A two stroke engine with reed valves will develop more low RPM torque than an identical ported-only engine because the intake timing in ported-only engines are timed to pass more air at higher RPM, thus they are not as efficient at the lower RPMs at sealing the intake charge in the crank case as a reed valve is.
