Have the same power.
But the more power you produce the more heat you produce.
So this is where a watercooled engine can get rid of the heat better.
Optimal temp for a pocket bike to run is around 65 to 75 degrees.
An aircooled bike will not get rid of the heat as quickly as a watercooled.
So a watercooled will produce more power due to it being able to get rid of the heat much more quickly and will be able to continue to run at optimal temperature. |
actually dazza, an aircooled with the right design of cooling fins can also get rid of the heat very quickly so long as it has good air flow. they can cool as quickly as W/C engines. cags are poorly designed though
cags have nowhere near the same stroke as a W/C engine either
