Malossi Transmission Products


The Malossi range of performance transmission parts are available for all capacities of Automatic Scooter from 50cc through to 800cc.

The range includes variators, drive belts and rollers all of which are manufactured to the highest possible standards utilising the latest technologies to ensure not only the best possible finish available but also to ensure that each and every component is identical.

The variator is one of the highest load bearing items in the scooters transmission and as wear sets in, vibration and damage to other transmission components can result, i.e. drive belt wear, etc. The Malossi Multivar Variator range has been designed to offer a more consistent and reliable shifting process, with redesigned face and roller ramp angles to obtain the very best power transfer from the scooters engine, whilst offering an extended service life.

Malossi also manufacture an excellent range of drive belts in both their Special belt and Kevlar belts variations. The Malossi Special belt range is designed as a standard replacement belt far exceeding the specifications of the OE part, while the Kevlar drive belt range is a heavily up rated item featuring Kevlar strands to maximise belt life whilst reducing belt slip on tuned motors.

Malossi transmission components offer excellent value for money compared to OE parts, and a wide range of variator rollers are available to complement and further enhance the scooters transmission where required, especially after other tuning modifications are made. With a range of rollers available in a vast array of weights and sizes, Malossi rollers are available for over 99% of scooters currently on the road.

Malossi performance products are imported by VE (UK), the Malossi Spa Appointed Sole UK Distributor, and are sold through their Malossi Tech Centres and VE Dealer network with a 2 Year Warranty. This ensures those who purchase from Malossi Tech Centres or VE dealers, are buying genuine factory supplied parts, with a TWO YEAR warranty.

T-Maximise Your Stopping Power With Grimeca


Large powerful Maxi Scooters like the Yamaha T-Max 500 require efficient braking systems for the serious rider or when any engine tuning is undertaken. Grimeca, who have been recognised for a long time as one of the worlds leading brake manufacturers, produce a highly uprated front disc brake kit for the T-Max, that combines power and quality in a subtle yet impressive package.

The disc brake kit consists of two floating discs, two four piston calipers, master cylinder with adjustable lever, caliper mounting brackets, micro stop switch conversion kit and all the required fittings and hardware required to install the system.

Of particular note is that Grimeca instead of a brake pad per side, have employed a "pad per piston" approach instead to ensure excellent stopping power and enhanced brake balance across both calipers.

The uprated brake package is suitable for all Yamaha T-Max 500 machines from 2004 to 2007 and is available through VE (UK) under the part number of VY19503
