PINASCO 102 cc aluminum cylinder - exclusive touring cylinder with 6 transfer ports, high thermal reserves and ideal for long distances and 2-person operation.
Anyone looking for something more exclusive in the 102 cc class will quickly end up at PINASCO. The high-quality aluminum cylinder features 6 transfer ports for clean scavenging, an ASSO Piston and a Nicasil coating from the renowned GILARDONI foundry. The Cylinder is significantly less thermally sensitive than many comparable kits and is therefore particularly suitable for long full-throttle stages and for use with a pillion. On the performance side, it is more down-to-earth compared to POLINI and MALOSSI, but it impresses with its high stability and suitability for touring. An additional coating of matt black thermal paint can further improve heat dissipation.
- Exclusive aluminum cylinder with 6 transfer ports and ASSO Piston.
- Nicasil coating and production at GILARDONI for a long service life.
- Thermally very robust, ideal for long distances and 2-person operation.
- Touring-oriented power delivery with a focus on durability instead of peak performance.
Technically, it is an aluminum cylinder with a 55 mm bore, 43 mm stroke and a total of 102.16 cc. The 6 transfer ports are each divided into two side ports and a large, two-part boost port. The Piston has two rings and a flat piston crown, the exhaust is bolted with 6 mm Studs. The scope of delivery includes the original PINASCO Cylinder Head and a complete Gasket Set. The jetting needs to be adapted; the Cylinder fits all Vespa 50/PK/XL/XL2 Models (except PK automatic), the transfer ports are similar to the original ports - case machining is possible, but not absolutely necessary.
Conclusion: Touring recommendation for the "from 100 cc" class - flawless workmanship, high-quality aluminum cylinder and one of the most reliable options for long full throttle passages, provided that the Ignition, carburetor tuning and primary ratio are selected appropriately.
