The Polini Performance Variator Kit is widely considered the gold standard for Honda Ruckus and Metropolitan transmission tuning. Engineered and manufactured in Italy, this kit redefines your scooter's power band by optimizing shift points to deliver aggressive take-offs and a higher top-end speed.

By allowing the drive belt to travel further across the pulley face, the Polini variator effectively "widens" your gear ratio. This results in better low-end torque for hill climbing and lower engine RPMs at cruising speeds, extending the life of your motor while saving fuel.

Performance Benefits:

• Extended Range: Improved ramp plate geometry allows the belt to ride higher for increased top speed.
• Improved Take-off: Optimized roller tracks provide a quicker "hole-shot" from a dead stop.
• Reduced Friction: Premium Polini sliders and a high-grade drive boss ensure smooth, consistent shifting.

Technical Specifications:

• Variator Diameter: 95mm
• Internal Diameter: 20mm
• Roller Weights Included: Two sets of 16x13mm (5.6g and 6.9g) for precision tuning.
• Origin: Made in Italy

Detailed Model Fitment:

This kit is specifically designed for 50cc 4-stroke engines, including the Honda GET and the 139QMB platform:
