Hey everyone, like the title says I’m looking to change the gearing on my 2020 250xc. I like in Kentucky and have done mostly moto but will be doing a few msxc off-road races this fall.
The few practice days I’ve had on it were good but third gear was ok, a little short but 4th was skyscraper tall it felt like. Looking to see if anyone has changed their gearing to make the bike a bit more versatile. Stock gearing is 13/51. I read an article from last year or two years ago that Russell Bobbitt was running 13/49 on his 250xcf that was also geared 13/51 stock, but couldn’t find any other info. Seems like most GNCC pro bike checks I’ve read, they have mostly dropped a tooth at the rear sprocket. I’ve ordered a 50 tooth to see if I can stretch third and second maybe.
Anyone ventured away from stock gearing for this type of riding (east coast woods/moto, no hard enduro) and had any luck? Thanks.
