Description
Moped variator Variotop from Malossi
Famous Malossi Variator Variotop Peugeot 103 SP / MV (without clutch function), the ultimate when it comes to moped variation.
This variator is used and recommended by top racing teams all over the world. Without any doubt one of the best variators for this type of two-wheeler. Everything about it is high quality - the materials, the workmanship and of course the engineering behind it as can be seen in the perfect calculation of its angles and in its perfect balancing. It is one of the few variators that is not too light, so it can keep sufficient inertia at high speeds.
Available in several versions, with or without clutch function (the option to mount and use a clutch, depending on the type of moped it is intended for).
This version has no clutch function.
scooter CVT
Modern scooters are equipped with a continuously variable transmission, the so-called CVT, also called variator.
CVT Parts:
- Front pulley, movable. It contains the variator weights and has a special shape with an inclined surface to allow the V-belt to move freely up and down.
- Ramp plate: Holds the weights in place.
- Variator sleeve: Serves as a bearing for the variator, which moves axially back and forth, i.e., opens and closes.
- CVT roller weights: Adjustment weights that play a critical role in function and performance.
original, Sport and Oversize CVTs
- Original: Original or OEM quality CVTs are equipped with a restrictor to limit the speed to 45km/h. There are riders who remove the restrictor to derestrict their scooter and unleash the full performance without restrictions.
- Sport: Sport CVTs are lighter than the original and are characterized by special angles and a special coating, which increases the top speed, but especially acceleration.
- Oversize: Based on the same principle as the Sport CVT, but has larger dimensions. With an oversize / overrange vario, the performance of the scooter can be increased even further.
You should also always replace the V-belt when replacing the CVT or go for a complete CVT kit.
