Un kit cylindre garantissant un très bon rapport “prix/performances” à pandit prix. Le cylindre Sport pro est un kit 70cc en aluminium robuste permandtant une utilisation quotidienne. Sa sortie d’échappement en forme de trapèze and ses *temps de diagramme* assez bas lui donne beaucoup de couple and une bonne accélération.

port timing

This is a 2-stroke engine so much of its performance is determined by the shape of the ports. In particular, the positions of the top and bottom of the ports determines at which point in the cycle they open and close. The longer they are open, the more power at high revs. but you get less power at low revs. (and therefore less torque) as there is time for the gasses to leak in the wrong directions.

This cylinder has fairly mild port timings for higher torque (but less ultimate power).

Tout d’abord, définissons le terme de « diagramme » : c’est l'angle de rotation du vilebrequin pendant lequel s'effectue une phase du cycle moteur. Exemple: ouverture puis fermeture de la lumière d'échappement.

agree philgoddard : That's extremely helpful. Could it be "crank angle timings", do you think?
