Total Power

This shows the predicted power curve for the Aprillia RSW125 and TZ250 1996 engines.

Power Range for the Two Engines

The "Power Range" is a concept developed by Frits Overmars and used to compare two or more engines by comparing not just available power but also the rpm band this usable power is in. The next graph shows that the RSW125 engine has more power available for all feasible power ranges than the TZ250 engine:

Power Range RPM Band

A spin-off of the Power Range concept is that it also gives the best maximum shift rpm and a minimum value the rpms should fall to:
