Description

Eliminate the frustrating off-the-line lag and uneven mid-range shifting native to factory setups with the race-bred Malossi Multivar Performance Variator. Engineered, surface-calculated, and manufactured in Italy by the world's leader in scooter performance tuning, this complete CVT upgrade alters your transmission's shifting geometry. By reshaping the internal roller ramp guide angles, it forces your drive belt to travel further and smoother—maximizing acceleration and unlocking extra top-end speed.

Premium Italian Engineering Features

  • Optimized Shift Curve: Recalculated ramp paths maintain a linear belt transit, keeping your 50cc motor pinned directly inside its optimal powerband.
  • Self-Lubricating Plain Bush: Features a ground, case-hardened steel drive boss bushing to ensure smooth, friction-free sliding and exceptional long-term durability under high thermal strain.
  • High-Tension White Counterpressure Spring: Includes an upgraded racing torque spring (+30% stiffness) to prevent belt slippage and optimize rear pulley back-shifting during corner exits.
  • Precision HTRoll Weights: Ships with a matched set of 6 high-density, wear-resistant 9.0-gram rollers (16x13mm) balanced for robust daily performance.
  • Made in Italy: Authentic Malossi engineering, proven on the racetrack since 1930.

Make / Brand Model Family Compatibility Engine Setup & Fitment Parameters

CRITICAL MODEL EXCLUSION: This kit is engineered exclusively for Kymco 2-Stroke engine configurations. It WILL NOT fit Kymco 4-stroke models (such as the Agility 50, Like 50 4T, or People 50 4T) due to completely different crankshaft splines and variator face angles.

  • Counterpressure spring — white reinforced, d=4.0mm, Piaggio 50 (+30%): #298360W0

Technical Specifications

  • Roller Dimensions: 16x13mm
  • Part Number: M 519988
  • Country of Origin: Italy (IT)
    Tuning Note: The included 9.0g roller weights are calibrated as an excellent baseline for stock or lightly modified sport exhausts. If you have installed a high-RPM racing expansion chamber pipe, you may need to mix in lighter roller weights to align the CVT with your new, higher peak powerband.
    Installation Tip: Never reuse a worn or cracked drive belt when installing a performance variator. Clean the crankshaft splines completely free of old belt dust before assembly, and never use an impact wrench to torque the variator face nut without a dedicated holding tool.
