MXA Explains Motocross Front-Wheel-Drive and Rear-Wheel-Drive

Here's a question for you: Have you ever watched a four-stroke motocross bike in a turn? You may have noticed how, in most cases, it seems to turn like you'd expect a motocross bike to turn. That's pretty simple.

How about a two-stroke? Have you seen how a two-stroke slides around turns like Vin Diesel driving his '70 Chevelle in Fast and Furious? It seems like the rear tire wants to go faster than the front tire, which isn't far from the truth.

When comparing the turning characteristics of two-stroke and four stroke motocross bikes it's apparent that they're in different ball games. They don't turn the same for a few different reasons.

Motocross Action Magazine explains the differences. April 2010 issue, "Handling: Two-Stroke or Four?" Just flip to the glossary and click on the article.
