Polini variator vs Malossi variator (AF16)

Post by gperspective »

heya

doing my first swap / mount on a spree and replacing the stock variator will be the first mod I'll be doing with a ZX trans kit.

noticed some sell the malossi with a ZX drive boss.

and that also some people swear on the polini variator

can anyone who's ever tried both of these variators with stock af16 ZX trans tell me what the performance differences are like?

thanks :2thumbs:

Hi GP. I like malossi for top speed and polini for low to mid. but they are much the same. it's how you tune them. :nerd:

Polini vario with a malossi ramp and a polini boss when doing a Zx. Also the polini for ruckus is nice if your modding your case.
