[QUOTE="cujet, post: 689222, member: 19501"] At a recent event, I had to rescue 5 riders on a difficult, steep, technical hill. My (very tractable) Husky 360WXC was able to climb the hill in first gear low RPM, however it was at the limit of it's power. I could not go faster due to the technical nature of the hill. I personally could not climb a steeper hill (as the bike would flip), so the Husky had just enough power for the job. I also rode a KTM400EXC up the hill and that bike required quite a bit of clutch slipping. It just did not have enough low end torque to motor up the hill. I have been led to believe that the 400cc 4 strokes were ideal for technical work. I now believe otherwise. I have some seat time on WR250F's and YZ250F's, I suspect a 4 stroke 250 would not have the power to climb the hill no matter what. Without absurd gearing of course. I understand that this is an unusual situation, however the fact remains that small bore 4 strokes are down on power compared to similar displacement 2 strokes. Chris [/QUOTE]
