Real high performance engines are designed to create as much power as possible at the cost of longevity, and they can not achieve their full potential on pump gas… Unless you build engines like Koenigsegg, which you don’t.
Without going into depth about chemistry, octane refers to the measure of a fuel’s resistance to detonation. The higher the octane level, the less susceptible fuel is to pre-ignition and detonation, also known as “knock.”
Not all fuel is created equal, and not all vehicles (dirt bikes included) can run on the same type of fuel. As a result, octane ratings were established to classify the different qualities of fuel into distinct performance categories.
