Comparison of ISFC (@42.9 Pinnacle Engines’ 110cc production-intent prototype packaged for a motorcycle application. For a comparison engine, Pinnacle used a 200 cc, conventional two-valve, air-cooled, carbureted model. The sleeve valves have a short heat rejection path directly to lube oil. Source: Pinnacle.
