The "big" two-stroke engine was newly developed in 2017 and is used on the 250 and 300. The electric starter is now no longer "flange-mounted" but compactly integrated. The 250 engine remains true to its line and has increased over the entire rev range. The bike offers a high degree of perfection and in expert hands is an unbeatable and indestructible winning machine. Strong enough for professionals! 300cc for the fast fraction not really necessary. Great plus in riding comfort thanks to the new balance shaft: significantly less vibration!
