The new LRP ZZ.21C Ceramic has been developed from scratch, profiting from the experience and input from their factory drivers, the result of which is a true rpm monster. Inside there are exclusively selected materials of the highest quality which together with an extremely precise manufacturing process results in a smooth power delivery. The new balanced crankshaft with carbon coating and silicone insert ensures minimum wear and low resistance. The newly designed engine head is extremely flat, flow optimized and lightweight meaning the centre of gravity is significantly lower compared to other competition engines. The end result is a motor with lots of power and super low fuel consumption.
