KTM 300 2 stroke vs 4 stroke

Just showing a couple of 4 strokers how to get up a slippery hill climb by riding the bike up instead of pushing it up :)

Hmmmm, maybe I should adopt an accent whilst I ride, 2 strokes forever!

@Bea7sauRuss Hahaha, 2-strokes rock in any language.

yeah boys push them 4 strokes!!!!

[ian9toes]

@parisTDR250 Hahahahaha! I think all the 2-stroke fans love that bit of commentary. I can't wait to get my beast going again, and try and get some more footage of 2-stroke domination, just so I can yell at them as I go past, "push them 4-strokes boys" :)

"push them 4 strokes"

Awesome. 2-strokes rock.

@ian9toes waiting for another video!!

@samsgina not in the US buddy

@ian9toes ...cont. The only thing I see ever touching a 2-stroke for efficiency is a rotory motor, which never has to bring a piston to a complete stop and then reverse it's direction. If they could perfect rotaries, they would be far more efficient. But from what I understand they lose efficiency with sealing isues. It seems despite their obvious advantages they can't compete with the sealing of a piston ring against a cylinder wall.

@samsgina That will never happen, 2-strokes will always be the superior motor for power to weight ratio, and the technology already exists for them to be the superior motor for fuel economy and emisions. In fact the most economical motor in the world is a 2-stroke turbo diesel, a 100 000 horse power ship engine. It is no conicidence they chose a 2-stroke when aiming for efficiency, it has far less moving parts and half as many changes in piston momentum per power stroke. cont...

@parisTDR250 haha. Everyone talks about the traction of 4-strokes which is obviously true or they wouldn't have the reputation they do. But, the slipperier and more extreme the conditions get, I'd choose a 2-banger any day, because the modern 4-strokes can't sit at a low enough RPM where you need to be if you want to apply a minimum amount of torque to the rear wheel. The 4-strokes have nothing at idle and when they come into the power it is too abrupt, no smoothness off the bottom.
