Crankshaft DEXTER RACING full cheek 60 mm stroke for Vespa PX200 and Rally200 Ducati

Full cheek crankshaft for powerful Vespa large-frame reed engines - with 60 mm stroke, 110 mm CNC/RDP connecting rod and flow-oriented cheek shape.

The DEXTER RACING full cheek crankshaft is designed for Vespa Largeframe engines with diaphragm intake on the housing. With 60 mm stroke, it offers 3 mm more stroke than the standard PX200 crankshaft and is therefore suitable for high-torque touring and performance setups based on Vespa PX200 and Rally200 with Ducati ignition. The closed full cheek design supports smooth engine running, while the shape of the cheeks is designed for the freest possible gas flow in the reed valve inlet.

What makes the DEXTER RACING full cheek shaft so special

for reed valve setups: designed for case intake with reed valve control, not for standard rotary valve operation
60 mm stroke: plus 3 mm compared to the original PX200 crankshaft for more displacement and torque potential
CNC/RDP connecting rod: 110 mm connecting rod for pistons with 16 mm piston pin
Flow-oriented cheek shape: developed to impede the gas flow in the reed valve inlet as little as possible
Balancing and weighting insert: supports the desired balance of the full cheek shaft
Solid mass: approx. 1.9 kg weight for a smooth, high-torque engine character

Full cheek shaft for diaphragm inlet

In a classic rotary vane engine, the crankshaft controls the intake via the rotary vane surface in the engine housing. A full cheek shaft like this DEXTER RACING version, on the other hand, is designed for diaphragm engines. The intake is controlled by the diaphragm, while the crankshaft should present as little obstruction to the flow in the crankcase as possible.

The cheek shape of the DEXTER RACING crankshaft is therefore matched to the gas flow in vane-controlled large-frame crankcase inlets. This makes it particularly interesting for powerful PX200 and Rally200 engines with reed valve box, large carburetor and corresponding cylinder and exhaust concept.

Important: only for reed valve intake

This crankshaft is a full cheek shaft for reed valve setups. It is not intended for operation with a standard rotary valve intake.

Suitable for: Diaphragm intake on the engine housing
not suitable for: standard rotary valve engines without diaphragm conversion
Check setup: Housing, diaphragm case, carburetor, cylinder and exhaust must match the desired engine setup

60 mm stroke for more torque base

With a 60 mm stroke, the DEXTER RACING crankshaft is 3 mm longer than the standard PX200 stroke. This increases the effective displacement and gives the engine a stronger torque base. This is a proven basis for powerful touring engines and sporty road set-ups, especially with 200cc large-frame engines.

However, the larger stroke also changes the installation situation on the cylinder. The crushing edge, timing, piston clearance and cylinder position must be checked during assembly and, if necessary, adjusted using base or head gaskets, spacer plates or suitable machining.

110 mm CNC/RDP connecting rod for 16 mm piston pin

The crankshaft is equipped with a 110 mm CNC/RDP connecting rod and is designed for pistons with 16 mm piston pins. This makes it suitable for typical PX200 and Rally200-based cylinder concepts, provided the piston pin, connecting rod length and stroke match the respective cylinder design.

Weighting and balance

The shaft has an insert for weighting and balancing. In conjunction with the full cheek design and the weight of approx. 1.9 kg, this results in a crankshaft for engines where smooth running, good filling behavior and resilient performance are more important than an extremely light, high-revving characteristic.

Suitable areas of application

The DEXTER RACING full cheek crankshaft is designed for performance-oriented Vespa large-frame projects where the engine is built with a diaphragm intake anyway. It is particularly well suited to powerful 200cc setups with a larger cylinder, adapted exhaust, large carburetor and appropriately tuned transmission.

Touring engines with 60 mm stroke and wide torque band
Sporty road and performance setups
Engines with large carburetor, reed valve and adapted exhaust

Assembly instructions

Check the crankcase: Check that the cheeks move freely in the housing before final assembly
Adjust cylinder: Carefully adjust the squish edge, timing and piston clearance through the 60 mm stroke
Bearings and shaft seals: always use bearings that fit and are in perfect condition when reassembling
Adjust the diaphragm system: Plan the diaphragm case, intake manifold, carburettor and exhaust as a complete system
Professional installation: Work on the crankcase and engine housing should only be carried out with suitable tools and appropriate experience

Conclusion

The DEXTER RACING full cheek crankshaft with 60 mm stroke is a consistent crankshaft for Vespa PX200 and Rally200 engines with reed valve intake. It combines more stroke, a 110 mm CNC/RDP connecting rod, flow-oriented cheeks and a solid overall mass to form a strong basis for high-torque large-frame setups. It is important to plan the entire engine appropriately: this shaft belongs in a reed valve engine, not in an unmodified rotary valve setup.

FAQ on the DEXTER RACING full cheek crankshaft PX200

No. This crankshaft is designed as a full cheek shaft for diaphragm intake on the housing and is not intended for a standard rotary valve engine.
The standard PX200 crankshaft has a stroke of 57 mm. With a 60 mm stroke, the stroke is increased by 3 mm. This increases the displacement and torque potential, but at the same time the crushing edge, timing and piston clearance must be properly adjusted.
The shaft has a 110 mm CNC/RDP connecting rod and is designed for pistons with 16 mm piston pins. The selected cylinder must match the connecting rod length, stroke and piston pin diameter.
That depends on the housing and setup used. The clearance of the crank webs, the diaphragm inlet, the cylinder base area and all sealing surfaces must be checked before final assembly.
