What is the displacement of the STIHL 460/461 chainsaw?

• A. 61.5cc
• B. 76.5cc
• C. 50cc
• D. 90cc

Answer: (B)

Displacement is the engine’s swept volume—the total space the piston moves through in one cycle—measured in cubic centimeters for a chainsaw. It’s a fixed spec that gives a sense of the engine’s size and potential power.

For the STIHL 460/461 line, the official specification lists the displacement as 76.5 cc. This figure is what STIHL publishes on product sheets and manuals, so it’s the benchmark used to compare this model’s engine size with others. The other numbers don’t match STIHL’s published displacement for this model line, which is why they aren’t the correct choice.

A larger displacement like 76.5 cc generally corresponds to more torque and sustained cutting power, especially useful with heavier bar lengths and demanding work.
