Portuguese term or phrase: provas tipo Baja / a 2 tempos / a 4 tempos
Referring to motorbikes and trials:

"...terá ainda ao seu dispor esta temporada uma KTM 250 a 2 tempos, destinada aos treinos e uma KTM 520 a 4 tempos, moto que deverá ser utilizada em competição nas provas tipo Baja.


a 2 tempos - two-cylinder?
a 4 tempos - four-cylinder?

provas tipo Baja - this refers to a kind of motorbike trial. Any ideas of how it's translated (note the capital B)?

Explanation:
Regarding "2 tempos" and "4 tempos", I do not believe that "2-cylinder" or "4-cylinder" are the correct terms. A "1-cylinder" engine can be of "2 tempos" and a "2-cylinder" engine of "4 tempos". The "tempo" thing refers to "compressão/admissão" and "combustão/escape".
