I would NOT recommend the Pauter X-Beam rods.

The ideal shape of a rod is the I-beam design, and from a strength to weight ratio the I beam will always the best design.

Don’t let anybody fool you into thinking H beam rods are better by design either. They may be thicker and therefore stronger but they are not as efficient as a proper I beam design.

The X beam design is the WORST of both worlds and purely a marketing gimmick by Pauter. Those rods are super heavy, and since the forces on your crankshaft rise with the square of the speed this is a bad move for a high reving engine such as yours.

I would recommend you find a nice forged set of I-Beam rods.

:rofl “marketing gimmick”

I can’t imagine such a reputable company going out on a limb, sacrificing quality and performance, to create a marketing gimmick
