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
- electric start button (RHS handlebar) activates the entire electrical system
- kill switch (LHS handlebar), if held for a few seconds, shuts down entire electrical system
-
Lightweight titanium valves and optimized valve springs.
- titanium valves reduce reciprocating weight and allow for a higher rpm limit before valve float
- titanium valves means a fast-revving engine with smooth power delivery
- 31 mm titanium intake valves and 25 mm titanium exhaust valves
-

- excellent heat dissipation for consistent power delivery
- coating enhances the thin film of oil between cylinder and piston, reducing friction and increasing power
-
Cylinder and crankcase "cutaways" allow air "trapped" under the piston to enter special chambers or cutaways.

- no tools required to access air filter
- washable foam filter reduces tune up costs
-
Wet sump lubrication system.
- reduces weight (no remote oil tank or oil lines)

- provides precise ignition timing / mapping for optimum engine performance at all rpms
-
High-capacity AC magneto eliminates need for a battery.
-
Wrap-around exhaust system to match head, cam and intake.

- wrap-around design ensures the optimum tuned header length
- maximizes exhaust "pulse effect" for excellent power delivery
- centralizes mass by moving weight closer to the centre of the chassis
-
Lightweight, aluminum, re-packable muffler (aka silencer).
- sound output is 94 dB meeting AMA regulations
