The Tillotson Rings for the standard 68mm bore is 45% low tension that stock tension rings. 

Unlike other low tension rings that are heat sacked to make low tension the Tillotson Rings are designed and factory-built for the best quality low tension rings on the market. These rings fit most 196 clones(Tillotson 196R, Ducar 196, BSP 196)If using in an original Honda GX200 or GX160 you must use the clone piston as the Clone rings may not fit the Honda piston.
