After 400 hours of pushing myself on a 300cc monster of a bike, I’ve come out the other side with battle scars, breakthroughs, and a whole new respect for the world of hard enduro. In this video, I break down common misconceptions about the two stroke platform— why do people think these things, are they valid concerns, will anyone actually even read this? These are all valid questions.
Whether you’re new to Two strokes or a seasoned 500 rider, this video is packed with hard-earned advice, fails, progression footage, and personal insight. Let's talk about these common myths, because these are all things people have asked or told me in the comments.
💥 Topics covered:
-2 stroke reliability.
-Riding aggressive is non optional.
-What creates the powerband?
-Are two strokes hard to tune?
-Can you use them for dual sport?
-The average rider has no idea what reeds do.
As promised here is a video about reed valves. This guy breaks it down super well and I personally wouldn't be able to do it any better.
