Description
Polini is one of the big names in 50cc scooter tuning, and is also one of the leading manufacturers of tuning parts for Vespa, modern and vintage. Cylinders, intake manifolds, exhausts, air filters, carburetors, crankshafts and more - everything you need to boost the performance of your Vespa.
High-end tuning for your Vespa: Polini Evolution 2 135cc, Vespa ET3/PV/PX, d=58mm, 51mm stroke. This aluminium racing cylinder is built to race: lots of power, great torque, top acceleration and mind-blowing speeds, all of it while remaining dependable and durable. The cylinder fits all 125cc Smallframe Vespa models and can be used with original crankshaft; only V50 and similar models require the use of a 51mm crankshaft.
Displacement is 135cc, with 58mm bore. Port timing were calculated for race use, 6 transfer ports, a state-of-the-art Nikasil coating and the special shape of the cylinder head make for optimum performance and excellent discharge of exhaust fumes. The cylinder comes with a chrome-plated low-friction 2-ring piston.
Since this is a high-end racing cylinder, we recommend combining it with a larger carburetor (24mm, 26mm, 28mm or even bigger) to provide sufficient cooling. On top, a good tuning exhaust (for example P200.0400) will help to unlock the tremendous power potential of this engine.

How to Install a cylinder on a scooter, motorcycle or moped
The cylinder or cylinder kit is the heart of the engine on scooters, motorcycles and mopeds. It consists of a cylinder, a piston with piston ring(s), a cylinder head and gaskets needed for installation.
The service life of a cylinder depends on whether it has been fitted correctly.
Tuning Level: Racing
We categorize our products into different performance levels Original, Sport, Racing and High End , so that our customers can choose the right parts for their setup. It is really important to combine parts that belong to the same tuning level, this is especially true for cylinders, crankshafts and exhausts.
Racing products are designed for a more extreme uses and are developed primarily for racing. Whether you stay at 50cc or increase the displacement, the corresponding Racing parts produce much higher performance than the original parts in order to achieve maximum power.
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.
How to run in an aluminium cylinder?
Aluminium cylinders should be run in for about 200 kilometers , and you should use a fully synthetic engine oil.
