Me 2023 KTM xcw TPI, and looking for a new bike… bike I’m looking at is carbureted but I’m convinced it’s not superior to fuel injected bikes. Change my mind

I know a lot of riders swear by carburetors, but it’s 2024, and I honestly think it’s time we all admit that fuel injection is superior for dirt bikes. I know people get nostalgic about carburetors, but let’s be real, fuel injection is more reliable, provides better fuel economy, and performs better across varying altitudes and weather conditions.

Carburetors require constant tinkering, jetting, and adjusting. Why waste time when fuel injection systems offer ‘set-it-and-forget-it’ convenience??Sure, carb bikes might be easier to fix on the fly, but most modern bikes rarely break down. Plus, with the advancement of throttle body injection (TBI) and transfer port injection (TPI), fuel-injected bikes are faster, cleaner, and easier to ride.

I’m not saying carb bikes don’t have their place, but why do some riders strictly ride carbs!!

Why stick with carbs when fuel injection is more reliable? Have you tried both systems, which do you prefer and why? Do carburetors have any real advantages in 2024?
