ENDURO w HAVE THE 2020 KTM AND HUSQVARANA FUEL INJECTED 250 TWO-STROKES IMPROVED OVER PREVIOUS YEARS? The biggest challenge for KTM/Husky has been to try and make the EFI bikes’ power delivery replicate the feel of a carb fuelled bike. Although these bikes have sold very well it has taken some time for riders to get used to the character of the modern EFI two-stokes. Even now the EFI bike is still a long way from feeing like a carb fuelled bike, but I have no doubt that the dedicated R&D department at Mattighofen will get there and be able to produce maps to suit what both pro racers and trail-riders demand. But do the 2020 fuel injected twostrokes show any improvement? I think they do. Here’s why. The fuel injection feels crisper and more refined than previous models. Starting both bikes was a cinch and neither showed any signs of bogging. The throttle response was clean and immediate throughout the rev range, and the EMS was so precise that I wished it wasn’t – the fuel-air delivery makes these fuel injected 250s so predictable. I would like both brands (especially Husqvarna) to make the engine mapping a little more aggressive, they would sell more 250s I think. Don’t misunderstand me, there is nothing wrong with the 250s as is and 80% of riders are going to be more than happy with them stock, but if you want to race these bikes competitively they could do with more power, akin to the power of a carb 250. w 32 www.rustsports.com
