Design and development
The ROS200 is a twin-cylinder
two-stroke,
in-line, displacement, fan-forced air-cooled, petrol engine design, with a
helical gear mechanical gearbox
reduction drive with a reduction ratio of 3.5:1. It employs a single
capacitor discharge ignition and produces at 9000 rpm, with a
compression ratio
The compression ratio is the ratio between the volume of the cylinder and combustion chamber in an internal combustion engine at their maximum and minimum values.
A fundamental specification for such engines, it is measured two ways: the stati ...
