KTM develops fuel-injection for two-stroke bikes

KTM – one of the fastest growing bike makers in Europe has decided to play a major role in the world of two-stroke bikes. The company will equip two of its Enduro motorcycles with fuel-injection technology.

The 2018 editions of the KTM 250 EXC and the KTM 300 EXC will get Transfer Port Injection (TPI) technology. These bikes will be launched in the month of May in Europe and the North American market will get the 250 XC-W bike later this year. 

KTM says that with the introduction of fuel-injection on these bikes, the riding experience will be much better, just like the fuel consumption. With improved power delivery and rideability, the future owners of these two-stroke bikes will be able to enjoy the tarmac and dirt-roads way better than the carburetted bikes. 

KTM’s EXC range are road legal bikes that meet the Euro 4 emission norms. Unfortunately, the Indian market isn’t ready for such bikes right now, but there are a few motorcycle enthusiasts in the country who would want to get this bike if priced right, which currently looks impossible due to high taxation on vehicle imports.
