Variator Air Intake for Gilera Runner / Piaggio Maxi 125–180cc
Optimized airflow for your CVT transmission – precision fit, durable construction and easy installation!
Our specially developed variator air intake for Piaggio Maxi 125–180cc engines provides a functional solution for directing cooling air into the variator cover.
The air intake replaces the corresponding original intake component and uses its optimized shape to guide incoming air toward the CVT housing.
Designed for riders looking for a functional construction, high-quality materials and clean integration into their scooter.
Optimized Airflow for CVT Cooling
During operation, the variator, drive belt and clutch generate heat through friction and mechanical movement.
A suitable supply of fresh air is therefore an important part of the transmission cooling system.
Our air intake features a flow-oriented design intended to guide incoming air toward the designated intake area of the variator cover.
The actual cooling effect depends on the vehicle configuration, airflow and operating conditions.
High-Quality PA12-CF Material
The air intake is manufactured using 3D printing technology and PA12-CF (carbon-fiber-reinforced polyamide 12).
This technical material offers high stiffness, good dimensional stability and temperature resistance suitable for many functional engineering applications.
PA12-CF is therefore an excellent choice for technical components used in automotive and scooter applications.
Plug & Play Installation
The air intake is designed to fit the corresponding mounting location on the variator cover and replaces the original intake component.
An important advantage: The original rubber intake hose can still be used, allowing the existing air supply connection to remain in place without requiring a special replacement hose.
Suitable mounting hardware is included.
