two-cylinder
Double piston engine
A two-cylinder engine has exactly two pistons that move up and down to generate power, making it smaller and lighter than engines with more cylinders.
These engines appear in motorcycles, small cars, lawn equipment, and boats where compact size and simplicity matter more than raw power.
The term functions as an adjective: a two-cylinder motorcycle, the old two-cylinder tractor.
