As per Rick.

They have very short lightweight pistons, short stroke and relatively big bore. They also have very light flywheels

At the top end, they generally don't use hydraulic lifters (to make sure they can open fully in such a short period). Some even postively pull the valves closed instead of purely relying on spring to close them.

It's cool engineering!
