come on guys , more tork meanes a quicker bike.quicker means faster,i think you can allways tune for more top end . if i can build enough bottom end i can change from 40 to 36 rear gear agian . i was going over 40 easy with the 36 cog. there has to be more secrets.
I would think "tork" is torque spelled phonetically, which would refer to the pulling force of the motor. More torque does not mean quicker, generally more horsepower does mean quicker and often means more top speed too, but circumstances can vary. Torque is the hp/rpm*5252, which means it always equals the hp at 5252rpm. Quicker does not mean faster, and often the two are diametrically opposed. Gearing for quick will reduce speed and vice versa.
I was able to get just over 40mph with a 44 tooth. Imagine what I'd get with a 36t? That can be done with ratio and proportion actually, 44x40/36=48.8mph. Key word is imagine, you have to have the hp to get it there.
Tell me what I can "allways tune for top end"? I'd love to know.
