Italian scooter performance specialist Polini is promising "incredible acceleration and never-ending engine power progression" with their new Maxi Hi-Speed Variator for the Peugeot 125.
Featuring the new lubricating system seen on all new Polini Variators, this new Maxi Hi Speed has rollers with improved sliding surfaces thanks to a new polishing treatment, a case-hardened bushing made of special tempered and ground chromed-nickel steel, and a large internal compartment that contains the grease, inside of which there a special spring allows constant grease distribution on the pin, even during the hardest conditions of use.
Thanks to this new technology Polini say the performance is constant and consistent and it is no longer necessary to modify the roller calibration to find the best engine efficiency - the rollers have a coating made of a new mixture of nylon and aramidic fibres, which allows for reduced service costs and increased wear resistance and performance as well as improved bush and pin lubrication.
Also seen here, their “Air Speed Drive” fan delivers twin cooling of the transmission assembly with what the company describes as a "decisive" improvement in the aeration inside the crankcase, consequently increasing both engine performance and belt life. The Polini Speed Drive and Ceramic Speed Drive for Piaggio and Yamaha models include the Air Speed Fan too.
Meanwhile the company has also announced an expansion to its range of homologated stainless steel and aluminium exhaust muffler options for maxi scooters (some with catalytic converters) with designs available for selected models such as the Yamaha Xenter 125/150 2011/14, Piaggio X10 350 2012/15, Gilera Runner VXR 200 4T 2006/07, the 2015 Honda Forza, and the 2014/15 Peugeot Metropolis 400.
The company says they deliver "increased power, pickup and an "energetic" sound that stays within parameters thanks to their tested noise management materials.
The exhausts can be made of stainless steel or of black anodized light alloy, according to the Maxi scooter model and are sold together with a stainless steel racing pipe.
