Twingle

nounShop talkAutomotive

A parallel-twin motorcycle engine timed so both cylinders fire simultaneously.

A specific engine configuration where a four-stroke, two-cylinder engine is modified or designed to have both pistons reach top dead center on the compression stroke at the same time. This creates a single, massive power pulse mimicking the torque delivery and exhaust note of a large single-cylinder engine.
