Design Piaggio original cylinder 180cc
The original Piaggio 180cc cylinder is a 176cc aluminum cylinder with oval exhaust port and hard chrome coating for optimum heat dissipation and durability. The layout is very similar to the Malossi tuning cylinder (172cc) and even has 4cc more displacement than the Malossi cylinder due to the slightly larger bore. The port timings are a little tamer (approx. 10° at the exhaust) which gives it even more torque. This is why the original Piaggio cylinder is often used and machined for many tuning projects. The quality is outstanding.
OEM Ref. Piaggio: 487638 / 487636 / 479656 / 485036

Aluminium cylinders
Aluminium cylinders are more powerful than cast iron cylinders, but require more regular maintenance and must be combined with different components such as a reinforced crankshaft and a larger carburetor.
