Team Orion CRF 21 US Spec engine
Team Orion have officially announced the CRF 21 US Spec buggy engine, which is the result of intensive testing with the collaboration of team drivers Ryan Cavalieri, Jorn Neumann and Philipp Guschl. With the introduction of new types of cars with lighter components, it appeared that the existing CRF engine was too powerful, so they created a new specification engine. This new motor keeps the incredible torque but delivers the power in a smoother way as requested by the team, while at the same time getting better mileage efficiency.

- New black anodized back plate for smoother throttle response.
- Lightened head for better handling of the car, same good cooling efficiency.
- New generation crankshaft with closer timing and smaller inside hole to increase throttle response.
- New carburator for smoother use.

Jörn Neumann hardly finished any race with the prototype, see his latest results; there was always something wrong with the car or the engine….

I’ve heard rumors also that the newest CRF’s would be made by Sirio, but this really looks like it is still made by Picco….

Exact same crankcase as…. Mega DSII+ EM….

Yes, seems to be made by Picco for sure. Like some Mega engines. And the old one was too powerful? It hasn’t had the torque and power of a C6 but the C6 has better fuel mileage and GREAT throttle responce.
