Vario weights are a central factor in the tuning of Variomatic scooters and have a significant influence on starting speed, shifting behavior and acceleration. High-quality rollers from POLINI and MALOSSI ensure precise tuning and long-lasting performance.
The vario weights play a central "role" in the tuning of a scooter Variomatic.
In principle, the lighter the roller sets are, the more speed is required to push the rollers outwards by centrifugal force and thus trigger the "shifting process". Heavy rollers, on the other hand, require less speed to set the mechanism in motion. This means that with light castors, the scooter only starts moving at a higher starting speed, whereas with heavy castors, the scooter starts moving at a lower speed.
The preferred starting speed varies from person to person. Of course, it also depends on the degree of tuning, the weight of the rider and other factors as to which weights work best. In view of the many inferior products on the market, we particularly recommend the vario rollers from the renowned manufacturers POLINI and MALOSSI, which are high-quality, durable and attractively priced.
Basically:
Engine type: MINARELLI 15x12, MORINI 17x12, KYMCO / PEUGEOT / HONDA / PIAGGIO / GILERA up to 98 16x13, PIAGGIO / GILERA from 98 19x15.5
Sports variators: POLINI / MALOSSI 16x13, HEBO 17x12, TOP PERFORMANCE 15x12
SIP-TIP:
- By changing the Variator Rollers, each scooter can be tuned very specifically to the respective engine power and the desired application. However, it is important to bear this in mind: The more aggressively the Engine is tuned, the more sensitive the scooter reacts to weight differences in the rollers. Therefore, you should not use weights that vary too much. Precise vario tuning pays off in any case, so that the Engine does not let its power fizzle out unnecessarily in revs or lose traction by switching too early.
