OK so I've always thought that the super pocket bikes shared identical engines to every other 110 pit bike, ATV, etc. but recently I'm noticing horsepower claims for 14-16 hp. I know some sellers just throw out false numbers to sound good, but is there any merit to this? I've owned a 110 super before & couldn't tell much difference in power, but maybe mine was wore out? It's not just one site advertising this either or I would ignore it.

The reason I ask is because I have the opportunity to score an X18 cheap just so I can have kick start capabilities on one of my quads I'm building, but if they honestly put out more power then I'm a happy camper. Can't be true though right? If it is then what's so different that doubles the power?

I have seen some pretty well built clone engines. They have alot of work done to them. 4 valve heads etc.

I could see 14hp from a pure race built engine.
