Exhaust BGM PRO 55 mm stroke designed by DDL, for Piaggio 125-180 ccm AC/LC 2-stroke Maxi

Suitable for Gilera Runner FX / FXR 125-180, Italjet Dragster 125-180 and other Piaggio maxi 2-stroke engines in the 125-180 cc range.

The BGM PRO exhaust for 55 mm stroke is a clearly sporty performance system for Piaggio Maxi 2-stroke engines with a long-stroke setup and was developed by DDL. In contrast to the 52 mm version, this version is much more tailored to 55 mm crankshafts and therefore to powerful 172 to 180 cc concepts. Its territory is engines that are cleanly built, should rotate freely at the top and where the cylinder, head and timing really match the stroke.

Performance characteristics

sporty design: the system is intended for 55 mm stroke concepts and clearly operates in the sporty range
Upper rev window: depending on the source and setup, the operating range is roughly between 9,000 and 10,500 rpm
not a stock replacement: particularly useful on clean 172/180cc setups with tuned peripherals
noticeably performance-oriented: designed for more pull and power on 55 mm long-stroke concepts

For which setups the exhaust is intended

This version is particularly interesting for 55 mm crankshaft setups. The available sources mainly mention Piaggio original 172, Malossi 172 and PM Tuning 180. Dealers also mention original 125cc, 150cc and 180cc cylinders, although the exhaust only really comes into its own there if the engine is really set up for a long stroke.

Sensible setup

According to available dealer information, the exhaust works well with the original ignition. However, for it to run really cleanly, the overall package should match the 55 mm stroke. This is exactly where a good running long-stroke engine separates itself from a parts package that has only been assembled.

Mandatory base: 55 mm crankshaft
sensible cylinder base: Piaggio 172, Malossi 172, PM Tuning 180 or comparable concepts
Matching head: with a 55 mm stroke, a matching cylinder head or a matching head/spacer solution makes sense
Carburetor and intake: should match the engine's displacement and speed target

Important: 55 mm stroke requires a clean engine concept

With a 55 mm stroke, it is often not enough in practice to simply fit a long-stroke shaft under a standard cylinder. It is very clear from the scene that the cylinder, head and timing must be adapted for such setups so that the engine runs really cleanly and the exhaust works properly.

Cylinder machining or adjustment of the geometry may be necessary
A head with the right combustion chamber depth makes sense
Without correct timing, a 55 mm concept often does not run convincingly

Practical classification

The BGM PRO exhaust in this 55 mm class is not an inconspicuous standard replacement, but a genuine performance system for sporty Piaggio Maxi engines. It is particularly interesting when a runner, dragster or hexagon engine is specifically set up as a 55 mm long-stroke concept and should work freely and cleanly at the top.
