Another 'nothing but the truth' vid from http://crosstrainingenduro.com/ Smoker or stroker? Grunt or braaaap? This unbiased review of two strokes and four strokes will help decide on which number of strokes suits you, and we don't mean that in a sexual way. Opinions were sought from some of the world's best noobs, rednecks, dickheads and village idiots if you are asking 'should i buy a two stroke?' or 'should i buy a four stroke?'

There was a huge difference between the way a 4 stroke and a 2 stroke dirt bike performed. Two stroke motorcycles dominated the motocross and supercross classes because of their high performance and light weight. While the heavier, less nimble thumpers performed at their best in the enduro and trail circuits. Though, they still had to compete against the mad-men that were willing to strap themselves to a 500cc 2 stroke screamer. The four strokes have fast become the dominating force on motocross tracks. Why? Well it seems there are a number of debatable reasons. The power to weight ratio on 4 strokes is much better than it used to be, so a 450cc four stroke is now a lot closer to the weight of a 250cc two stroke and puts out an impressive amount of speed and power. Back in the early 90's four strokes were heavy beasts and were considerably slower than the two's. With the new and improved thumpers, many people find them easier to ride with their smooth, tractable power delivery. But on the other hand, a lot of riders don't actually want that. They want the thrill, noise and adrenalin of a powerband that only a two stroke can serve up. So why have some companies stopped making 2 strokes? Some people believe (and blame) the format of the AMA and large companies such as Honda that have had a heavy influence over the major Championship races that dictate the specifications of bikes that are allowed to compete against each other. Is this the reality behind why we have witnessed the decline of the popular two strokes? Here is an overview of the potential advantages and disadvantages of going four stroke or two stroke. TWO STROKE BENEFITS More powerful per cc Lighter Less likely to stall at low revs Less likely to overheat at low speed Quieter over a distance Cheap top end overhaul & do-it-yourself Cheaper to buy when new TWO STROKE DRAWBACKS Less economical and more pollution You need to premix oil Snappy response can make traction hard Front end can be twitchy & easily deflected Much less engine brake More engine noise for the rider Top end rebuilds are more frequent FOUR STROKE BENEFITS Smooth power delivery good for traction Better fuel economy & less pollution Engine braking is good for beginners Less snappy response good for beginners Engine noise is quieter for the rider Less frequent top end rebuilds Extra weight gives a 'planted' feel FOUR STROKE DOWNSIDE Expensive & time-consuming top end rebuilds Heavier Easier to overheat at low speed Much more likely to stall at low revs Exhaust noise travels much further Cross training context There are many things that can complicate the choice between a two stroke and four stroke.
