What saw has the highest power to lowest weight ratio ?
It used to be the the Dolmar 7900.
Classes are,
40cc =
50cc =

For me my favourite is a 241-it can punch well above its weight

There is a chart somewhere on this.

I think right this second it is anMS661.

Something around 2 lbs/1 hp

Maybe Dolly 7900 is right there with it.

50cc = MS261C vII

I don't know off the top of my head. I just know that it's lighter than the 550XP, 346XP, and 5105.

Ok. Sure.

Or better yet, what are you asking? Best power to weight ratio or lightest saw with good power? They are not the same thing and that answer is so subjective that I do not have enough popcorn to wait for the definitive answer.

Best power to weight ratio in each class of saw.

Well then the chart answers your question for pro saws.

 

[Matt Hogden]

Ok this answers it for the larger capacities.
Still need figures for
40cc
50cc
60cc saws

I was going to offer the Stihl 660 or 661. Then I thought about my Makita 6401 with its BBK, about the same as a Dolmar 7900. Not sure any stock saw out there beats either one. However, then there's my vintage Stihl 064 ...

I like the Husky 350 with a 346 topend and a muffler mod, my favorite 50 cc saw for sure. And most of my saws are Stihl!

Wow those dolmars are impressive. I love running my 372. I can’t imagine what that must be like. More than a whole HP!

ms 241 = 42.6 cc and is a awesome saw for its size and weighs 4.5 kg without bar, fuel or bar oil

Not many folks run 681 Solo's, they're out of the game these days but those who own them know which saw wins the P:W ratio debate...

I gots me one of those also. It came to me from a guy who goes by t4driller who had just put the NE top end on it and ported it. Man what a screamer. Got the intake tract from a 357. It's a seriously fun saw to operate.
