Wow! I can’t wait to see him qualify. Kudos to the team who thought of this! Brilliant! That bike sounds mean!
I dream of a fuel injected two-stroke with this coating some day. Very exciting.

Yeah that is awesome. Very interesting stuff!

“Once you get your arms around this, you realize that going faster (now) is all about “square inches”. The more you have, the faster you go. Or as we joke, ” if I have more than you, I win”. Which is why when it gets serious (as in now) you won’t find a “silver surface” anywhere in the 250 (or a steel ball for that matter).”

Are you saying this help a 250 or 125 2-stroke go faster, or compete better against a 450?

This just totally blows me away!!! It never ceases to amaze me what solutions brilliant minds can achieve!!! You can hear the difference in the exhaust note on the videos…Project 250 is just screaming power!!! I can’t wait to see Mike on the track…Good Times!!!

There would be ALOT less heat because of less friction. But do you lose compression because of less fo a seal from the rings? adn why do the crank and bearings have to be coated also?

Let me (hopefully) clarify a few things. The molecular interaction of MicroBlue and lubricants comes from the makeup of the coating compound. There are two atoms of sulphur in it. Sulphur has an atomic affinity to any hydrocarbon. When an oil comes into contact with a MB surface, it reduces the surface tension of the oil. Which is exactly why you feel so slippery in the shower with soft water. It also reduces the surface tension of soap. So here’s the kicker. Since it’s applied at room temperature, has a thickness that’s less than 1micron thick (no size change possible), and cannot chip, flake or peel, we now have something that reduces friction and wear with everything that moves. Let’s remember one thing. Every other coating that’s out there (molybdenum, Teflon, DLC’s etc.) don’t actually do anything until things touch. For example, moly coated piston skirts do nothing until they touch the cylinders. A DLC wrist pin also does nothing until the pin touches the small end of the rod, right?

Once you get your arms around this, you realize that going faster (now) is all about “square inches”. The more you have, the faster you go. Or as we joke, ” if I have more than you, I win”. Which is why when it gets serious (as in now) you won’t find a “silver surface” anywhere in the 250 (or a steel ball for that matter). When it comes to racing, we look at it this way. You’re either there to win or there for a fashion show. It you’re there to win, and you can make something better, is there any reason why you wouldn’t?

I’m hoping this is a success, as any developement into 2sts is great news, good luck with it guys and keep us posted. As a life long 2st racer I’m having trouble understanding the 200:1 deal, are all parts treated as piston to cylinder surfaces would not like that ratio ? The bearings I see less troublesome.

Actually the engine runs cooler than normal with the MicroBlue coating.

Yes the coating could be used on the valve bodies of the suspension, it would need to be tested on the fork legs, so that is an unknown. This will be tested in the future

To learn more about how the coatings work, I suggest that you read the information on the MicroBlue web site. http://www.microblueracing.com

As for the cost, it has not been determined yet.

Yes it can be used on chains, which of course increases horsepower. Yes the PT50 chain is coated. There is no reason to coat an axle as nothing spins on it.

How often do things have to be coated? Once! Another benefit… they do not wear out!

And to clarify, the coatings have been tested at leaner ratios… with no problem!

There is one thing that sounds sketchy. I just need to know more about it. What does “This process occurs at the molecular level” mean?

Will this technology ever be available to us average people or just racers? How much would it cost to have our engine superfinished and coated so it can run on 200:1?

Can this coating be used on suspension, axles, chains, etc?

Since the Project Two 50 has been superfinished and coated how often does it have to be re-coated? Every race? Once a season?
