The X-Wing is what's known as an "intake tract". Designed to move more air into the engine, it does this by creating a smoother flow of air similar to airflow over an airplane's wing -- also known as laminar flow. If an engine can get enough air when it needs it, it'll have more power, and annoyances such as throttle hesitation are less likely to occur. Intake tracts have been around for a while now, but it took Boyesen to perfect them to their current level of performance.
If you've kept up with Boyesen's product line, you know the X-Wing is the latest version of their Power Wing. Not just a re-release with a "spanky" name, the X-Wing is a noticeable improvement over the original Wing in terms of power and torque.
Effective on two-strokes from idle to mid-range, and on four-strokes from idle to top end, this little piece of anodized aluminum is made for a number of street and off-road motorcycles. In fact they make these for various snowmobiles, quads, outboard motors, scooters, and just about anything that isn't a car or truck.
These are simple to install and relatively inexpensive for the increase in throttle response and extra torque they provide. Definitely a worthwhile performance add-on.
