mm!2 stroke is way better then wankle take a 500cc two stroke in good condition and it beat wankle 4 stroke etc.why you think there arent anymore 2 stroke lol.the biggest issue was never performance in a 2 stroke it was the life of them
average rebuild oh every 2 year if you dont use it a lot.most had to be rebuilt every year but not many motorcycle engine can outdo a 2 stroke engine if you add turbo to it .grin!!
the wankel engine isnt a 4 stroke engine. In the wankel engine every stroke ignites petrol, wheres a 2 stroke only produces one egnition per two strokes etc. the wankel is a rotary engine and because the valve is a strange triangular thing it has makes up 3 compartments and one is always igniting petrol. Id post a picture but i can't :)
Therefore the NRV should be first of the start but probably first in the garage too (reliability has always been an issue). but that doesnt matter on a race bike
Rubbish, nonsense..Please see any childs book on engine theory. Sorry, wankel=4 stroke. A two stroke engine has twice as many working strokes pr rev than a 4-stroke. The big difference is that two of the strokes in the process takes place under the piston. A wankel goes though the same cycle as a 4-stroke.
Not really, forget the crankrevs and look at each "cylinder" of the rotor, the rotor represents 3 individual cylinders and pistons. Each "piston goes through all 4 stages. Went the Wankel was introduced it was called a "4 stroke engine".
Question: If you have a single cylinder 4 stroke engine that is driving an output shaft with half the speed of the crank, would it be a 2-stroke? nah..same goes with the wankel.
@drbaltazar the only performance problem with a 2 stroke is there acceleration off the line what they call 'waiting on the pipe' i believe. a wankel is far more superior of an engine as far as dynamics goes.
mate, the nrv is a rotary engine like the mazda rx8. its not 2 stroke or 4 stroke. check wikipedia for definition under wankel engine( i kid you not !)
He tried but unfortunately was unable to complete the required 2 laps to qualify the bike, in fact it didn't complete a single lap in practice. The first problem apparently was due to lubrication problems and the second was apparently an unsecured brake fluid reservoir cap !! (Unbelieveable at that level) However they were granted permission to do a "parade lap" with TM's. Next year hopefully eh ? ;)
instead of a reciprocating piston engine like all conventional bikes, this has a triangular rotor inside an oval chamber - the combustion on each of the 3 sides/faces causes it to rotate - hence the name... type it into google if u want a diagram :)
finally, someone that has a clue about how engines work on youtube!!!
a rotary has combustion on every side of the rotor and every rotation of the rotor, very very efficient! unlike a 4 stroke engine that has a lot of wasted energy in moving the pistons between combustion cycles.
don't get me wrong, i am a rotary fanatic. but a recripricating engine doesnt lose as much power as you would think it does on a stroke. the crank balances it out pretty well. if you have ever spun a crank inside a block with the cylinder head removed you will know what i mean. it take very little effort to spin the crank
but i am with you, the wankel motor just seems more logical, all the power is going in the same direction, no up and down / start and stop. ROTARY POWER FTW
yea but using a rotary engine in a bike will mean no engine braking,= much slower corner speeds and eventualy lead to gettng beaten round a track even if the bike goes like stink.?
theres a ? at the end i was stating something i had heard and was questioning it, but i never though about 2strokes having less engine breaking i have a mito and a yamaha yzf r125 and there evenly matched on corners, mito rapes on straights tho.
yep, im sure thats not true. i suppose you could argue that you could argue that big egine braking could make you unstable at apex, but good throttle control will sort that.
Primarily chassis, tyres, suspension, track surface ground clearance and your right hand wll dictate corner speed.
At nearly 1.8L it still couldnt compete with a 500cc two stroke engine.

Wouldn't it be fair to call it a 3 stroke as it's 3 stages per crank revolution?

I checked on the website and it is the Race bike that makes 170hp. I want to know the street bike. my guess is around 130hp.

They are also busy with a 700cc engine. With 200+ hp.

engine braking means nothign to corner speeds.
two stroke 125's have minimal engine braking and they have spectacular mid corner speeds.
singles have huge engine braking but you dont see them beating everything round a track solely due to this point.
