Scooter and Motorcycle Thermal Units

let's talk about cylinder kits for scooters and motorcycles – one of the most popular upgrades (or spare parts) in the world of two-wheelers, especially for those looking for more power , engine restoration or reliability over time .


🔥 What is a Thermal Group?

The combustion chamber is the heart of the engine: it's the set of components where combustion takes place. Replacing it means renewing or enhancing the engine.

📦 Main components:

  • Cylinder

  • Head (sometimes included)

  • Piston

  • Elastic bands

  • Pin + seeger

  • Gaskets


🏍️ Types of Thermal Units

🔹 1. Original / OEM

  • Same factory specifications

  • Ideal for repairs or routine maintenance

🔹 2. Base / Sports

  • Same displacement, but greater performance

  • Air or liquid cooling

  • Perfect for urban use + small upgrades

🔹 3. Racing / High Performance

  • Larger displacements (e.g. from 50cc → 70cc / 80cc / 90cc)

  • Better materials (aluminum, nicasil)

  • More compression, more revs, more torque

  • They require a larger carburetor, sports muffler, and an appropriate variator.


⚙️ Cylinder Materials

Type Characteristics
Cast iron Cheaper, more robust, easier to rectify
Aluminum Lighter, cooler, better performance


🛠️ What to consider before purchasing

  • Compatibility with your model (brand, engine size, cooling)

  • Use : urban, sports, track

  • Exhaust system (do you need a sports exhaust?)

  • Reliability of the rest of the engine (connecting rod, bearings, carburetor)

  • Cooling : air or liquid
