The perfect synthesis of innovation and technology. The R5T Team Edition engine excels in high bite conditions and tracks that require that little extra on the bottom end of the powerband.

The R5T Team Edition represents our highest performance 3.5 cc off-road engine. It boasts state-of-the-art technology to further improve fuel mileage, performance and reliability.

REDS R5T TEAM Edition is loaded with new features for 2016. REDS has introduced new sealing system to help keep dirt away from the redesigned internals. A new lightweight combustion chamber, lightweight crankcase, and redesigned crankshaft create a lower working center of gravity. REDS has also added a new GEN2 venturi for improved mileage and tunability.

ADVANCED CARB SYSTEM

The revolutionary carb features a differently positioned top end needle, rather than pointing diagonally upwards, it is now horizontally positioned much lower down. HCX Horizontal carb main features: higher idle stability, more precise tuning, easier access to high speed needle, higher mid/top range power.

The new Revolutionary GEN2 venturi guarantees improved fuel mileage and higher torque. The innovative design improves carburetor fluid dynamics for a even better tuning stability.

Up to 30 seconds more run-time

Up to 5% more torque

ANTI-DIRT SEALING SYSTEM

The new cooling head anti-dirt sealing system keeps the engine clean in a critical area between the cooling head and crankcase. The redesigned crankcase provides easier maintenance and a cleaner engine for longer life.

LIGHTWEIGHT & LOW GRAVITY CENTER

We designed the new REDS Factory Tuned line to be not only more powerful and reliable but lighter and with lower gravity center than ever before. To do that, we couldn’t just shave a millimeter here, a gram there. So we started from scratch, redesigning each essential part like crankcase, cooling head, combustion chamber and Black Diamond coated backplate.

HANDMADE, TUNED AND ASSEMBLED

All parts are matched, measured by Mario Rossi within certain tolerances, hand built and Tuned by him personally. The engine leaves our factory with a hand inspection of all components and compression is checked.
