Resembling what? Every modern two-stroke cylinder ever?

He's referring to TPE because of rounded wall for port flow. Obviously it is cast aluminum from seeing that. TPE copied standard snow mobile engine tech for that so it's not proprietary. The interesting thing is where the carb intake is on the cylinder instead of cases. Krash/Kavinci doesn't have a stellar record on new products though so the first customers will have to be brave or naive.
Of course he his, but try to find a cylinder that isn't a billet ski motor that doesn't have big transfer bulges.
Ya I was not aware that design has been used on other engines like a snow mobile, thought it was something TPE came up with.

As long as its not made in their Thailand shop... Color me interested.

When you want to bash a product before it is even seen you are not helping the sport. We all get it, your not happy with some things you have purchased, get over yourself........
Don't buy one and move on with your life
I think most Modern motocross bikes are case inducted @yamanube
@Little_Franny get over it dude I technically only made an observation. If you want me to talk some crap I will. Why don't you call everyone else out in this thread that said somthing negative.

Seeing the way the cylinder is bulged for the transfers on that KV motor, I would say the intake charge comes in from cylinder, down into the cases and up the transfers just like an MX bike.
Since we are sitting here speculating until KV gives us more info...here are some observations I made from their CAD model.
The cases appear to be completely custom, the starter location seems to be similar to a 66E like the TeamScream engines but the flywheel cover bolt pattern is completely different from both the 66E and 62T engines.
The exhaust port and manifold flange seem to be lower in respect to crank centerline, having no idea if this uses 62t cranks or 66e (or other?) it would seem that a custom manifold would be required to run the existing exhaust systems so as not to hit the bedplate/engine mounts and the exhaust port runner will have a much steeper angle.
The carb mounting location is much higher, the model looks odd in that area like the carb and manifold are one piece which I would assume is not the case, likely just lazy modeling BUT will standard height SBNs fit? Off the shelf flame arrestors definitely don't look like they will fit under the hood.

Looks like exhaust has a Transfer type porting, Goes out, down then out to manifold. No way it would run being that low.
