Mid-Race Performance: Polini Corsa 70cc Iron Cylinder
Step up to "Mid-Race" power with the Polini Corsa Cylinder Kit. While based on the legendary Polini 70cc Sport, the Corsa is factory-tuned with revised port timing and a polished exhaust port to deliver significantly more horsepower and higher RPM ceilings. This cast-iron kit combines the bulletproof reliability of a daily driver with the aggressive acceleration required for the track.
Technical Performance Features
- Factory Ported: Features hand-finished porting from Polini technicians to optimize scavenging and increase top-end power compared to the standard 70cc Sport kit.
- Thermal-Resistant Cast Iron: Provides a rugged, long-lasting bore that can be honed and oversized if needed, offering better durability for high-heat racing conditions.
- Chrome-Plated Piston Rings: Includes specialized high-tension rings designed to reduce friction and maintain a perfect seal at high crankshaft speeds.
- 10mm Wrist Pin: Engineered specifically for the standard 10mm small-end bearings found on horizontal Minarelli and Genuine 50cc engines.

Mechanic's Note: The Corsa is a high-revving kit. To prevent engine failure, you must increase your oil-to-fuel ratio by adding 1oz of high-quality 2-stroke oil per gallon of gas. Additionally, this kit performs best when paired with at least a 17.5mm or 19.1mm Carburetor and a mid-race expansion chamber exhaust.
