Combining advanced technology
with experienced craftsmanship, Subaru Robin’s
EX Series engines are leading the industry.
With four models ranging from 4.5- to 9-horsepower, these engines are superior to competitors in the same class. After all,
it’s the first air-cooled engine line to use advanced chain-driven overhead cam (OHC) technology to ensure more power, less
noise and easy, one-pull starting every time.
KEY FEATURES
BENEFITS
Subaru Robin’s EX Series engines take technology to the extreme. Using chain-driven
overhead cam (OHC) technology, these workhorses provide maximum efficiency,
performance and power, along with minimal noise and emissions.
Extremely easy starting with no kick-back:
• An automatic decompression system offers easier starting, reducing the required pulling force
by 30 to 40 percent.
• EX engines start instantly even at temperatures as cold as -10 C without any
perceptible kick-back.
These engines take a lot of abuse, which is why they were built with
longevity in mind. A cooler running design and heavy-duty interior parts
ensure maximum uptime. When maintenance is performed, EX Series
engines require no special tools and have high parts commonality
between models.
More power means superior performance:
• Pent roof combustion chamber allows for a high compression ratio of up to 9:1.
Less noise:
• 33 percent fewer moving valve train parts than OHV designs and reduced mechanical
noise ensures noise levels a full 2 dbA below competitive models.
• The patent-pending cooling design features a slanted cylinder
and 360-degree airflow around both the exhaust and intake
valve stem areas.
• Heavy-duty piston rings and a cast-iron cylinder liner resist
wear and ensure a long engine life.
• A case-hardened steel timing chain allows for precision timing
and maximum durability.
