The exhaust systems feature three electronically adjustable sound modes

Each exhaust system offers three distinct sound profiles – Dr. Jekill, Dynamic and Mr. Hyde – allowing riders to alter the character of the exhaust note at the press of a button. The system can be adjusted on the move and works via a control unit that communicates with the motorcycle's ECU, regulating a butterfly valve within the exhaust system.

According to Dr. Jekill & Mr. Hyde, all three modes remain compliant with European noise regulations, with the system automatically operating within the legal limits set for the motorcycle.

Indian says dealerships across the EMEA region will stock a full range of compatible exhaust systems, with staff training and technical support included as part of the partnership. The agreement covers Indian Motorcycle's current lineup, while also supporting models dating back to 2014 and future motorcycles introduced by the brand.
