The intake valves are 26 mm in diameter while the exhaust valves are 22mm. The valve angle is set at 26 degrees to keep the compact combustion chamber

The inertial mass of the crankshaft has been optimized to achieve high torque over a wide rpm range and quicker throttle response.

"Fracture split" connecting rods are case hardened for added strength and use a small nut design. The lower end "cap" of the rod is made of the same room as the top, and this concept is known as the " sharing of fracture ". This design aids establishing true big end roundness and greater precision in the dimensions rod for excellent durability in spite of the high power loads.

Ceramic composite cylinder "holes" are a "liner less" design with the ceramic coating sprayed directly on the aluminum block. This coating improves thin film of oil between the cylinder and piston which reduces friction and increases power. Other key benefits include excellent heat dissipation for consistent power delivery and reduced weight and no heavy liners.

Short skirt, lightweight forged pistons. Aid in designing lightweight rapid response of the engine and reduces engine weight. During the forging process, aluminum is heated to the point where it can be shaped under pressure into a mold, but not so melted. By failing to melt the aluminum, the material is solid and can be easier with excellent durability.
