New from Sworkz is the SPower S6TT “Dark Edition”, the next step in the development of the successful S6TT.  This special edition impresses with improved stationary operation and vibration-reduced running behaviour in the high speed range.  Of course, it has all the features of a top high-performance engine, such as DLC crankshaft and high-tech ceramic main bearings.  It has a 3+2 port design in a die-cast crankcase fitted with high-quality bearings, made in Japan, at the front and a ceramic main bearing, making the SPower S6TT what off-road drivers expect from a racing engine: durability, stability and user-friendliness.  The SPower S6TT features an aluminium carburettor with a very effective isolation ring and laser engraving.  This carburettor consists of a smaller internal channel that offers more stable running and an optimal consumption/performance ratio.  Depending on the vehicle and driving style, 10-minute refuelling stops are possible.  The cylinder head includes an O-ring to reduce vibration and optimise concentricity. The cooling head is anodised in 2 colours making the SPower S6TT “Dark Edition” an engine that draws everyone’s attention.
