It features a new sleeve with seven transfer ports and exhaust boosters with the patented shape and position of those will improve internal mixture flow to optimise overall performance.

Multiple ROAR National Champion Adam Drake has announced that he will no longer be running Novarossi engines. Having joined the Italian manufacturer back in early 2009, the partnership was formidable with multiple US titles and countless other wins but as it seems with a lot of long standing sponsorship deals recently, all good things come to an end. Adam posted this message on Facebook:

As 2016 comes to an end, so does my time with Novarossi. It’s been an amazing run and I’m very grateful for the support and relationships I’ve built with everyone at Novarossi and Novarossi Direct.
