Bajaj Auto to resurrect two stroke Bikes

Bajaj Auto is all set to resurrect the 2 stroke motorcycles in the country. Riding them was great fun especially the rx100 and Suzuki shogun. The two-stroke engines were very successful in the past due to its higher torque and faster pickup but eventually were put on a hold for being unable to meet the pollution norms.

After the recent success of the gasoline direct injection (GDi) technology in its three-wheelers the company is likely to introduce the GDi technology for its two-wheeler products in 100 - 125cc range in the next few months. The Gdi technology used in its 3 wheelers by Bajaj, has emissions lower than the one which run on CNG and also provide upto 33% better fuel efficiency. News reports also say that Bajaj is working on combining The GDi with Dtsi technology for the two wheelers.

What is gasoline direct injection (GDi)?
Gasoline Direct injection or GDi is a variant of fuel injection employed in modern two- and four- stroke petrol engines. The gasoline is highly pressurised, and injected via a common rail fuel line directly into the combustion chamber of each cylinder, as opposed to conventional multi-point fuel injection that happens in the intake tract, or cylinder port. GDi enables stratified charge (ultra lean burn) combustion for improved fuel efficiency and emission levels at low load.
