The sound of a 2 stroke flying by never gets old. Always puts a smile on my face.

Nothin' like the smell of 2 stroke in the morning...

This video makes me wish a 3 stroke existed 😂😅

Here's a quick one for trail riders, if your going to spend over 50% of your time running top end 5th gear tapped run 450 4 stroke. More than 50% of the time if your riding windy hilly terrain run 300 2 strokes. If you're like me and do 50/50 of the two. Buy both and plan your rides according to the bike you choose for the day. No such thing as too many bikes, their not like women and don't get mad when you ride 2 different ones.

Well, lets be honest, we are all riders. Dont hate 2 stroke when you ride 4 stroke. Dont hate 4 stroke when you ride 2 stroke. Create dont hate Edit: Thanks for 500 likes omg🙏

This is a well compiled and well presented effort, young squire.

4s are awesome power and torque 2s are awesome power band and punch Totally different bikes

Great video. Totally unbiased and very informative. I've been a pretty adamant 2-stroke guy for years, but I'm getting older now and 4-stroke technology keeps getting better, so I will probably go that route eventually. Videos like this certainly help in any decision making. Thanks.

”FOR YOU” That’s the phrase. It’s all about personal preference.

From the beginning I already knew that this guy knows what he’s talking about

Very professional video! I've ridden both and have seen a ton of research on why one is better than the other but NEVER have I seen such a good compilation in ONE video explaining it all so well. Great work guys!

This is the kind of summation I was looking for. This young man is informed and offers a, mostly non-biased, take on what a off-road newbie, like myself, is looking for. Many thanks for sharing your insights.

2 smokers for life! Solid video boys!

Really top tier video in every way! Great filming, editing, and as always, fantastic riding. The information is also excellent. Nice work guys!

As a semi experienced this video helped me choose which bike ill upgrade too tremendously. I absolutely LOVE 2 strokes but you really showed the pros of a 4 and changed my mind on being stubborn 2 stroke only

But that 2 stroke power band... Guaranteed to put a smile on your face! I love both but for the most fun per grip twist, you can beat 2 smokes

This is the best, unbiased comparison I've seen. I like them both. I grew up on 2 strokes and now ride a 4 stroke, but that's because of the type of riding I do. I can totally see why people choose a 2 stroke for more tight, technical stuff. The goal is to have one of each 😄

2 strokes just so much more fun in general, although i really enjoy my 450 for high speed desert riding, and my 2 stroke can be a struggle on some jumps out of corners on the main moto tracks.

I love me the consistent predictability of the torque in 4 strokes through the entire band. I want to pull the throttle and get the torque I want all the way through, not just in a specific spot

This is literally the best video on 2v4!! I've watched like a freaking hundred videos on this, and this is definitely the best!!! You guys should have way more subs! KZfaq algorithm sucks.

That was one of the best presentations of the differences I've seen in a while. I like your willingness to bring the physics of the matters into play and the use of the moving part count and rotational mass as the explaining variable for the observed outcomes. Nice work!

Just followed because he knows what he is talking about🔥

I can honestly say this was the most informative and honest 12 minutes I have ever experienced on youtube, great Job! I would like to add to the qualifying list of 2 vs 4 stroke subject. If your an old guy like me trying to relive your childhood on a bike and don't want to be competitive, theres something to the sound and feel of a 2 stroke that is much of the fun! If all you want to do is pull up the front wheel here and there and and toss some dirt at under 30 mph that peak pull as you hit the pipe will make squirting around your property feel faster then it is!

This is the best "2T vs 4T" video that I have seen, period. Well done!

Great video, Josh!

One of the best 2t vs 4t videos. Modern 4t definitely has the upper hand in just about everything. That being said my vote is 2t for dirtbike any day. It is just more fun to ride leisurely.

I can't let go of the awesome feeling of the 2 stroke powerband.

This is by far the most thorough, thoughtful and comprehensive video on the difference of engines! Luv it. Had to go through like 5 other time wasting videos to find this one. Pure Signal. Thank you!

Very well done, Thank you. I have a few years under my belt....and have enjoyed watching 4 Strokes become more competitive. Your narrative explains things very well. Thank You, Bobb

Very well thought out and put together video Josh. Super impressed with the content you are bringing the offroad community both experienced and just starting out. Keep it coming!

Really, really good! This young man is a natural. 50 yrs. off-road riding, and I'm impressed. Best wishes to you.

That was such a great breakdown of the differences! I just learned so much great info! Thanks for taking the time to make this video.

Great video! As someone new to dirtbikes I personally like 4 strokes due to their predictability which allows me to focus more on technique and myself rather than focusing on not accidentally hitting the powerband and dying lol.

great timeless wisdom from such a young guy. i miss my old 2 strokers

Impressed with your knowledge. Getting back into dirt biking after oh...25 years :) so it's a whole new world for me. Thank you very much!

I had a yz85 when I was 14 and I loved that little 2 stroke. That powerband would pop the front end up so quick. I was in love with it

I love how professional this guy speaks! 👍

For all those guys that are trying to decide between 4 strokes and 2 strokes, think about it like this: if you aint mixin gas, you aint gettin ass

Such an amazing video. All facts, no biased comments. Just shooting straight and giving as much information as possible. Right on 🤘

Thank you for putting this comparison together! I’ve wanted to give dirt bike riding a try and this is well done.

I love the simplicity of the 2 strokes. In a few minutes you can rebuild the entire motor with a lot less money than 4 strokes.

Outstanding comparison and facts on both machines . Very well done👍

You guys sound so you really know what you’re doing. Very well put together and detailed information. Just looking into off-road riding in addition to my on road and track riding

Been trying to figure out what bike I want when I’m older and this solved it! Thanks my man!

finally a good video to break down the differences.. i think a 4 stroke would fit my riding style better... but there is nothing above the 2 stroke smell

Everyone should experience ripping through a few gears in the power band on a two-stroke This is a really good collection of information. Best video I’ve seen yet to recommend to someone who asks “what’s the difference b’tween 4 and 2 stroke?”

This is such an articulate and thorough video. I know nothing about dirt bikes and im fascinated. So awesome. Great job!

very educational, told the facts like they are. didn't sugarcoat anything, didn't trash talk either like a lot of people would. excellent

Great video. Would love to see a video shot on technical terrain showing the pro’s and con’s between the two engines. Your explanations are top notch, seeing them in action would be awesome.

Got a Yamaha yz450f 4-stroke it’s amazing on trails

I'm an "old guy," and when i did mx and half mile (occasional trials), the only 4 strokes were in the open class in half mile. when i hear the term "two stroke" i would swear that i smell Blendzall in the air... lol. That said, i too have owned both, and both have their places... this was the finest explanation of the differences that i have ever seen... you rock! I hope that you will do more of such well detailed teachings in the future... suspension, tires, rake/trail, and the one i think most needed is MX bike vs Enduro (including street legal and not) - so many people that will *never* race buy mx bikes to do off-road... this is frequently not the best choice, since mx bikes are so finely honed to a specific purpose... (ok, off my soapbox) PLEASE keep up the good work... that was truly EXCELLENT!!

THANK YOU SO MUCH, i can not even begin to tell how much i needed all of this information!

2003 Ktm 525sx converted to 6 speed exc model without electric start. I love the bike so far.

Spot on! Love the unbiased opinion!

This might be the best source of "Dirt Bike" information I've ever seen. I am a former mx-er and my 14 year old is starting to ride but has many questions that I don't have (or never knew) the answer to. This channel is AWESOME!!! and the information is presented in a fantastic way. GREAT JOB Team Knights and thank you from a old crusty rider.

Bro, you are the man. Every video is 100% top shelf, you are extremely smart without being arrogant. You give every consideration without bias, and have valid points. Keep up the great work my man , you are by far the best on You Tube for dirt bike knowledge

Yeah I'm a 4t for a long time before this video, but you guys did great, just subbed, loved the video, (I wish I made it haha)

That was brilliant I got more honest information watching that than I have out off 50 videos well done

Outstanding video my man. Exceptionally articulate and concise.

This was a great video! Narration was extremely thorough and professional.

I love my 450, I wouldn't change it for anything, but I guess it depends on the needs and riding style of everyone. Terrific video, thank you!

Great video. 2 strokes are superb because of the power band. It's a really special thing IMO.

2 stroke any day of the week for me. Would take me back to my childhood. The smell of the oil, the sound of an engine having its kneck rung, the blur of trees in peripheral vision👌👌

Best dirt bike explanation I have ever seen!

LOVE 2-stroke SOUND!

Pure excellence! I just picked up my first 2 stroke. I thoroughly enjoy the insane feeling of the power band kicking in and launching me into warp drive! I wasn't aware of the lack of engine braking (found that out in the first berm I went through) . I've always had 4 strokes but I couldn't resist the deal I got on my yz250. Awesome footage and awesome info!!

Very well delivered content, sir. Lots of info on this type of stuff on YT but you have developed and delivered some top notch education here. There are some very quality instructional design techniques leveraged to create this video. Well done!

This video is so good. I love the balanced analysis. Much appreciated.

I like the 4 stroke engine sound because it sounds more like an efficient high performance engine and not like a chainsaw but I also love the 2 stroke sound because it sounds like it's ripping everything it touches to shreds with sheer willpower and facemelting power. As for the performance, I've never ridden anything 2stroke other than a 92 snowmobile lol but it seems intimidating and fun

Got a (Yamaha YZ250) and all I gotta say is- Hear the ping smell the smoke you have just been passed by a 2 stroke🤙🏻

I dont even have a mx or any plans of getting one, still couldnt stop watching. Great job!

Well stated and professionally presented from someone (and his family) who own several bikes and ride ALOT.

Great info but forgot to mention how sweet 2 strokes am always puts a smile on ur face no matter what 4 stroke get really boring after a while 2 strokes reliably is insane 2 stroke blows up low cost 4 stroke crank snaps that’s a whole new motor

Smoke em if ya got em

i used to think a 4 stroke was better for me because power band in 2 strokes scared me but now that ive ridden a 94 kx125 and a 93kx250 powerband no longer scares me it bring a smile to my face everytime it activates i love the feel of a 2 stroke more then 4 i love the sound and the way fat pipes look on 2 andf i just love the power 2 strokes are where i belong

Thanks you and KZfaq, that's the video I needed to watch. Peace 🙏🙏🙏

This may be the best dirt bike video for beginners

Brilliant video very informative, one huge point you forgot to mention is that 2 strokes demand a much more skilled rider to achieve the same as a lesser skilled rider on a 4t, which is why the real goats like carmichael reed pastrana etc can all ride both. iv seen alot of lads at the local tracks look like absolute amateurs when they borrow their mate 2t and yet are relatively quick on their tractors! 2t for men 4t for girlies lmfaoo

Just picked up my first 2 stroke today and came across this video..great info bud! 🤜🏽🤛🏽

Thank you man. I appreciate your time.

2 stroke for enduro and riding in woods 4 stroke for motocross

Nothing beats the sound of a 125cc 2 stroke 💪🏍

Unbiased, knowledgeable video. Much thanks. Subscribed

So well explained without bias. BIG UP!

No.1, 2 strokes rule, No.2, 2 strokes rule.

I grew up in a time period where 4 strokes weren’t even liked, 2 strokes still raced professionally, and growing up riding nothing but smokers I love my YZ-125 and YZ-250 (I Race desert and enduro.) the 2 stroke seems to be a better engine for enduro and desert, but 2 strokes seem to be getting harder to ride on motocross tracks due to how they are prepared and built, 4 strokes are a much easier bike to ride and produce way more confidence in the rider as you do not need to ride them as hard and push them to their limits in order to ride fast. I’m a firm believer that a 2 stroke rider is and always will be better then a 4 stroke rider due to the 2 stroke rider and their bike constantly demanding the riders focus, skills, and strength in order to ride the bike properly as to where a 4 stroke you just get on and go and the bike will take care of you. At the end of the day, both bikes are amazing and the newer 300 2 strokes are equal to 4 strokes due to how smooth their are and how much traction they can find very similar to a 250f

One of the best informative and to the point video I seen. Well done you sir have a new subscriber✊🏽

I really enjoyed watching this video. Great work guys. All very well explained to the point.

2t - enduro. ♥️ 4t - motocross.

When learning motocross at a young age or even just starting out I always recommend using two strokes, they help you learn clutch and throttle control and when you learn on a four stroke I see it all too often that they create a “lazy” riding technique that is not good in any way. I started on a two stroke but I would love a four stroke now for the track, I feel like once you learn on a two stroke for motocross you can pretty much jump on anything and have no issues. (This only goes for motocross)

I love how clear and concise this video is. Thank you!

Best video for someone trying to decide on 2 or 4 stroke, great job👍

2 strokes have more power. Like a 125 2t races against a 250 4t. If you use the same cc a 2 stroke will easily win.

4 strokes are like sipping a glass of smooth whiskey 2 strokes are like an IV to the neck filled with tequila and bang

Thank you for putting this master piece together 💯

The most articulated 2s vs 4s comparison i have seen on youtube!

So it doesn’t matter they are good for everything

I feel like that 2 strokes are more fun

Best video on the internet about this topic, hands down! I wish there was a 2 stroke with more engine brake. I do enduro in the desert and love that 2 strokes don't over heat, but depend on the engine breaking of the 4 stroke on the downhills, so I ride 4 stroke.

Excellent video. This video should be played at all DMV and riding schools. Excellent.
