Muzzys - Written by Keith Fudge

Since 1987, the name of Muzzys has been synonymous with motorcycle performance. Located in Bend, Oregon, Muzzys Performance Products has almost everything imaginable to enhance the performance of your cruiser, dirt bike, racing bike, or ATV. Recently, Corbin’s Ride On host Brian Jackson had a chance to tour Muzzy’s, factory, and to speak to company founder and owner, Rob Muzzy. Rob told us about Muzzys accessories, how they are produced, and gave us a little bit about the company’s history and achievements in the motorcycle performance industry. Rob said that although the company is known for its high performance exhaust systems, there are plenty more accessories such as big bore kits, cams, pistons, and even crate motors! Muzzys also carries products from other vendors as well such as speed limiters, and they offer a variety of their own apparel and promotional gear as well.

Concerning their exhaust systems, Rob told us that they are available in a variety of materials and finishes such as chrome, stainless steel, and even titanium. In fact, in 1990, Muzzys was the first company to manufacture a production level titanium exhaust system, and by producing it at a large volume they were able to reduce the standard industry price from approximately $2,500 down to $600-$700. That’s quite a savings that is passed on to each customer! All manufacturing and polishing is done for Muzzys exhaust systems is completed at their site, and as Rob told us the quality of their efforts is what sets Muzzys apart from the competition. In fact, he also pointed out that a great advantage in the use of stainless steel is because of its corrosion resistant nature and that it is so easy to clean!
Currently, Muzzys offers a good selection of ATV pipes, two-into-one cruiser pipes that enhance mid-range performance, and dirt bike pipes available in a variety of finishes.

While we were there, we also got a tour of the prototype department where all the dyno tests are performed, and we were even fortunate enough to have a “sneak-peek” at Muzzys NHRA Pro Stock bike that will run a ZX12 liquid-cooled engine--the first time this type of engine has been run in this competition. Trust us, we can’t wait to see the results!

Finally, Rob told us a bit about the future for Muzzys by saying that they would continue to expand their market in the performance field for ATV, Off-Road, and cruiser markets. As it says on their website, Muzzys goal is “to share with the consumer those high quality products that we develop and use in our championship racing efforts.” We have no doubt consumers everywhere will be impressed by the quality and commitment to excellence that Muzzys products bring to their bikes.
