Description
Your Vespa needs more power? As the saying goes: there's no replacement for displacement, so we recommend this Polini 198cc Cylinder for Vespa ET4 / LX 125 - 150cc.
The Nikasil-plated aluminium cylinder is made of superior quality materials and is powerful as well as reliable. The 72mm bore will bring the displacement of your scooter up to 198cc, top speed, torque and general output will be increased.The cylinder can be used with carburetted as well as fuel-injected engines: when used with the latter, an additional Polini CDI Unit ECU will be necessary.
To get the most out of this kit, we recommend using an appropriate exhaust system and variator (Polini Maxi Hi-Speed).

Tuning Level: Racing
We categorize our products into different performance levels Original, Sport, Racing and High End , so that our customers can choose the right parts for their setup. It is really important to combine parts that belong to the same tuning level, this is especially true for cylinders, crankshafts and exhausts.
Racing products are designed for a more extreme uses and are developed primarily for racing. Whether you stay at 50cc or increase the displacement, the corresponding Racing parts produce much higher performance than the original parts in order to achieve maximum power.
Aluminium cylinders
Aluminium cylinders are more powerful than cast iron cylinders, but require more regular maintenance and must be combined with different components such as a reinforced crankshaft and a larger carburetor.
How to run in an aluminium cylinder?
Aluminium cylinders should be run in for about 200 kilometers , and you should use a fully synthetic engine oil.
