01. Faster and wiser
Engine
The fuel-injected 300 cc engine offers the best combination of unrivalled peak power and usable torque. Lightweight in construction, the engine design centralises mass, which plays a vital role in the handling and agility of the machine. An electronic exhaust control system tailors the power in every gear to ensure maximum performance on every part of the race track. The TC 300 Heritage engine is easy to maintain, with clear markings on the engine covers indicating where to check the gearbox oil level, as well as where to drain the coolant from.
Cylinder
With Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) as standard on the TC 300 Heritage model, a traditional powervalve is replaced with an electronic exhaust control system. This highly innovative technology manages the opening of the lateral exhaust ports before the main exhaust ports open to deliver strong, controllable power. The upper contour of the exhaust port features a machined finish for unrivalled performance.
Crankshaft
Designed with weight reduction and performance in mind, the crankshaft inside the TC 300 engine improves throttle response and contributes to the lightweight feel of the motorcycle. The perfect balance of rotating masses is achieved by balancing the weights of the crankshaft flywheel and the rotor, and thanks to the innovative counter balancer shaft, engine vibration is kept to an absolute minimum.
Crankcases
High-pressure die cast production processes allow for the crankcases to be manufactured with a thinner wall thickness to keep the overall weight to a minimum and to position the shaft arrangements perfectly for optimised mass centralisation. This clever design aids the overall balance and agility of the TC 300 Heritage machine while the symmetrical engine mounts enhance the flex characteristics of the chassis.
Counter balancer shaft
The TC 300 Heritage model features an innovative, laterally mounted counter balancer shaft. This shaft significantly reduces engine vibration, resulting in a smoother and more comfortable ride.
DDS clutch
The damped diaphragm steel (DDS) clutch fitted to the TC 300 Heritage model is unique as a single diaphragm steel pressure plate is utilised instead of traditional coil springs. Housed inside a CNC machined steel basket, the overall clutch design contributes to the compact engine layout and features a damping system for maximum traction and durability.
Gearbox
The TC 300 Heritage model features a 5-speed gearbox manufactured exclusively by Pankl Racing Systems for the highest level of durability and ensures smooth and precise shifting. In addition, the gear lever tip design provides optimised leverage and prevents dirt build-up, even in the toughest conditions.
