The hard facts
The more horsepower an engine develops the more heat it creates. Once an engine reaches around 85°C you start losing power and at about 118°C you could lose 6-7 HP and ultimately risks the threat of serious damage. Cooling problems are a major cause of failures in all types of racing: the radiator is important to the performance and longevity of your engine.
How does it work
The radiator removes the engine’s unused heat. This is accomplished by the fluid which carries the heat out of the engine into the radiator. Once in the radiator, the fluid moves through the tubes/fins where the engine’s heat is dissipated.
Why an Aluminum Racing Radiator
Although the concept of a radiator is quite simple, getting a radiator to work properly under the extreme conditions of motorcycle racing is not as simple. Most OEM motorcycle radiators are not designed to stand up to the conditions of motorcycle racing, this includes both their strength and performance.
Most radiators for street applications are designed around the principle of getting the job done for the lowest possible cost. As a result, most stock radiators are merely adequate for the task of cooling the engine during normal usage. The tubes in a radiator are the primary source of cooling and the fins are secondary. Since the tubing is much more expensive than fins, most OEM radiators increase the number of fins to reduce the amount of costly tubing required. A good aluminium racing radiator does just the opposite, with more tube surface for primary cooling and fewer fins allowing it to cool much more effectively.
Two additional benefits of aluminium racing radiators are strength and weight. Most aluminium racing radiators have the tanks welded to the tubes rather than brazed or sealed with epoxy. This makes the radiator much stronger and more capable of standing up to the extreme conditions of racing.
ATTENTION: This is a racing product – it may be necessary to adapt some components on the bike (fairings, exhaust…etc)
These radiators are hand-built to order in the Italian factory. Please allow 10-20 days for delivery.
