  • Our engineers have come up with the answer to the age old question: Is a 2-stroke or 4-stroke engine better? With our new Rotax 600 H.O. E-TEC and 1200 4-TEC engines, the answer is YES.
    Our founder, Joseph-Armand Bombardier, was always looking for new ways to make life better through technology. Thats what led him to create his first snowmobile at age 17 from a Model T and the first mass-produced snowmobile, the Ski-Doo, 50 years ago. That same spirit of innovation drives us every day to make snowmobiles that make you a better rider.

    @quincee33 Yeah. The 2-strokes match and beat 4-strokes now. And with DI there is a lot of untapped technology for stop/start, cylinder deactivation, and while cruising running like a 4-stroke in order to reduce emissions and increase fuel economy more.

    @quincee33 Their plan was to kill the 2-strokes before the technology came. But the 2-strokes stuck around long enough until the technology is available to make them superior again. Their plan didn't quite work out. It worked in dirt bikes(mostly).
    When people start seeing what these are capable of either Yamaha better start making 2-strokes or suffer problems. I heard Polaris might go all 2-stroke(like Evinrude boat engines) but don't know if that is true.

    what happens with the fuel, is there any need for premix? or does the piston get lubed from a sump

    • @g8ymw
      @g8ymw 10 років тому

      Cannot be premix or the bottom end would seize up, the oil is injected into the bearings, just a more advanced, targeted lubrication system based loosely on what Yamaha, Suzuki and Kawasaki have been doing since the early 70's.
      Air is drawn into the crankcase then forced (with oil from the lubrication system) Then forced up through the transfer ports to the cylinder blowing the burned (and some fresh) air out the exhaust port. When the exhaust port is closed ONLY then is petrol injected (No unburned petrol out the exhaust hence better economy) Lubrication is still "Total Loss"

    Is lubrication oil reclaimed from the crank case after used? If not, I wonder how much oil is injected for each cycle. The video says that 1Q of oil per season. Any one know how many hour of use is that equivalent to?

    @vampov 12 років тому +1

    @rdyjur "whereas a two stroke there is a slight delay in the power until you hit your max rpm"....the word you are looking for is Powerband and it doesn't occur at the max RPM. And scrogy is correct a 2 stroke will always produce more power and torque (yes I said torque on purpose) than a 4 stroke for the same displacement normally aspirated. It's physics.

    • @patamaran
      @patamaran 7 років тому

      which is why there will never be competing 4 strokes in the same displacement, my thought was always that this would matter if you could only get 4 strokes in the same displacements as 2 strokes but since the 4 strokes are always made in much higher displacements its a moot point.

    a 4 stroke engine generates better power through the whole rpm range whereas a two stroke there is a slight delay in the power until you hit your max rpm. 4 strokes are waay snappier!yes motor has much more to it making it heavy and hard for guys like you to figure out. and once u learn to use compression braking u will rarely have to use your brakes unless you're flying down the mountain at mach 1. suspension is meant to be set up for your style when u buy it, with basic tools

  • @TheOfficialKC
    @TheOfficialKC 13 років тому

    @quincee33 The only thing that the laws ban are sleds with high emissions. And like I said before the 2-strokes with DI have better emissions than 4-strokes.
    The same happened to boats a few years ago. Everyone said 2-strokes were getting banned, but you can't ban technology. They just set a emissions cap so the companies developed 2-stroke Direct Injection and now you see them everywhere.
    Now the tech is being passed on to snowmobile. Hopefully motorcycles are next.

  • @SCROGY
    @SCROGY 12 років тому +1

    @rdyjur I don't know where you got that from but it's false. Two strokes definitely hit harder and make more power. 4 strokes do not generate better power through the whole RPM range (their RPM range is wider). They don't hit as hard and thus just feel like they have a wider power band. Why do you think 4 strokes with double the cc were allowed to compete against 125's (250 4 strokes) and 250's (450 4 strokes) in AMA motocross? Because a two stroke essentially makes twice as much power.

    2 strokes - More power per cc. More SUDDEN response (They hit harder). Simpler design. Easier to work on. Less compression braking. The only advantages 4 strokes have come BECAUSE they make less power per cc. 4 strokes blow. I hate 'em.
