The last two years Japanese companies released the power valve billet aluminum cylinders for SX-R and Super Jet. Maekawa Engineering had initially released the power valve cylinder in 2007 and Botti used it on his aggressive true racing SX-R in 2008.

The Ski matter is very small world wide therefore both Companies are very smart though, they will be able to sell the 2T Ski’s until the end of 2010, as far as we know...

There big bore 52mm carbs are illustrated on a Japanese blog (TECH510) and most probably (since our Japanese are not that good) are made for the new generation big bore two stroke engine that initially are featured on Freestyle/Freeride race crafts. Though, since tuners had started already building similar engines for the GP or Pro Ski class these are the next step (though for how long...) in two-stroke tuning.
