MRP reed valve intake manifold - Vespa Largeframe (Sprint, Rally, PX, Cosa) - Honda NSR reed valve

Suitable for all engine housing variants of the Largeframe engines (including Vespa Sprint, Rally, PX, Cosa). Conversion to reed valve intake eliminates the original rotary valve control via the crank web. This means that the intake in the engine housing can - and should - be opened/milled for a significant increase in performance. A diaphragm crankshaft(flow-optimized intake cheek) is a sensible option and further increases the potential.

Largeframe PX/Sprint/Rally/Cosa Honda NSR Diaphragm Oil pump free ≥ 70 mm sealing surface 26-30 mm carburetor Made in Germany

Advantages compared to rotary slide valves

Inlet cross-section can be dimensioned large - no sealing edge constraints as with rotary slide valves
Better filling at medium/high revs, stable idling and response behavior
Thermally decoupled carburetor mount - less carburetor heating
No welding / no adapter plate required - clean fit
