New Fuel Injected Rotax Engine Announced

BRP Launches The Rotax 912 iS

A new variant of the much used (and abused) Rotax 912 has been announced... this one, fuel injected.

Enhancements include a modern fuel injection system and digital engine control unit (ECU) in order ensure optimal fuel and air mixture at any altitude for longer flight range, lower operating costs and CO2 emission reduction.
