V-Twin Engines
A V-Twin engine is a type of internal combustion engine that features two cylinders arranged in a V shape. This design allows for a compact engine size while providing a good balance of power and torque. V-Twin engines are commonly found in motorcycles, particularly those made by brands like Harley-Davidson and Indian Motorcycle.
The V-Twin configuration can vary in terms of angle, typically ranging from 45 to 90 degrees. This angle affects the engine's performance and sound. V-Twin engines are known for their distinctive rumble and are favored for their strong low-end torque, making them ideal for cruising and touring applications.
