Why a reed engine?

[CyberVet65]

I have seen the breakdown of the engine. I just don't understand what it would be used for? Horsepower? 100mph? Climbing a tree? Going thru a brick wall?

LMAO too funny but alot of people swear buy them especially on the losi forum I believe its a high torque factor which of course is good if racing on a track. But I personally love the G320 with the bartolne xp pipe boy is that setup something serious just stock.

Reed valves increase compression on a 2 stroke

They used to be THE thing to have on your 2 stroke bike

I really remember "back in the day" when reed engines were used in many dirt bikes. Like the Bultaco and the Husqvarna. Really had low end.

I seem to think they are more for racing applications. I'll just bash around with my OBR 30.5 and Walbro 990 carb with the JetPro pipe.
