I trail ride my MB alla time with just the stock 44t sprocket... and it leaves something to be desired to say the least. While the bike handles great and the motor has plenty of power - I'm essentially "stuck in third gear". While this is fine for open trails, as soon as it gets rugged (roots, rocks, climbing) I hafta pedal it through - or go WAY too fast lol
