Just to stir the pot!
Ryger has just been issued patents on new 2-stroke technology. His engine has just been homologated by the FIA to race in 125cc shifter karts.

in this guys^^^ facebook is pictures of the FIA document, with some pictures of the new technology.
It has been said that this 125cc single makes 70hp @ 17,500rpm! with the ability to rev to 30,000rpm!!!!!!
Not sure if I believe that grandeous statement, but either way, this new tech could be a new breath of life into the world of 2-strokes.
I have been trying to find the patent documents, with very little success. Although I'm not sure if the documents would be up on there data base yet, as the patents had just been finalized at the end of January.
Braap!

I must be missing it. Cylinder is reversed, but that's no big deal.
That, and there are bunch of extra transfer ports at the bottom of the cylinder.

Luxon 4-Post Bar Mounts
$189.95 - $239.95
DeCal Works Huge Plastic Inventory of UFO and Polisport kits.
The water jacket around the bottom of the crankcase is pretty interesting too.
even if you 'detuned' this engine to make 60hp with lots of torque, the thing would be an animal!!!
new pro classes: lites- 65cc; pro class- 85cc; Open- 125 up to 150cc's
Still, I really don think it can be done, other than on paper. All engines are is air pumps. So, has this guy found a way to make a 125cc air pump move as much air as a 500cc air pump? Dont think its possible unless it revs four times as high.

Just look at RC cars and planes, electric outpowers the high revving 2 stroke engines.
Now Elon Musk is talking about tesla planes.....
These 'in the know' guys also said that this tech is backwards compatible. Idk, maybe the other homologated engines are allowed to run with Rygers tech. or maybe Ryger is going to sell a kit that would work on the other engines. Or maybe they will develop there own, and have to pay royalties to Ryger.
Or, this is just complete bullshit all around
The very best of the last 125 GP bikes were said to be getting mid / high 50 HP levels, and, perhaps into the 60s, so, an engine such as the one that is shown in all those pictures / documents - well, I'd not be surprised by a 70HP level.
If approved by the Karting controllers, as it seems to be, one would assume it will be quite legal to race - but it may well be in it's own class / will establish a 'new' class. I don't know much about Karting - other than it's all bloody berserko - when I've gone, I've usually seen more ambulance to-ing and fro-ing at Kart races, than MX / Dirt Bike races. I think a lot of blokes remove their brains as they get into the Kart seats, and, a lot have little to no race sense. Scary stuff - so many starting Karting, just pin it - they are just a bit different to bikes - they don't fall over when you place your bum on a seat, and put your feet to the pedal plate(footpegs for us 2 wheelers).
