A higher final drive ratio means shorter gearing: more RPM at a given road speed. These are theoretical gearing comparisons, not a prediction of actual top speed.

Reading the result
01 / RATIO

What is final drive?

Rear sprocket teeth divided by front sprocket teeth. A larger number means the engine turns more for each wheel revolution.

02 / FEEL

Shorter gearing

A higher ratio can improve response and acceleration feel, while increasing cruising RPM and reducing speed at a given RPM.

03 / CHECK

Fitment still matters

Before changing sprockets, verify chain length, adjustment range, clearance, and your motorcycle manufacturer's guidance.
