Malossi Torque Drive Converter – noticeably better acceleration for Piaggio/Gilera 125–180 2T

The original converter has more of a curved progression (slot) compared to many tuning converters. This can manifest as a slight lack of acceleration during startup – and the RPM often does not increase as abruptly when accelerating again.

The Malossi Torque Drive relies on linearly optimized slopes for best acceleration and top speed. Thanks to high-quality nitrided steel and the usual high Malossi quality, this converter is particularly interesting if you are running a heavily tuned engine. On setups such as the Gilera Runner 180 FXR 2-stroke, the Piaggio Hexagon LXT 180 2-stroke, or the Aprilia SR 125 2-stroke, the upgrade in the variator tuning really pays off.

Perfect for this: Variator Malossi Multivar!

Important: After installation, the variator must be re-tuned (weights, if applicable, contrast spring).
