DR Evolution Minachrome cast iron cylinder 224cc - robust, high-torque racing cylinder for Vespa Ape 501 / 601 (190 - 220cc) and Vespa Car.

DR Evolution cylinder design
The cylinder has 4 transfer ports and is supplied with a 2-ring piston with 2mm thick heavy duty piston rings. Optimized timing and enlarged transfer ports offer excellent torque and power. Of course, the increase in displacement to 224cc is noticeable through a nice increase in power.
We recommend the use of a performance exhaust. The carburetor settings must be adjusted or use a larger carburetor.
DR recommends the use of an NGK B8HS spark plug.
Note: WITHOUT cylinder head. Can be used with the original cylinder head.

How to Install a cylinder on a scooter, motorcycle or moped
The cylinder or cylinder kit is the heart of the engine on scooters, motorcycles and mopeds. It consists of a cylinder, a piston with piston ring(s), a cylinder head and gaskets needed for installation.
The service life of a cylinder depends on whether it has been fitted correctly.
Tuning Level: Sport
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.
The products listed under Sport yield better performance than Original parts. They may have technical differences, such as the use of higher quality materials, a larger displacement or a performance-enhancing design. They are suitable for everyday use and have a long service life.
