Dedicated camshafts
Reduced compression ratio piston
Higher inertia crankshaft and flywheel
42 mm throttle body
Dedicated exhaust
6 speeds gearbox
190 W generator

Reduced compression ratio piston
Piston crown is machined to reduce the compression ratio
12 9 1 EDS vs 13 5 1 MX
Lower compression ration gives a smoother and more round power
delivery
High inertia crankshaft and flywheel
29 5 of rotational inertia respect to the MX engine
A higher inertia guarantees a smoother throttle response during
acceleration and more regularity at low rpm

Enduro specific intake and exhaust
42 mm throttle body
Compared to the 44 mm throttle body used in the MX bike the 42
mm one flatten the throttle curve providing a more homogeneous
performance without sudden peaks in power at high rpm
Moreover it improves the promptness of the throttle response
giving more sensitivity to the rider to better face the toughest
situations
Long primary exhaust
The exhaust was designed with a long primary pipe to increase
torque on all the rpm range without losing high rpm power delivery
