Product features

The 50.1 cm³ X-Torq engine delivers a full 4 horsepower with 3.15 Nm of torque, wrapped in a magnesium crankcase. The result is a power-to-weight ratio the rest of the 50cc class is still chasing.
AutoTune automatically adjusts the engine for altitude, temperature, fuel and filter condition — no carburetor screws, no guesswork. Peak performance everywhere, all the time.


A centrifugal air cleaning system removes up to 97% of dust and debris before it reaches the air filter. The filter stays cleaner for longer, the engine runs stronger, and service intervals stretch out.
Effective dampeners between the engine and handles absorb vibration before it reaches your arms and hands — essential when the saw is in your hands all day, every day.

4 horsepower in an 11.7-pound package — nothing else in the 50cc class comes close to this power-to-weight. AutoTune keeps it dialed in from sea level to the mountains.

Cold morning at 6,000 ft, hot afternoon in the valley — never touched a carburetor screw. It just runs perfectly everywhere.

Miguel R.
Redding, CA · Jul 2025
Light, fast-revving and perfectly balanced with the 18-inch bar. Chain speed of 64 ft/s makes limbing feel effortless.

This is built like a pro saw because it is one. Two seasons of daily commercial use and it still feels new.

Paul W.
Verified owner · Jun 2025
Costs more than a Rancher, but if you cut for a living the weight savings and AutoTune pay for themselves in a month.

Trevor B.
Duluth, MN · May 2025
Smart Start, air purge and AutoTune together mean this saw has never needed more than two pulls — even at -10°F.

We run three of these in the crew. Zero downtime in two years.


Erik H. · Bozeman, MT · May 2025
The balance and throttle response are unreal for a saw this light.

Sam O. · Verified owner · Apr 2025
Coming from a 455 Rancher — the 550 XP is lighter, faster and stronger. Noticeable from the first cut.

Cole N. · Asheville, NC · Apr 2025
Saw is flawless. Air Injection helps a ton, just tap the filter out daily and it runs like new.


Wade L. · Verified owner · Mar 2025
Thinning and bucking five days a week. The cooling system keeps power consistent on long pulls.

Ron F. · Helena, MT · Mar 2025
Light enough for aerial work, strong enough for trunk wood. Rare combination.

Alex G. · Verified owner · Feb 2025
Runs logging operations through Maine winters. Never once failed to start.


Jim C. · Bangor, ME · Feb 2025
From the magnesium crankcase to the X-Cut chain, everything about this saw says professional.

Kurt V. · Coeur d'Alene, ID · Jan 2025
Ordered online, local dealer checked it over free. Great experience start to finish.
