Reliable Power. Proven Performance.
The Predator 212cc Gasoline Engine is the undisputed champion when it comes to small engine performance. Used in countless drift trike, mini bike, and go-kart builds, this engine is renowned for its raw power, reliability, and ease of maintenance. Whether you are replacing a stock motor or building a custom machine from scratch, the Predator 212 delivers the torque and acceleration you need for an adrenaline-filled ride.
Unmatched Performance
This 4-stroke, single-cylinder, air-cooled OHV engine produces an impressive 6.5 HP at 3600 RPM and 9.0 ft-lbs of torque at 2500 RPM [citation:5]. It features a reliable recoil start and an automatic low-oil sensor for added safety [citation:10]. Its horizontal shaft design makes it the ideal choice for direct-drive torque converter or clutch setups.
The 212cc engine is the most popular upgrade for those looking to double their power or build an incredible custom trike. It is a proven, reliable engine that offers excellent fuel efficiency, operating at approximately 100 MPG in many applications [citation:5].
Proven Durability & Easy Maintenance
The Predator 212 is built to withstand the rigors of daily riding and high-performance use. It features a cast-iron cylinder bore for long service life and is designed with simple mechanics that any enthusiast can maintain [citation:2].
To keep your engine running at peak performance, we recommend following a simple maintenance schedule: change the oil every 10-20 hours of operation, clean or replace the air filter after riding in dusty conditions, and check the spark plug every 50-100 hours [citation:8].
The Ultimate Upgrade Platform
One of the main reasons the Predator 212 is loved by builders is its massive aftermarket support. Even in stock form, it provides exceptional performance for a 212cc engine, often outperforming its competitors like the Honda GX200 [citation:9].
For riders looking for more power, we offer Stage 1 and Stage 2 upgrades. By installing a performance exhaust, air filter, and a billet flywheel, you can unlock well over 15 horsepower [citation:8]. The engine is a blank canvas waiting for your imagination.
