Vittorazi MY25 Generation - What Makes the New Paramotor Models So Special?
The MY25 powered paraglider and paramotor engines from Vittorazi set new standards in performance, safety and reliability in paramotor flying
EGT & CHT Temperature Sensors - Maximum Safety
All Vittorazi MY25 engines feature modern EGT (Exhaust Gas Temperature) and CHT (Cylinder Head Temperature) sensors. These continuously monitor engine temperatures and warn early of overheating. This dramatically increases safety and extends engine life. Especially important for long flights, thermal flying or high ambient temperatures.
Advantage: Timely warning at critical temperatures prevents engine damage and increases reliability to a new level.
E-Start Electric Starter - Comfort & Safety
The Vittorazi Moster 185 Plus, Moster 185 EFI and Cosmos 300 engines of the MY25 generation come standard with electric E-Start. No more strenuous pull starting - engine starts at the push of a button. Especially practical for wind starts, at altitude or in cold temperatures. The Atom 80 MY25 stays with the proven pull start to keep weight minimal (only 10.4 kg).
Applications: Perfect for older pilots, flight schools, frequent starts or when quick go-around is required.
Optimized Cooling - Longer Engine Life
The MY25 engines have an improved cooling system with optimized air flow. This ensures more even temperatures, reduces wear and allows longer full-load phases without risk of overheating. Especially important for tandem flights, heavy pilots or long climb flights.
Result: Up to 30% longer lifespan, less maintenance, more reliable operation even under extreme conditions.
Improved Carburetors & Exhaust Systems
Vittorazi has retuned the carburetors on all MY25 models for better throttle response, smoother idle and optimal consumption. The exhaust systems have been acoustically optimized - MY25 engines run quieter and more refined than previous models, without loss of performance.
Fuel consumption: Moster 185: approx. 3.5-4.5 L/h | Atom 80: approx. 2.0-2.5 L/h | Cosmos 300: approx. 5.0-6.0 L/h at full throttle.
Moster 185 EFI - The Future is Electronic
The Vittorazi Moster 185 EFI MY25 with electronic fuel injection is the most technologically advanced paramotor engine in the world. EFI technology automatically adjusts the fuel-air mixture to altitude, temperature and air pressure. Result: Perfect performance from sea level to 3,000m, no carburetor tuning needed, better cold start, smoother running.
Ideal for: Alpine flyers, cross-country pilots, high-altitude flights, flights in changing climates.

- Budget range (€2,000–3,000): Basic 2-stroke engines with pull start
- Mid-range (€3,000–5,000): Powerful engines with E-Start like the Vittorazi Moster 185 Plus MY25
- Premium range (€5,000–7,000): High-end engines with carbon, EFI or racing specification like the Vittorazi Moster 185 EFI MY25
- Total cost of paramotoring: Engine (€2,990–6,890) + Harness/Frame (€2,500–5,000) + Wing (€2,000–4,500) + Reserve (€750–1,500) + Training (€2,000–4,000). Entry from approx. €10,000–15,000 possible.
What is the best paramotor engine for beginners?
For paramotor beginners we recommend based on pilot weight:
- Light pilots (50–75 kg): Vittorazi Atom 80 MY25 – at only 10.4 kg the lightest paramotor engine in its class. Perfect for getting started in paramotoring.
- Standard pilots (60–95 kg): Vittorazi Moster 185 Plus MY25 – the best-selling paramotor engine in the world. Reliable, easy to maintain, with E-Start for comfortable starting.
- Heavy pilots (100–140 kg): Vittorazi Cosmos 300 MY25 – 36 HP for maximum power and safe launching.
Tip: Complete your paramotor training first at a certified flight school. The school can also help you choose the right engine for your flying style.
Do you need a license to fly a paramotor?
Yes, in most countries you need a pilot license for paramotoring:
- Germany: SPL (Sport Pilot License) via DULV-certified flight school
- Training: Theoretical and practical examination required
- Duration: Approx. 3–6 months of training
- Cost: €2,000–4,000 for complete training
Tip: Many flight schools provide rental equipment. Buy your paramotor engine after training – then you'll know which engine suits your flying style.
Is a used paramotor engine worth it?
Used paramotor engines can be 30–50% cheaper, but come with risks:
- Unknown operating hours and maintenance history
- Wear parts potentially at their limit
- No dealer warranty
Advantage of buying new: All Vittorazi MY25 engines come with 2-year warranty, full maintenance history and the latest technical improvements. From €2,990 (Atom 80) the entry is affordable.
Why are Vittorazi engines 2-stroke?
All Vittorazi paramotor engines use proven 2-stroke technology. Here's why:
- Power-to-weight: 2-stroke engines deliver significantly more HP per kilogram than 4-stroke engines
- Weight: A Vittorazi Moster 185 weighs only 14.4 kg at 25 HP – a comparable 4-stroke engine weighs 25–30 kg
- Simplicity: Fewer moving parts, easier and cheaper maintenance
With EFI technology (Moster 185 EFI), Vittorazi combines the advantages of the 2-stroke engine with modern electronic fuel injection for optimal consumption and performance.
