Never stop at the latest achievement. That's how BRP-Rotax has conquered the motorcycle engine sector, worldwide.

The world's leading motorcycle manufacturers choose ROTAX 2- and 4-stroke engines. Why? Because they know that, before ROTAX started supplying top-of-the-line motorcycle engines in the early 1980s, we had been building LOHNER scooter engines since 1950. And throughout this innovative history, BRP-Rotax has been driven by the same two goals: maximum performance and outstanding reliability.

Engines that blow the competition away
With 139 horsepower and an extremely compact design (60° cylinder angle), the V990 powers one of the fastest twin-cylinder motorcycle on the track, proven by comparative testing. Simply put, it's built for speed, thanks to such innovations as a cutting-edge mass-balancing system with double countershafts for limiting vibrations, not to mention the Pneumatic Power Clutch to control rear wheel bounce. With magnesium cylinder head and clutch covers, the weight of the engine is reduced to an absolute minimum.
Not enough? How about the 650 cc single-cylinder: In performance, torque and reliability, it's been acclaimed as the best one-cylinder motorcycle engine in the world. Maximum simplicity and compactness combine to create truly superior handling. And that's not counting ROTAX engines' many other advantages across the board, such as reduced vibrations thanks to the balance shaft, which increases riding comfort and user-friendliness.

We listen to our clients. Then, exceed their expectations. ROTAX motorcycle engines are tailor-made, customized developments that power the world's most exciting motorcycles.
