Performance R21-M5 vs R21-M6:
- The M5 has normal high timing numbers in the crankshaft and piston liner - the R21-M6 has more timing everywhere (more peak power but narrower power-band).
- The M5 is the highest performance out-of-the box engine for hydroplanes with direct-drive (2025 iMBRA Hydro World Champion).
- In Endurance and Offshore, the R21-M5 is easier to set-up as it's less peaky and have more torque vs the R21-M6.
