Cheetah Cub or CUB


Recommended Posts

So there is NOT a such thing as a straight cheetah? There is only a cheetah cub, super cub & regular cub. I was thinking that they made a cheetah, cheetah super cub & cheetah cub....I'm thinking they all had the first name of cheetah. :shrugani:

cheeta was the first cylinder for the banshee from cp industries.

 

cheeta is optinal with power valves, a modern head with modern stud spacing for mucho better head seal, 250r reeds , and much simpler o-ring design, they are also very wide at the base and most all of them require top case filling for any kind of port matching. used to be they were available in 65mm all the way to 75mm bore and stock stroke to 16mm stroke. they are not as popular because of the cost of them. in my OPINION they are the best cylinder overall for the banshee available. they can produce low end like a serval with top end like a cub. they dont have as much issue with head sealing as a cub or super cub

welp the truth is you run a squish like an oem cylinder can handle and a cub and super cub will warp the head and eat the o-rings and probably blow the motor up. this problem has been kinda fixed with really loose squish band (48 tho and up) and a really reinforced head for the super cub..

 

the cheetas never had a o-ring issue. some did have similar dome learning curve problems that resulted in dome issue's my 2 cheetas have had the same comp o-rings in them for the last 5 years..

 

the problem is not as likey to happen IF you are carefull with the build using a proper head on super cubs, strong studs on both, and proper dome setups is really the key to them survivng. its just for the $$$ you should really consider all yoru options it is hard to chose a cylinder these days.. at least with all the CP industies stuff available. and others like twister, la/sleeve/ESR, t-rex, and vito's out there.. BUT even with those issues i'd still consider a cub, or cheeta, or wompus cylinder to be at the top of the list.
