The 8.6:1 compression ratio is 14% lower than the average utility Side by Side. A higher compression ratio is desirable because it means an engine can do the same amount of work with less fuel, leading to increased efficiency and power for a given engine size; high compression ratios are indicative of high performance.
Its carbureted fuel delivery system ensures a lower maintenance engine than one with EFI, but this simplicity comes at the cost of lower efficiency and higher emissions.
