Sarolea 31 S 500cc Supersport
OHV, 80.5x97mm, 3-speed gearbox, weight 138kg
Produced from 1931 to 1936
Developed from the 24U (which was also known as the 30S in 1930), it was very similar to the 494cc OHV 31R. The major difference was the new engine, a "sloper" with a wet sump eliminating the need for the oil tank found on earlier incarnations. A 600cc version, the S6, was introduced in 1932.



Sarolea 31 R 500cc Corse
Successor to the 30 R, it was much the same as the 31 S with the has the new inclined wet-sump engine, and had several changes to improve its racing performance (the R is for Racing).
