ENGINE

  • Liquid-cooled 250cc four-stroke, DOHC, 4-valve (titanium), single-cylinder engine
    • With fuel injection produces strong mid- to high-range power.
    • Tuned specifically for XC/woods racing with a broad, easy-to-use powerband and excellent power characteristics throughout the rev range.
  • Rearward-slanted, reversed cylinder design.
    • rearward slant moves a significant amount of rotating weight toward the centre of the chassis
    • rearward-slanted cylinder centralizes mass for excellent handling and a light, agile feel
  • "Reversed" engine design (FI system is front-mounted, exhaust exits from rear of cylinder).
    • forward-mounted FI provides straight intake path into the cylinder and provides optimum fuel/ air filling and flow for excellent power
    • front-mounted intake design keeps fuel cooler since engine heat has less effect on incoming fuel (cooler fuel is more dense and increases power)
    • design also helps centralize mass for light, agile handling
  • Electric start with auto decompression system (no kick starter). Unit can be re-started in any gear.
    • there is no main ignition switch on this model
