The MVT Digital Direct ignition is the brand's top model, with extreme performance, agile engine and optimum response at all engine speeds thanks to a lightweight internal rotor and CDI with variable ignition timing. Bonus: the ignition has a 12V output for lights / on-board electronics!

The DD internal rotor ignition has a digital CDI with variable ignition timing adjustment, i.e. the ignition timing adapts to the engine speed and is therefore ideally suited for tuned engines. In this way, you always get the best ratio between torque and maximum power, regardless of RPM.

Advantages of MVT Digital Direct

Digital internal rotor ignition
With light
Simple adjustment
CDI with variable ignition timing = maximum power at all RPMs

MVT Millenium ignition

The MVT Millenium ignition is the entry-level model from MVT. The Millenium is nonetheless an extremely powerful ignition thanks to its resistance at high engine speeds and the special CDI.

Like the original alternator, it is an analog ignition with an external rotor, but the Millenium can still achieve speeds far above the level of the original ignition. It is also a quality product with a long life expectancy.

ADVANTAGES MVT Millenium

Powerful, inexpensive ignition
With light
Ignition timing with Plug & Play CDI or Digimax module
Max. Speed up to 22000 rpm
Simple installation
Lighter flywheel (better torque)

MVT Premium

The MVT Premium ignition is the mid-range model among the MVT ignitions - a very powerful internal rotor ignition that ensures improved RPM increase.

The biggest difference to the Digital Direct ignition is the CDI. With the Premium, the ignition timing is fixed, with the DD series it is variable. If you want to maximize the engine's power range, you should therefore opt for the Digital Direct internal rotor ignition.

Advantages of MVT Premium Ignition

Internal rotor ignition at an unbeatable price
With light
Simple adjustments
More direct revving up
Optional derestriction to 45 km/h

CDI and coil

The CDI (for Capacitor Discharger Ignition) and the ignition coil are an essential part of the ignition. While the coil is actually just an energy storage device that supplies the ignition spark to the spark plug, the CDI module is a more complex component that controls the engine speed at which the spark should occur. It can therefore have an effect on engine behavior and performance.

Open CDI

Many riders equip their 50cc geared mopeds and scooters with open, i.e. derestricted CDIs. In most cases, the original CDI throttles the maximum achievable engine speed, which significantly reduces performance and top speed.
To remove this rev limiter and thus increase maximum speed, you can install a CDI without a rev limiter instead of the original CDI.

Beware! When using an open CDI, the carburetor must be readjusted, so it is best to order new jets as well.

Programmable CDI

Programmable CDI control units are available for tuned racing engines on 50cc scooters and moorcycles as well as for motocross bikes. These CDIs are designed for more experienced tuners who want to optimize the settings of their two-wheeler as much as possible.
With a programmable CDI, the ignition timing is dynamic so that the spark always jumps at the optimum time at both high and low engine speeds. This leads to a better increase in speed, higher torque and an overall increase in maximum power.

4-stroke engines with fuel injection are equipped with an ECU (Electronic Control Unit), which also controls the fuel injection. When tuning a four-stroke engine with an electronic injection system, a programmable CDI is therefore an absolute must in order to avoid breakdowns and engine damage.

Symptoms of a defective coil or CDI

If these two elements fail, the symptoms are usually very easy to recognize: no spark at the spark plug, so the engine will not start.

It is best to proceed in sequence: First change the spark plug, then the spark plug cap, then the coil and only then consider the CDI or the ignition itself as the source.
