Company in a press release said, “The engine uses innovative solutions such as the active evacuation and forced lubrication of the crankcase to ensure 10,000 km (6,200 miles) service intervals. Smooth power delivery is guaranteed by the state-of-the-art four-valve cylinder head with its twin spark ignition. With the single overhead camshaft technology allowing for more exact valve timing at higher engine speeds, Husqvarna engineers added an extra 1000 rpm of usable power to the engine. For increased comfort and less vibrations the engine also features a second counter balancer shaft.”
