PD Simplified : Engine Formats

Motorcycle engines come in all shapes and sizes - right from tiny 50cc ones to big burly 2500cc ones that can give some car engines performance anxiety. And size does matter, especially when you consider the chosen application for the engine. So for motorcycles that need to go super fast, like sportbikes, will have about 1000-1300cc engine in an inline-4 or V4, maybe even a v-twin configuration. For a motorcycle aimed at an absolute beginner, the motorcycle needs to be light and easy, and thus, could have a small single or a parallel twin. And talking about the engine configurations, there are, probably, as many of those as Diwali mithais in your favourite sweet shop. And all of that is decided on what the motorcycle that engine goes in, is expected to do. And gone are the days when some configurations lacked power, refinement, and the oomph as others. So before you disregard a motorcycle just because of the type of engine it has, go check it out, ride it. And yes, we understand that some of you may prefer a big throbbing engine between your legs, but some of the best motorcycles today have engines that break conventional ideologies. In this episode of PD Simplified, Shumi breaks down the types of engines, and why engineers choose a certain type over others for a motorcycle.
