CNC-manufactured torsion strut for additional support of the engine housing on powerful Piaggio Maxi 2-stroke engines.
The DDL Tuning additional swingarm is a very useful reinforcement for more powerful Piaggio 125-180 cc 2-stroke engines. It provides additional support for the long engine housing section and reduces the torsion of the crankcase. This is precisely its technical benefit: With powerful setups, the housing is subjected to greater loads, particularly in the area of the long housing arm. The additional strut helps to absorb these forces better and reduce the risk of crankcase damage or breakage.
In Piaggio 125-180 cc 2-stroke engines, the long housing section is an area that is subject to significantly higher loads than in standard condition when the engine is running at higher power and in a sporty riding style. This is precisely where the DDL additional swingarm comes in. It works as an additional strut or torsional support and helps to reduce torsion in the housing area.
According to the manufacturer, the strut fits the crankcase without modification. This is an important point, because a clean and tension-free installation is crucial, especially with such reinforcements. The additional swing arm is designed as a suitable solution for the Piaggio Maxi 2-stroke engines mentioned and does not have to be modified or adapted first.
According to the manufacturer, the additional swingarm is suitable in conjunction with
When using the original exhaust, the DDL0001 gasket is required.
The additional swingarm is particularly interesting for all those who no longer ride a Piaggio 125-180 cc 2-stroke engine in pure standard condition. The more powerful the setup and the higher the mechanical load, the more useful an additional housing support becomes. This strut is a technically plausible upgrade, especially on engines with a sporty exhaust system, more powerful cylinders or generally higher continuous loads.

The DDL tuning additional swingarm is a technically sensible reinforcement part for more powerful Piaggio Maxi 2-stroke engines. It reduces the torsion of the engine casing, relieves the long casing arm and helps to reduce the risk of casing breakage. This is a very well thought-out addition, especially for powerful 125-180cc setups.
