New for 2022, Ielasi Tuned has announced a brand new engine for the offroad category, the Dirt-R. Developed on the basis of OS’s new B2104, the new Dirt-R takes a lot of inspiration from their previous Dirt model but with a substantial difference, 3 ports instead of 5 ports. The new engine backplate is modified with their specifications, the intake and exhaust phases customised to optimise fuel consumption and power delivery together with other small details make the DIRT-R an engine of a higher level than its predecessor.
