Smooth Running With Malossi Roller Bearing Gear Box End Plates


Malossi are renowned the world over for manufacturing class leading and ground breaking performance products for all capacities of scooter from 50cc through to 850cc, one such innovation is the Roller bearing gearbox end plate available for Piaggio/Gilera and Minarelli 50cc engines.

The standard gearbox plate relies solely on lubricant between direct metal to metal surfaces, which if not maintained, over time leads to wear either in the gear mounting recesses or wear to the gears and shafts themselves, meaning a costly repair. The Malossi unit has replaced these direct metal to metal contact points with needle and ball bearing races to lower friction on the gear set by up to 8% for the MHR version, ensuring smoother running, less wear and more importantly no loss of power to the rear wheel.

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, that they are buying genuine factory supplied parts, with a TWO YEAR warranty.
