TWO-STROKE DIRT BIKES KTM has announced plans to bring out two brand-new two-stroke enduro bikes. While two-stroke engines have long been popular with off-roaders, thanks to light weight and power delivery, they haven’t been able to meet modern emissions standards. The Austrian factory has developed a ‘Transfer Port Injection’ system that cleans up the emissions, as well as getting rid of the age-old hassle of mixing oil with petrol and changing jets if the sun goes in. The 250 EXC TPI and 300 EXC TPI are due out in the summer.
