Made by Tony Ducas of DC Engineering in the United States, the Hy-tech racing reeds are a well established favourite in the two stroke engine market and come in two varieties.

The standard fibre reed, orange in colour, or the new longer lasting black coloured carbon fibre CF series racing reed for longer life.

The purpose of a fibre reed valve as compared to the original equipment steel reed valve is principally to avoid engine destruction on a reed failure but the new Hy-tech racing reeds actually improve horse power andthrottle response on most engines throughout their lifetime. Upon eventual failure, Hy-tech racing reeds cause zero engine damage due to the low mechanical strength of the reed fibre.
