Electric Dirtbike Vs 4 Strokes in Motocross Race 2023

[@sterlingarcher1962]

I grew up at the track, my dad raced, by brother raced and of course so did I. The smell of spent 2stroke fuel and the sound... BRRRRAG! BRRRRAP! literally warms my soul. The feeling I get is near indescribable. That being said, as sad as I am to say, petrol is dead. Now that batteries have come to the point where they are and just keep getting better, the instant torque WOW! You could see his acceleration being hampered by traction off the line keeping him from leaving them all right there. That first lap it was clear to see he just needed enough space to keep traction and he'll fly right by which he did. New era of speed we're entering with cars and bikes... an amazing time indeed. Thrilled I get to see it!

[@Mark5mith]

Oh man, I love the smell of two stroke in the morning 😁, still got a few stroker's hiding, saying that, this was a good reason electric works, instant torque made those jumps easy Travis Pastrana was raving about how well they are suited to Motocross, given his slightly abused body, he said it made it a lot easier for him.

[@sqd37l]

i'm glad I grew up in the 70's.

[@brycestacker9282]

traction is right. tires have to be designed differently with less emphasis on rotational mass and more on traction.

[@Krawl913]

Pure domination. You are an incredible rider. That’s for sure. People don’t understand the intensity of those ruts. Let alone all the jumps and precision. Nice work.

How to dominate: cut the video when other bikes pass you, like the 2-stroke at 4:55 😂

[@charliegould5865]

I’m not normally in favour of electric vehicles, but I can see the electric motorcross bikes being the saviour of the motorcross sport. With more and more people complaining about the noise from these events the quiet electric bikes could save the sport. And this video proves that there’s no loss of speed and spectacular racing.

[@wornknobby]

@@IrnMaiden304 not wrong. You said the 4 stroke craze, not 4 strokes in off road. Yamaha with the tt500 would qualify with that grounding, of perhaps the xr line with their late 90s tech. Agree all of those were improvements but none started a craze. Yamaha with their completely new high revving design is what changed the sport. It is the standard now and after Henry's win was when the craze started . No other oem can make that claim.

[@IrnMaiden304]

@@wornknobby I said " 4 stroke race bike craze " so the TT and the XR are not MX RACE bikes, one would think being the type of video this is, the comment would be kinda obvious that we are talking about " Off-road MX ". Yamaha lobbied for AMA to make an exemption rule, KTM 540SX was the first bike out to use the rule ( there's your start to the 4 stroke RACE bike craze ), Yamaha didn't have their bike ready just yet, even though it was their own plea with the AMA for exemption, they weren't far behind though, when it finally did they won.

In the snowboard world, getting in and out of closed terrain that normally wouldnt be accessible unless you are really good, and not caught is key. Its called SWIFT SILENT DEEP.

You can get in, rip a sick jump or couple of turns and vanish, leaving nothing but rubber marks. Sounds like an absolute dream to me. 🤷‍♂️

[@jaymesdean]

I have one and love it, but EV bikes in sanctioned events will kill the sport. Give them a class of their own if we’re bringing them in. They’re literally cheat codes. The power is instant, there’s no gears so don’t even worry about remembering what gear you’re in throughout the race and what gear you need to be in to hit a certain jump or rhythm, no clutch on your start and to feather your throttle in corners. Mentally they’re so much easier to ride. I love all my bike and scooter, but if you allow them to run against gas the sport will die.

[@channel1_channel]

Destroying the environment via electric battery mining/manufacturing etc is not positive. Yes, electric has many positives, but environmental concerns is not one of them. This will become more evident as the years roll on.

4 strokes took over so the electric bikes could do the same. As the guy mentioned above the 2 strokes now have to race a class higher which is just ridiculous. The only issue I have with a 4 stroke is the sound. The 2 strokes sound so much better and the sound is critical to the fan base as well as small kids who will be the future of motocross. An electric bike is silly but there will be someone out there that likes them. This goes to show we can’t drift far from what a true race bike should be. Hell they restricted the sport for the damn 4 stroke making their own classes and making two strokes step up to the next class. Such crap and the reason so many have no interest anymore and not gaining new fans. The sport is a tough blue collar sport yet the bikes are not affordable to them so the bikes from the beginning are falling into the hands of the wrong kids. Middle class and poor kids need a chance to ride and race

[@zackk695]

@terracer I tell you that the two strokes are far superior than any 4 stroke. This is way they make them race a class up and restricted the pro class to 250 and 450 now. I really don’t have an answer but I know it’s not the EPA because after some research it was Honda and Yamaha pushing these 4 strokes and why I don’t know because Honda had the best 2 stroke ever. I turned my back on motocross in the mid 2000’s and next thing you know all the 2 strokes were gone. It was sickening. If the EPA was behind this then they wouldn’t be making 2 strokes still which they still do. The other issue is no one wants to buy them only to have to race a class up which is not fair and just stupid when you think about it. If it’s a 250 then it should race the 250 class period. Also if you think of all racing the EPA can’t do anything to them such as all car racing and also superbikes and all those out out a heck of a lot more fuel in the air

I'm an Old 2 Stroke guy who use to race in the 80's and saw the introduction of 4 strokes and 2 strokes fazed out. We use to have a 4 stroke class where people mainly raced YZ two stroke frames with XR Honda motors, long before the companies were making four stroke racers, my point is that we had a separate class for 4 strokes as the main bikes were two strokes, I think Electric bikes should have their own class, we should though bring back 2 strokes, perhaps race 380cc 2's against the 450cc 4's
