125 or 250 for FMX

[FunkyD]

For FMX, do the pros use 125 or 250 2t's. The 125s are lighter while the 250s have more power, so is it just personal preference?

250's. You can't tell by the sound? 125's aren't THAT much lighter and have much less power.

They use 250s. They need that snap in the ramp which a 125 can't provide.

HA! Tell that to Travis...

I've seen 250's, 125's and 4 strokes used. They all have what it takes to launch a ramp. It's the rider that has to provide the required testicular fortitude.

:) :cool: I agree.

250 2 strokes are the most common. But what the other guy said is also true

Of course, but it is easiest done on a 250. I've seen a couple of freestyle riders on 250Fs. Travis could probably jump with a weed eater, there's really nothing he didn't do on two wheels.

Or 4 wheels! The guys nuts on anything with wheels!

So why would you use a 250f if it has around the power of a 125 and is heavier than a 250 2t?
