Cylinder base spacer DN Performance MHR Team II Minarelli 5mm

Malossi MHR

The MHR series from Malossi is generally available in 3 categories for the most popular models:

• MHR Replica
• MHR Racing
• MHR Team

The 3 model series differ in terms of performance and competitiveness. The MHR Team series includes the top-of-the-line  models with outstanding performance for racing. The MHR Racing is in the middle, and the MHR Replica adopts the basic features of the higher versions, with the emphasis on reliability for everyday use rather than maximum performance for the race track.

Cylinder spacer

Cylinder spacers should only be used by experienced tuners who have enough know-how to understand the complex workings of an engine and implement the corresponding measures.

What is the benefit of a cylinder spacer?

A cylinder spacer may be necessary if you are using a long-stroke crankshaft, as the piston rises higher in the cylinder to increase displacement.

With a 2-stroke engine, however, you cannot simply raise the cylinder. Raising the cylinder will also increase port timingd, which will completely change engine behavior; it can also result in a significant loss of power at low engine speeds.

If you want to use a spacer, make sure that the crankshaft, connecting rod and cylinder are designed for it or are compatible.

Note: Cylinder spacers vary from engine to engine. Their thickness must be matched to the crankshaft and cylinder. Please also remember to order cylinder studs in the correct length.
