Rev-3 Engine

[dave]

Just wondering how far back the rev-3 engine goes back, is it almost the same as what was in the techno's, in ways such as side casings and water pump housing etc ?

Thanks,

Its quite different. It started production for the 2000 season along with the Rev III bike. The top end is changed from the Techno, more compact , better cooling. The bottom end was made smaller and lighter. Overall width was reduced. Internals were lighten but in such a way as to not sacrifice strength. If you look at a gear in a Techno it will be a solid hunk of metal. That same gear in a Rev will look like a car wheel, drilled and slotted. Same strength, less weight.

Overall the Rev motor is just a more refined and powerfull version of the Techno motor.

Hi Aaron,

I met your brother Andy at the TTC last weekend. Nice guy. Seems to like Beta as much as you. He and his buddy, whose name I didn't get, were drying out their bikes after a really deep creek crossing. I hope you guys can make it down for the national next month.

Hey Ron,

Andy told me he ran into you. We do like our Betas but basically like Trials in genral.

We would love to make the TTC National but its not lookin good for me. Andy is still a possibility.

I will look forward to meeting you sometime anyway. With as much riding as I seem to be getting I will have to find out from you how the 04 Betas are working.
