Moving the M.M.X. generation Maico forward with alarming speed, Maico International are pleased to announce that the latest addition to the bikes is an all new factory exhaust pipe and silencer courtesy of H.G.S.

Redesigned using a blank canvas, Maico Internationals Dunlop Maxima rider Neil Berry made his way to the Den Dungen circuit in Holland for testing on Wednesday afternoon before receiving an exclusive invitation to a private sand circuit on Saturday.

Returning to the scene of his first European title where he took victory in the Benelux cup last September Berry arrived at the popular Dutch circuit to pound the dirt and get his first taste of the pipe.

Speaking on Wednesday evening at a local Hotel Berry said, “Given the recent bout of glorious weather we couldn’t have picked a worse day to arrive at Den Dungen but I have to say that the new pipe has transformed what was already an already good motor into an absolute scorcher, with blistering yet smooth acceleration right through the midrange into a substantially faster the top end without loosing any of the bottom end pull and smoothness that the brand is renowned for”.

With meetings arranged in Germany, Berry and Maico International co-Chief Vincent Page Returned to Holland on Saturday at the invitation of a private track owner and spent four hours on a powder like sand track that pushed the baby Maico to its limits.

“Appearing to have had a smile on his face for nearly four days Berry said “This is probably the most gruelling sand I have ever ridden on and we are very grateful to the owner of the venue, who has asked not to be named. We have a stock 250 motor in the bike and I would have no problem pulling up to the gate against any stock 450 four strokes with this baby”.

With yet more products under test and evaluation in the U.K. more news on the 2011 bike is expected soon.
