The Dr. Jekill & Mr. Hyde Brand Story: The Right Sound for Every Moment
Founded in 1997, the Dutch brand has become a benchmark in motorcycle exhaust systems.
Dr. Jekill & Mr. Hyde is renowned for its innovative technology that allows you to easily switch between different types of sound at the touch of a button. Inspired by Robert Louis Stevenson's classic novel “The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde”, the brand's name reflects the two opposing personalities of its exhausts: quiet and discreet like Dr. Jekill, and loud and untamed like Mr. Hyde.
The First Steps
It all started in 1995, during the famous MotoGP TT event in Assen, the Netherlands. At a time when motorcycles, especially Harley-Davidson bikes, used drag pipes, excessive noise became a problem, especially in groups. The need led to the creation of an innovative exhaust that could alternate between a discreet sound and a powerful roar.
In 1997, in Belfeld's garage, the Dr. Jekill & Mr. Hyde brand was officially born, initially dedicated to the handmade manufacture of custom exhausts for motorcycles and cars.
Legality and International Recognition
One of the most important milestones occurred in 2010, when Dr. Jekill & Mr. Hyde obtained European Type Approval, guaranteeing that its systems met the strict legal standards of the European Union. This step allowed the brand to expand rapidly and focus on sales through official dealers rather than direct sales to the end consumer.
With this legal approval, Dr. Jekill & Mr. Hyde established offices in Germany, Switzerland, France and Canada, and representatives in countries such as Japan, Singapore, South Africa and the Czech Republic, becoming a globally recognized name.
Expansion of the Product Range
Initially focused on Harley-Davidson, the brand quickly expanded its range to include other prestigious brands such as BMW, Indian, Triumph, Honda and KTM. Each exhaust maintains the brand's characteristic innovation and quality, allowing riders a personalized riding experience, adapted to their preferences and specific environments.
Innovative Technology
Dr. Jekill & Mr. Hyde systems stand out for their use of adjustable electronic valves that offer three distinct modes:
- Dr. Jekill (silent): Ideal for quiet, urban environments.
- Dynamic (dynamic): A perfect balance between discretion and power.
- Mr. Hyde (rumbling): The ideal mode for those looking for an intense and powerful sound.
This technological innovation not only provides a distinctive experience, but also guarantees compliance with the latest European environmental standards, including EURO certification.
