Video: Two- or four-stroke KTM?

This time we compared two seemingly very similar KTMs that even belong to the same racing class, with the difference that the former is equipped with a 250cc two-stroke engine. M, and the second - a four-stroke engine with a capacity of 450 cc. What's better?

In enduro, especially in the extreme motorsport industry, two-stroke engines are still a very popular tool for achieving excellent results in racing. But what are the differences that the average hobbyist feels and how much is known about his wallet?

With the help of Matevzh Irta, we compared the 250 EXC and the 450 EXC on a motocross track, went to the field the next day and then asked the official service what the difference was in service. A little advice is to maintain a two-stroke engine, according to the data from the table of recommended maintenance and prices from Slovenian sellers, more than once cheaper!

For tables with euro numbers, more photographs and a more detailed explanation of the differences between the two motorcycles, read the five pages of Avto magazine's 25th issue, which will be released on December 3, 12.
