Desmodronic valve setups

Because who doesn't want to adjust their valves every 6k miles? ;)

From what I understand that system was designed before valve spring alloys actually got good and is now pretty outdated, kind of like Harley's radial engines.

Desmodronic valves are nothing like camless valves; in fact they make more use of a camshaft than normal. Iirc most if not all ducatis have em and that's why they sound a bit more "clicky" than most bikes.

Ducati has something sort of similar in their bikes, called "desmodromic", still cammed but uses no springs, instead has a dedicated rocker arm and lobe for opening and closing each valve

[evandael]

I remember reading about their camless tech a year or so ago, they tested it in a rather run-of-the-mill Saab and saw some pretty impressive gains (both in power and economy).

Koenigsegg cam-less engine technology:


And the new One:1 hypercar. 1360hp, 1360kg wet weight. How fucking ball-out crazy is this thing? The exhaust tip is the single largest piece of 3D printed titanium ever made. Now I have to go change my pants. Again...
