Final results are in - bike has more power everywhere. Its got at least 15kmh extra top speed, definitely has more grunt off idle and down low, and the mid range is heaps better with much more power over a bigger spread in each of the gears. Had a great ride on the weekend with it, including 40mins in the slowest most technical single trail I have ever ridden...and it didnt stall once. I would have struggled on this trail pre rebuild and mods.
Its also got tonnes more compression, which makes descents a hell of a lot easier due to the extra comp braking.
