4 Stroke vs 2 Stroke Off Road Dirt Bike - Enduro Riding - Part 3

Support us on Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/dirtbikechannel We continue the discussion of four strokes vs two strokes for off road, enduro style riding. This is part 3 of the series on this topic. Please go back and see our other videos for more information. More videos on this subject will follow soon. The more that I've ridden and tested dirt bikes over the years, the more that one thing has been driven home for me. There is no wrong answer to this debate. Sure, the 2 strokes are more fun for me to ride most of the time. Having said that, the 4 strokes certainly have their advantages in certain situations like on a track (I don't ride tracks, so it really doesn't matter to me). Most of the time in the past couple of years, I've had a 2 stroke and a 4 stroke sitting in my garage. The only time I really get tempted to ride my 4 strokes is when I'm heading out to the desert where the speeds are going to be higher and the whoops are going to be deep. If I know I'm heading to tight, technical singletrack... I'm going to take the 2 stroke for sure. I'm a 2 stroke convert because I have ridden 4 strokes since I was a kid. Back in the day, as a child, the 2 strokes scared me since the power was pretty much all or nothing. The big bore 2 strokes are not like this at all. They have tons of low end and mid range power. They are great. Want to help support Dirt Bike Channel?

1. who are you trying to convince you or us?
2. the 2 stroke sound like a dying mosquito
3. Why is your shirt inside out?
4. the only 2 cycle engine I want I'd lawn and garden . leaf blowers chainsaws weed eaters
5. People just don't get when I tell them two strokes don't stall as often like you prove. They say 4 strokes don't need as much clutch !!!!!!! Iam not talking about bogging but stalling ya dame idiots lol
6. love the grunt of a 4 stroke though
7. his yellow shirt is inside out...
8. I believe the manufacturers are spending more money on the R&D on the 4 strokes , than the 2 strokes because of the racing classifications now days , MX bikes are either 125 or 250s ,Dakar are all 4 stroke 450s , so there is becoming a clear industry standard on particular size bikes. 500-650cc bikes don't get that sort of attention or money spent. dr650-klr650 have vintage technology in comparison for this reason.
9. Even my ttr230 is louder than my mates ktm 200
10. I like 4 strokes alot and i would never get a 2 Stroke because i just dont like them. But its ok if you have a 2 stroke, i dont judge people with 2 strokes I just dont like the 2 stroke bikes
11. just stumbled across this vid. sounds like you guys only like 2 strokes because you like the sound. everything else about the 4's you say is better
12. 2 SMOKERS ARE BETTER THAN 4 JOKERS!! but seriously it's all preference
13. i love the sound of a two stroke way more then a four stroke
14. I will like a 2 srto
15. I got a two stroke blaster
16. so I am gonna get a 2stroke maybe. but should I??
17. It's amazing to hear that four strokes have captured the hearts of the people, I grew up with two strokes and to me they sound so mean it gets my adrenaline flowing. Where as four strokes sound way too tame!! Just my personal bias!!!!
18. I love both! Four strokes torque in low rpm and the sound:3 Easy to wheelie! Twostrokes powerband and easy to fix! Both are awesome!
19. 4ts are louder for sure, unless you ride a stk xr400r. our group has a smattering of ktm2ts and a kdx 220 and you might think ,yeah you can hear theese things, then my son in law came with us on a yz250f , stk exhaust. lets just say you never had to wonder where he was in the woods.
20. Well i am a dirtbiker but i think they both sound great
