Double Dog Moto and Ama Pro Emerson Connor

We were ‘stoked’ with our first official outing in the US National AMA series at Daytona.
 
In his first AMA race event, young Canadian racer Emerson Connor finished a solid 4th aboard the Ducshop Racing 848EVO in SuperSport race 2, after starting from 10th on the grid.
 
Emerson said: “The bike was able to change direction much quicker now that the weight is not under the seat and the pull from the bottom end was unbelievable - I really like the look of the pipe and from the fans' response at the track I think they really liked it - they all thought it was something from MotoGP.”
 
The Ducshop Racing 848EVO was fitted with the Double Dog Moto 135DD Titanium exhaust after Mark Sutton at Ducshop was attracted to the benefits of moving a lot of the exhaust system weight down and forward from the typical Ducati under seat can location.

Said Mark Sutton, “We were very happy with the dyno results from the Double Dog exhaust, particularly through the midrange, but we thought it would really improve weight distribution more than anything. During testing and racing Emerson loved the improved handling with a lighter feel and faster turning. When we weren’t riding the “A” bike we displayed it and it got a lot of attention, everyone was saying “what is the crazy pipe on your bike”? A hundred people must have taken pictures of it!”
 
Known for our highly specialized carbon fiber monocoque tail units and ‘expansion chamber’ exhaust systems, among other ‘engineering exotica’, Double Dog Moto recently secured AMA homologation for our unique exhausts and structural Composite eXoskeleton
monocoque tail units, and the Ducshop Racing 848EVO is the first to make the switch.
 
Double Dog Moto President and Chief Engineer, Mark Henry noted: “We are very proud of Emerson’s achievement at Daytona. He showed enormous talent in that competitive field at just 16 years of age. It was also exciting for us to see our 135DD exhaust system in action at one of the world’s great tracks. This is our first season with AMA homologation for our exhausts and Composite eXoskeleton
monocoque tails. It’s early days of course, but we think you’ll be seeing a lot more Double Dog action as other teams finish their testing and switch to our products. We’re looking forward to a long involvement in racing at the National and International levels, but AMA is special to us, because this is where we love to live, work and race!”
