, and many riders experience better fuel economy than the factory tune thanks to more efficient fuel and ignition mapping.
