Desmodromic Engine
Desmodromic Engine
(OP)
Has there been any more work on the Desmodromic engine? The Ducati and the JAP bike engines proved it would work. I once saw a lab engine with the desmo valve setup and it was eerie how easy the engine turned over when there was no valve friction on the camshaft.

I am not sure that I see a big future for desmo; VVA and camless is where the future lies.

I read an article about the Desmo several years ago and was wondering about the state of the art. It was quite unique.
