The Dutch are surely cookin'! Here's a prototype 40mm cylinder that Jouke Rottiné from Solexnoord has crafted.
What's new? It's a nikasil cylinder, meaning that the inner coating is super durable, whilst the rest of the cylinder - which is made of alloy - should allow for notable better cooling than the stock cast iron cylinder.
Price, availability and release date is still kept a secret - or at least kept in Dutch. However, the design sounds promising indeed, and if the prices are reasonable Giant Centipedes might even consider placing an order.
We'll keep you updated. For more pictures, here's more.
Sounds great !!!
