Is that a push rod engine? Don't look like an overhead cam.

It's a side valve engine, think Ford flathead.

Check the exploded view on the wall to the right of the bike. See the valves open up. http://www.motoverte.fr/site/zoomimage.php?arti_id=26771&medi_id=23588

I'm intrigued! :nod:

I believe that Will Ibsen has recently picked up G.G. sponsorship. I'll have to ask them about this thing. :cool:

Or Briggs and Stratton . . . ;)

a much more compact design than the OHV and OHC setups, to be sure. Obviously the power isn't there or we'd see this on race bikes.

Good torque, light weight & more compact is all that really matters for the trials market so I'm suprised it wasn't tried previously.
