The first two, IMHO, are too large for these small engines unless you are going full on race mode, without a stuffer they create a lot of turbulence. They are also difficult to get sealed. I have had OZ reeds on two engines, and aside from the reeds themselves sometimes being hit or miss with the quality, I have never been disappointed with them. Honestly, my only complaint with them is that they only tend to come with straight intakes. It would be nice if they could make an angled style for tight frames.
Between the G2 and Dio, I personally like the Dio more.

The OZ is what yhe phantom has correct?
Yes, the body is a little different from the typical OZ reeds sold on ebay/Amazon, but the reed and gaskets themselves are the same.

Ok, I agree. The others are way too big for any application other than race bikes
They aren't perfect either. Each design has it's ups and downs. The OZ is just a decent size for most 50-80cc engines with up to 18-20mm carburetors. They do start to become a restriction for higher RPM/ high horsepower builds, but for the average guy with a typical engine build, they work great.
