Segment Malossi MHR Replica 50cc diam.40,3x1mm Minarelli AM6

piston ring

Piston rings are sealing elements. They are inserted into the grooves of the piston to ensure sealing between the piston and the cylinder wall. Piston rings vary in size and shape and can be chrome-plated or cast iron, depending on the type of cylinder.

2-stroke piston Ring

The upper ring (often chrome-plated) is fireproof and seals the combustion chamber. The lower ring provides lubrication to the cylinder liner. 1-ring pistons perform both functions, but this results in a shorter service life.

4-stroke piston Rings

The upper ring also has the function of sealing the combustion chamber, while the middle ring collects excess oil and contributes to engine compression. The lower ring, known as the oil scraper ring, prevents engine oil from entering the combustion chamber.

Piston rings play a crucial role in the proper functioning and service life of the cylinder, whether on a motorcycle, scooter or moped.

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.
