Athena performance parts for 2T Piaggio AC engines

If you're looking for performance upgrades, then a worthwhile consideration for engines fitted with a Piaggio air cooled engine are the following Athena parts:

Piaggio air cooled engines (e.g. Piaggio Zip / NRG)

The Athena HP 70cc aluminium sports cylinder kit provides very useable all round performance throughout the rev range making it perfect for the street. The porting and quality of this kit is excellent and it's also very durable. This particular kit features a single piston ring, carbon fibre reed petals and a bunch of gaskets. Fits all Piaggio air cooled engines.

We recommend using a bigger carb of 17.5mm or above, however this kit will still work fine with the original carburettor with a jetting increase of 10-15% along with a performance exhaust system.

Product code: AD/069200/1

This is the Athena HPR Racing 70cc cylinder kit from Athena. Like the Athena HP 70cc cylinder kit, the porting and quality is excellent and again, very durable. The HPR Racing kit features a revised port layout and flat top piston for added power. The HPR kit is higher revving than the HP kit and requires a suitable exhaust like the Yasuni C16 or Doppler RR7 for example. You will also need to use a suitable carburettor of 17.5mm or above, however the kit will work with the standard carb with a jet increase of at least 10-15%. Included in the kit are carbon fibre reed petals and a bunch of gaskets to alter squish.

Product code: AD/082000

The Athena Platinum series of drive belts are made in Japan so you can expect the same quality and performance as Polini drive belts. Made from reinforced Kevlar, Athena Platinum drive belts are also extremely hard wearing. Please note that Kevlar drive belts require around 100 miles to wear in.

Increase your revs with an Athena unlimited CDI unit. This CDI is designed for race use and once fitted will remove all the barriers of the standard CDI and allow your scooter to be unleashed with an unrestricted unlimited revs unit.
