Duel ratio rear sprocket

Pretty cool engineering. http://dualratiosprockets.com/

Pretty damn slick (if it was properly torque load-tested)

fuckin brilliant... is this the final item necessary to make the drz400 the perfect dual sport ?

a 40% shorter final drive ratio... :wtf. no use other than stunting. cool idea but limited market for sure.

Ya you would think they would have options for final drive but maybe they are not there yet.

I'm guessing they use planetary gearing (like on a three-speed bicycle).

Can figure out how they get the space between the hub and swingarm.

Looks like a sweet deal if I still rode streets, I would get the 43t

I could see it for dual sport riding where there's a long freeway ride to where you're going, then you're going to spend a lot of time in the dirt.

But it would probably be easier with a dirt bike to just switch front sprockets.

Great idea I was just trying to think of how one could run a dual ratio sprocket. Unfortunately looks like this goes in place of your cush drive system, so you lose your cush drive and if your have a dirt bike you likely won't have a way to install it unless you have aftermarket cush drive hub.

thats true, i forgot that dirt bikes usually run something like 13/48 which is about the same as 15/60

switching front sprockets would be more difficult cuz ud have to adjust the chain; ud need at least 3 tools + a torque wrench.

nah, if u watch the install vid, the cush drive rubbers are still in there.

if these guys were smart, theyd develop an aftermarket hub w/ this built in for spoked wheels.

Eight. Hundred. Dollars. Can't you pretty much, you know, pick up a beat up stunt bike for that?

Lolz. That's when the novelty wore off on me, too.
