It is a 7 special porting extreme power engine based on the WR7 Diamond edition and the power plant comes with the same sleeve and piston, crankshaft, crankcase, etc. as the first generation of the WR7, in order to keep its power characteristics unchanged.

Furthermore, the new cooling system has been created to guarantee a more consistent tuning in every track condition.
