Description
Famous Big Bore cylinder by tuning expert Malossi: Malossi Cylinder Kit MHR Team Testa Rossa 70cc for Piaggio LC (Piaggio NRG / Zip SP2), the one with the red head (cylinder head cover).
The Testa Rossa is based on the MHR Team II, with 7 transfer ports, 1-ring piston and divided (bridged) exhaust port. One of its strong points is the modified exhaust port design with thin bridge and large exhaust surface. The cylinder head is divided (modular) and is topped by the eye-catching anodized red cylinder head cover.
Unlike the flange-mount version which is only compatible with Malossi's racing crankcases, this version is mounted via stud bolts and can be used with standard engines and cases (as well as with the C-One). There's some milling to be done, however; instructions are in the manual.
In raw numbers, the Testa Rossa is quite the beast - 22hp without any modifications. It needs a matching set-up, though - high-end exhaust, racing ignition, large carburetor (28mm) etc. Skilled tuners will be able to get 26hp out of this phenomenal kit.

- 7 transfer ports

Malossi Testa Rossa
The Testa Rossa is the latest generation of high-end cylinders from Malossi. The series is the successor to the famous MHR Team, which has long been a reference for scooter tuning and racing. As the name Testa Rossa suggests, the cylinder head is red, which could possibly be interpreted as a small allusion to another famous Italian brand.
The Testa Rossa cylinders represent the state of the art and are extremely powerful. The cylinders were originally introduced with the C-One and RC-One crankcases, but are also compatible with original crankcases, provided they can be machined to fit the new components.
Main features of Testa Rossa cylinders
- 7 transfer ports
- Bridged exhaust
- 1-ring piston
- Two-piece cylinder head with special combustion chamber (improved water volume)
To ensure reliability and top performance, the Testa Rossa must be used with the appropriate tuning components and re-adjusted: reinforced crankshaft (racing or high-end), a suitable tuning exhaust and a larger carburetor and intake.
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.
