For 2018, KTM has come up with the world’s first fuel-injected two-stroke motorcycles in the form of the 2018 KTM 250 EXC TPI and KTM 300 EXC TPI.

The ‘Transfer Port Injection’ has revived the future of two-strokes by improving all the disadvantages of two-stroke engines.

KTM’s TPI motorcycles also come in the Six Days Edition which are fitted with special graphics and performance upgrades.

The world of two-stroke motorcycles promises one thing and one thing only; immense amount of power from a relatively small engine package. Like the name, two-stroke engines are basically able to accomplish this thanks to their ability to complete a power cycle with only two-strokes whereas four-stroke engines require twice as much movement.

In essence, two-stroke motorcycles have a higher powerband, more compact and have less moving parts compared to four-stroke motorcycles. Therefore, they are lighter and leave room for much higher power-to-weight ratio. Like the great Jeremy Clarkson use to say, “Power!”

Over the years, the development of two-stroke machines have gone through tough times due to some disadvantages such as parts wearing out faster caused by a lack of dedicated lubrication system, inefficiency when it comes to utilizing fuel and ultimately producing a lot of pollution. The last one was a definite red flag especially to emission regulators.

Realising that there is still so much potential to this particular engine setup, the geniuses over at KTM decided to find a way to achieve the ultimate two-stroke engine while trying to avoid all of the said disadvantages above. The answer? FUEL INJECTION.

For 2018, KTM has introduced two revolutionary enduro models which are the 2018 KTM 250 EXC TPI and KTM 300 EXC TPI. So, what’s ‘TPI’? That’s the latest two-stroke fuel-injection technology developed by KTM is called ‘Transfer Port Injection’ and these two models are the first production motorcycles ever to come with a two-stroke fuel-injected engine.

So, what’s the big fuss with fuel-injected two-stroke bikes? Remember all the disadvantages of two-stroke engines which had most motoring experts predicting the end of the two-stroke era? What KTM has achieved with their TPI technology is ultimately reviving it back with an engine that not only has a high power-to-weight ratio but also promises better fuel consumption figures and more controlled rideability.

According to KTM Product Marketing Manager Joachim Sauer, “This is an incredibly exciting development for KTM. We have been developing two-stroke fuel injection for some time and our goal was to create competitive motorcycles with all the benefits of fuel injection, while fitting into our READY TO RACE mantra.”

Thanks to a brand new Engine Management System (EMS) developed specifically for KTM’s TPI bikes, the system is able to calculate the exact amount of fuel, air and two-stroke oil needed for optimum performance without wasting any of it from being unburned. You don’t have to premix your fuel with two-stroke lubricants anymore, too!

Basically, both the 2018 KTM 250 EXC TPI and KTM 300 EXC TPI are super light, super powerful and offer massive riding pleasures to those fortunate enough to have the chance. KTM Malaysia has both of these models on offer and they come with loads of other goodies as well.
