Three new exhausts out there from Spain by Tecnigas and a new brand (in the scooter scene) called Endy that worked together with French Dam Sport. Read all about it here.
Tecnigas Triops Racing
The Triops Racing (pictured above) is a classic mid race spec (70cc e.g. Stage6 Racing or Sport Pro) exhaust and announced as the so far most powerful Tecnigas exhaust. It features a hand welded body and an aluminum exhaust tip. Parts are held together by feathers as it is knows from all the higher end exhausts. Good news is that it comes with an ECE homologation that allows it to be driven on the road (restrictions applied).
We are looking forward to the first test results (hit me up Tecnigas if you want this covered. Same goes for the other brands). Usually Tecnigas does a pretty good job I wouldn’t expect a high end monster here though. The exhaust is available for all major scooter brands at a regular retail price of 164,80€. Good news is that Streetlights in Germany offers a 10% discount so you can pick yours up at 147€ already.

Tecnigas Q-Tre Sport
Tecnigas Marketing team seems to never get bored and just come up with new silly names whenever they feel like. Well as if that wasn’t enough they also print in on their mufflers or at least that’s what it seems like to me. The Q-Tre is an addition to their popular sport exhausts segment. Given the results of our muffler tests this will also not disappoint (unless Tecnigas did something stupid, what they usually don’t). The exhaust features an ECE homologation with an anodized exhaust tip and the usual cheap machine soldered body. Performance wise I expect high NM on stock engines and a good increase of speed. Available at Streetlights for most models at a ridiculously cheap 80€. They also have a chrome version for a handful $ more…
- 50cc stock
- Silly name
- Good performance on stock engines
- 80€
Dam-Sport Endy
The last of the new exhaust comes from France (even though it’s made in Spain). Dam-Sport created a sport exhaust for stock engines that similar to the Technigas is cheap and can make your scooter go fast. That’s at least what they promise. It remains to be tested as we don’t know much about the brand yet. I think it looks cooler than the Tecnigas and it definitely has a better name. The underground factor is a plus point too for me. However, if you want to be sure that maximum performance is achieved it is probably safer to go with the Tecnigas as our tests have shown that they just perform great on stock engines. The exhaust is advertised as usable on 70cc cast irons as well. I’d say this is probably true but there are most likely better choices for that use case. The Endy is available now from Dam-Sport at 89€ including a ECE homologation and a set of rollers (that’s really cheap btw.).
- Stock engines and 70cc low end
- Looks cool
- Unclear about performance as it is a new brand
- Comes with rollers at 89€

how did the Technigas triops preform in the test?
Hi,
May I pick your brains please. I’ve got a Gilera DNA 50. Since I bought it ( I was told it was still restricted ( it wasn’t ) The washers behind the roller drum had been removed. I replaced the rollers with 6 gm ones, belt fine. Carb cleaned and a 60 main jet fitted. Acceleration fine, but top end is just 35mph ! Compression fine. I bought today, the Tecnigas Q Tre, removed the header pipe restrictor and the huge wad of fibre glass, and it went slower !!! Replaced huge wad of fibre glass, no different. Took a look at the standard exhaust that came with the bike, it still had the header pipe restrictor in…
Removed that, put it back on the bike, runs quicker, but still tops out at 35mph…………
No idea what the problem is, Reed Valves ? Demonic Possession ?
Any idea ?
Regards
Ryan
Hi,
The variator washer should sit before the variator (roller drum), not behind. It prevents the variator from opening completely. Please ensure that this is done. With an new exhaust, lighter rollers need to be fitted. Are you sure that the CDI is not somehow restricting? Usually Piaggio does not ship with rev limiting CDIs, but you never know if it was used…
Best,
Daniel
