Calculation Methodology

Final Drive Ratio = Rear Axle Sprocket Teeth / Front Engine Driver Teeth. Speed (km/h) = (Engine RPM * Tire Circumference * 60) / (Gear Ratio * 1000).

Frequently Asked Questions

Adding rear teeth increases the numerical gear ratio, boosting low-end corner exit acceleration at the expense of top straightaway speed.
