Currently running REDS R5T and like it but my LHS doesn't carry them or spares and that is the reason I'm looking for different brands.
This engine is likely much like a R5T...smooth but strong bottom and a powerband that picks up steam the higher in the RPM it goes.I have not run this engine other then on the dyno and its still quite new ..plus the one tester we have has a damaged piston after dyno testing and we are still waiting for repair parts... I repaired the piston as best I could and so far the engine is a good runner, but not 100% reliable...The repair parts just became available so it shouldn't take too long till I have some better feedback

Hello rc pete,

I have been running 3 litres of Fuel on the Spec III. I hope, really hope the mileage will be improving because I really love the Power Band.

Cheerss..

Chances are that you didn't put a full gallon of fuel through it yet, so it's not even close to completely broken in. Your mileage will improve as it loosens up.

Maxima Mx Europa
Maxima Mx Europa Nigel Winkley Maxima Mx B4 is the successor of Mx B2R, the engine is based on the new O.S Speed 21XZ-B spec. III and itīs power characteristics are sort in between Spec II and B2101. Overall itīs easier to access the right powerband and the Runtime remains very optimized as all Mx Engines, more than an "standard" engine.
