Unless you want first gear to be useless in a race lol
The gearing is SICK, no 2 ways around that
here is a comparison of stock gearing and 16/42
stock:
1,2,3,4,5,6 gears
16/42:
.5,1,2,3,4,5 gears
16/42: 1st column=indicated 2nd coloum=GPS actual
20 = 16
35 = 30
60 = 50
70 = 60
80 = 65
85 = 70
It seems like you need to #### up in 6th gear, you will be looking for 7th gear all day lol (Gear indicater anyone?)
first comes up fast as hell with not effort, 1/4 turn throttle at speed in first and your up real fast. 2nd 1/2 throttle power up.
With a passenger in 2nd gear. I shifted early out of first, positioned my self lower, nailed the throttle expecting just to go fast but the thing unexpectantly shot up faster that it would in first gear carrying a passenger on stock gearing.
Acceleration is just monsterous. Just from coming off the clutch in first you move out alot more looks like you are racing off the line went you are just cruising to 40mph.
What else can I say, its just amazing. OH btw I have GOLD EK ZVM2 and gold rear sprocket. looks cool.
