CODY WEBB TALKS TWO-STROKE
FUEL-INJECTION AND PERFORMANCE
FMF KTM Factory Racing’s Cody Webb had a great start to the 2018 ex-
treme enduro season as he took a convincing win at the RevLimiter Ex-
treme Enduro in Decatur, Texas. Riding aboard the all-new KTM 250 XC-W
TPI (fuel injected two-stroke), Webb swept all three motos to earn a perfect
score for the day.
KTM’s new EFI two-stroke is the culmination of 10 years worth of work and
research by the Austrian firm and it’s release this year sparked a firestorm
of interest in the world’s first off-road fuel-injected two-stroke (yes, yes, we
know, Vertigo has a fuel-injected two-stroke trials model).
TPI stands for Transfer Port Injection, and it is managed by the most
sophisticated two-stroke Engine Management System (EMS) on the market,
utilizing five basic EFI sensors. To top if off, the bike also has oil injection
that is controlled electronically.
This is all very impressive, but how does it really perform in race condi-
tions? Well, you can’t get any more real than an extreme off-road race, and
On The Pegs spoke to Cody Webb right after he won the recent RevLimiter
Extreme Enduro in Texas after just one day on a new KTM 250 XC-W TPI.
The following is Cody’s reaction.
