but owell. I was wondering why most of all the FMX riders are riding 2 stroke. Can some one tell me the difference of doing freestyle with a 2 stroke and a 4 stroke??

 

[haltoman]

mainly because 2 strokes are lighter and easier to manuever in the air.

yea a 2 stroke engine produces more power so it doesnt have to be as big.

being lighter it they have less inertia so its easier to move them

Who cant resist a 2 stroke anyways :D

 

[XRpredator]

it's because they don't have enough skill to do what they do on a 4-stroke

No, actually none of them did. The real reason is that with any 4 stroke, letting off the throttle in the air is similar to hittin the rear brake...it drops the front end. With a 2 stroke they can take their hands off the bars without the bars falling away from them in the air.
