• Power for demanding applications: The V-Twin configuration provides enhanced torque and output, ideal for rigorous operating conditions.
• Vibration-free operation: optimized internal components minimize vibration,reducing fatigue for both operators and machinery.
• Versatile power source: A reliable choice for a broad spectrum of utility,commercial,and specialized vehicles.
• Durable & efficient: Engineered for longevity and fuel efficiency, substantially lowering overall operating costs.

• Exceptional Balance
  A lightweight piston and ring assembly combined with a dynamically balanced crankshaft significantly reduce vibration and enhance durability at high temperatures.
• V-Twin OHV Engineering
  The overhead valve design optimizes airflow and combustion efficiency, while the V-Twin structure boosts power delivery and lifespan.
• Efficient Head Design
  Angled intake ports improve air-fuel mixing, leading to better combustion, lower emissions, smoother idling, and increased power output per cycle.
• Robust Durability
  The sturdy engine block and cast iron sleeve are built to resist wear, ensuring effective lubrication and oil management under heavy loads.
• Compact Form Factor
  The efficient design allows for installation in tight spaces without sacrificing performance.
• Customizable Speed Control
  The ECU accommodates both analog and CAN (0–5V or canbus) signal inputs for tailored speed control integration with OEM systems.
• Effortless Starting
  The magnetron® ignition system and compression release feature simplify starting and extend the life of the starter. Options for solenoid shift and recoil starting are available.
• Prolonged Engine Longevity
  Dual ball bearings and a full-pressure lubrication system with a spin-on oil filter contribute to maintaining engine health over extended service intervals.
