Before anyone starts losing their shit I thumb'd up and love everything mx but serious clickbait a 2 stroke hero would've screamed to the lead, this guy is hanging around mid to rear of the pack still nice vid 2 stroke life is the best life
Ree Toliver every engine has it's ups and downs but if you must ask, compared to two strokes, four strokes are more expensive to upgrade, maintain, and fix, especially 250fs as they make most power close to rev limiter. That's why we hear so much limiter on 250fs when guys are racing, and that is very detrimental to the moving parts making the bikes very prone to blowing up. Four strokes make 40% less power and 33% less torque. And not to mention they are less exciting to ride. Since the four stroke movement, numbers of riders at the track has continually declined through the years and that's directly related to not only the higher cost of racing, but also the higher cost of a four stroke race bike.
The tech in 2 strokes hasnt really progressed in years whereas 4 stroke has seen efi, mapable ignition timing etc. The 2 ktm 2 strokes in the arenacross series seem to be struggling. And imho, its nothing to do with the riders
ok....can 2 strokes be developed further? i think ktm has done a little development and there is a market still for 2 strokes but i do remember reading once where one of the japanese manufacturers said that they would no longer make 2 strokes as they had no future.They said that when they develop and put funds into a 4 stroke engine the technology can be utilised across the board from 4 stroke bikes to jet ski's to lawn mowers..etc
mickpork all depends on what type of racing, in gncc and woods racing you see a fair mix of 2 and 4 strokes and in many cases the 2 strokes are better in the woods than a 4 stroke.
He might not be at the front but well worth the watch! Good vid.
I like to see that even the 2 strokes can race with the 4 strokes🍌🍌🥑
He was one position ahead of last place I wouldnt say that he was hanging with the 450s
BRAAAAAPPPP..😎

I was hoping this was james
We've got a sweet little vid with James coming soon!
are the 2 strokes no longer competitive in racing?
mickpork the current CC rules kind of forced them to not be.
I like 2 strokes but the 4 strokes were way ahead...
