Description
The crankshaft, also called crankshaft, is one of the fundamental components for the transmission of motion:
its design and production must be treated in detail to ensure maximum performance and reliability.
Athena is a leader in the production of motorcycle parts and auto parts precisely because of the attention it devotes to development and construction
of its products: each Athena crankshaft is in fact forged in high tensile strength steel and
made with CNC numerical control machines.
After specific chemical thermal treatments, the tree obtains a high resistance and good elasticity
ensuring excellent performance even in intensive use and extreme conditions.
The crankshafts are all precisely designed, assembled and leveled to OEM specifications
to meet or exceed the original components in performance and durability. Thanks to their characteristics,
Athena's crankshafts are also suitable for the most elaborate engines, supporting very high powers without difficulty and
high stress Athena offers a range that satisfies every need:
1) Original: perfect replacement for the original shaft, but with a superior balance and a lighter in weight connecting rod. Each kit includes a special roller cage.
2) Racing (pin Ø10mm): solid cranks completely turned on the lathe to decrease the volume in the crank chamber. The shaft is equipped with a lightened connecting rod and provided with special roller cages (big end and small end).
3) Racing (Ø12mm pin): same as 10mm Racing shaft, but with the hole in the small end for Ø12mm pin.
4) Racing Long Stroke (Ø12mm pin): same as Racing 12mm shaft, but with extended stroke. This shaft can be combined with the Racing Long Stroke cylinder kits developed by Athena to increase the displacement to 80cc.
