Introduction We have heard about two and four stroke engines. Two stroke engines got its name from the fact that the required strokes are completed in one revolution. In short there is one power stroke in one revolution. In the case of four stroke engines the four strokes are completed in two revolutions, or there is a power stroke in two revolutions. Then how about a six stroke engine. The name of the engine has nothing to do with the number of revolutions or anything of that sort. This engine got its name due to its construction. A six stroke engine derived its name from the fact that it is a mixture of two and four stroke engine. This engine is a radical hybridization of two and four stroke engines. This engine combines the top portion of two stroke engine and the bottom rather the middle section of a four stroke engine.These types of engines have many advantages compared to OHC four stroke engines. They are as follows  1) Increased torque and power output2) Better fuel economy3) Cleaner burning with reduced emission4) Longer service intervals5) Reduced tooling costs            Six stoke engines were developed in the year 1998 by Malcolm Beare. This technology is under going tremendous research works for improving the six stroke or Beare technology as it is popularly known. This type of engine is not commonly available because of two main reasons1. This technology is patented by Ducati2. Research works are going on for improvement of this technology
