Default Dax 50 4-stroke vs 70cc 2-stroke

Dax says his 50cc Titan is as powerful as his 70cc center mount and more reliable. Does everyone think that sounds right?

Also, I see that Golden Eagle recommends 2-strokes for communters since they're a bit quicker. Again, do you folks agree?

I really appreciate you folks sharing your wisdom.

HI,

I read somewhere (I wish I could remember where BUT it was either on his site or one of the motorized bicycle forums) that Duane himself ("Mr Dax") was surprised to learn (by his own testing) that the ol 2 stroker is faster than the new titan.....As far as reliability, being that the Titan is relatively new , only time will tell how it does VS the 70....

Hope this helps you.

Andrew

It is possible that it's more reliable for several reasons. I know the admin here has run both engines....Cruiser? Comments?

Maybe out of the box, maybe. And for sure the 4-stroke (if well made) takes less maintenance. That is not the same thing as reliability. Once the 2 stroke is set-up it can be very reliable. I'm not saying it's easy and happens instantly - it takes effort.

However, when tuned properly a 70 cc 2-stroke will smoke a 50cc 4-stroke.

Don't worry, next year or so I will be doing a 4 stroke frame mount so I'll have both. I was hoping to find larger than a 50 cc though!

i like the titan much better. so far no maintnence. it is faster then my 70cc was prior to the tuned pipe. after the tuned pipe the 70cc was a little faster but not alot. i love not messing with the clutch and tightning bolts. everytime i rode the 2 stroke i had to fix something. for me the titan is the perfect bicycle motor

2 stroke is best choice, it is lighter and easy to install and repair.
the only problem is polution

I have a 50cc 4 stroke, and I wouldn't go back to the 2 banger again.
Once you own/ride a 4cycle, you get spoiled by the lack of vibration and parts loosening up.
If you want speed, go with the 2 cycle. If you want dependability, low maintenance, and torque, go with the 4 cycle.
