Sky Power introduces another engine with power increase

After the SP-210 FI TS ROS, the German engine specialist presents another engine from its portfolio with a significant increase in power. The SP-170 FI TS ROS is now available with a power increase of 1.7 kW (2.4 hp). “As with the SP-210 FI TS ROS, we can offer an upgrade to customers who are already using this engine”, explains Karsten Schudt, CEO of Sky Power GmbH. All SP-170 FI TS ROS, which were produced until beginning of May 2023, were equipped with 10 kW. The optimized SP-170 FI TS ROS delivers 11.7 kW. After a run in and with some additional system upgrades, even older SP-170 FI TS ROS engines will provide these performance data. System upgrades to the previous engine include technical adjustments and a different engine mapping. The engine weight remains the same.
