The original variator rollers for the Jog i weigh 14 grams. Relevant information about variator rollers is as follows: Basic introduction to variator rollers: One of the rotating components in scooters, variator rollers (also called moving rollers, capable of radial movement) are affected by engine speed. As the speed gradually increases, the variator rollers are subjected to outward centrifugal force that overcomes the resistance of the large spring, causing them to move radially outward along the sliding groove. This increases the force pressing against the axially moving driven plate, enlarges the working radius, reduces the diameter of the driven plate, thereby changing the transmission ratio. Function of variator rollers: If the variator rollers are heavier, the vehicle's power performance during acceleration is not ideal, resulting in sluggish acceleration and longer time required to reach high speeds. However, when the rollers slide to the outer edge of the variator pulley, they generate greater inertia, causing the engine to operate at lower RPM during prolonged high-speed cruising, which improves fuel efficiency.
