A V-twin engine is a type of internal combustion engine that features two cylinders arranged in a V configuration. 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 Ducati, as well as in some ATVs and snowmobiles. The V-twin configuration can vary in terms of angle, typically ranging from 45 to 90 degrees. This angle affects the engine's performance characteristics, including its sound and vibration. V-twin engines are known for their distinctive rumble and are favored for their strong low-end torque, making them ideal for various applications.
