TUNING ROAD – for everyday use

For race use only. Not admitted in the area of the German StVZO! Product description
The APE belongs to Italy, like tuning to Vespa. Originally designed for the APE load-pulling trike, this DR cylinder also fits all 50cc Vespas. This powerful cylinder is distinguished by an independent layout with squared outlet and more relaxed port timings. Torque from low revolutions, ideal for making good time on the road. With this cylinder, however, the transmission must be adjusted. The DR racing cylinder scores more with its torque and power from low down than with revs. In addition, all DR cylinders are painted black for protection against corrosion and for better dissipation of heat. Anyone who would like a bit more can modify the outlet and give it a more trapezoid shape.
Conclusion:
Ideal cylinder for relaxed cruising, high torque for 2-person use, suitable for long routes at full throttle. The primary should always be adjusted, however.
