If Daystate dont even show it on their www, then it must be pretty new!

Maybe they updated from a 3 piston to a true 4 piston and all the advantages of the MCH-6?
87lbs for the current Coltri MCH6.
83lbs for the new Coltri Icon (report seems to indicate lighter castings & lighter motor).
64lbs for the new Daystate T3.
What else is different on the T3 to account for a much lower weight?
Another interesting spec is the noise level. The new Icon is noisier than the MCH6. 94db vs 91db.

I'll bet you $$$ for donuts that it's a 110V motor and as such is @1,1kW or 1½hp. That gives a much lighter motor and the stated weight savings.

The 110v motor at 1.1kw will draw just as much current as the 220v motor at 2.2kw. They will need equal amounts of copper windings. So voltage can't be the reason for being "much lighter". The 110v MCH3 weighs about the same as the 220v MCH6.
It is possible that they reduced the thickness of the crankcase walls, frame, and motor housing for weight reduction. That might also be why it's noisier.
