Two new Malossi Cylinder vor Vespa 200cc

1983:
The Malossi aluminum cylinder with 68,5 mm diameter for Vespa 200 – turning point in Vespa tuning – was born. Made of Nicasil aluminum, with super light piston and 1.2 mm semi trapezoidal rings, it becomes a legend, a real must-have for all Vespa fans.

2008:
The Malossi Vespa cylinder is updated, by adding the head with hemispherical combustion chamber and central spark plug.

2013:
The cylinder, always made of Nicasil aluminum, has been completely changed concerning both main and rear ports and exhaust port as well. Exhaust port will be available in

Two versions:
- SPORT: Art. 3115618
- MHR: Art. 3115567

MHR version is different from SPORT version also due to the port map with racing features.
The perfect centering between head and cylinder is guaranteed by two centering bushes located on two stud bolts, while the o-ring ensures a perfect seal.

From what I have seen, the boost port has been enlarged in pic I seen. As for the rest I'll need to have a look at closely, but as far as I can make out , all ports n transfers have been altered. It's got to be a good thing , I'd be interested in getting 1 without that shite head

It would seem that the Sport is the more touring orientated version and does not require crankcase matching!
Hey remember that old chestnut?
