It is bloody fun gearing! You can climb anything with it. My old 04 never found a hill it couldn?t get up.

I run this gearing also. Love it. It allows me to be low in third gear on the trails which still has good maneuverability in tight single track stuff. Can easily blip the throttle allowing the torque to loft the front wheel enough to clear obstacles and with enough momentum to cross logs and roots.

13/52 works very well. 1st is useful on hills, 2nd is good for slow speed, 3rd for most single track, 4th for more open single track.
Many guys want to stay in third all the time, but I'd don't mind using fourth.

13/52 is perfect for my home ST. Minimizes or eliminates the need for clutchwork, and JUST enough legs for steep 1st gear climbs

On a side note.
The '18 on up bikes have an adjustable rear chain block. Adjust it down to accommodate the bigger rear sprocket. |

Wow, I don't know how you guys ride with such steep gearing. I guess here in AZ the top speeds are fast enough that it just wouldn't work for me. I even ride hike-a-bike stuff and do nasty loose hill climbs and never have needed more than 13/48 gearing.

I recently went out on my new to me txt 280 trials bike at a dedicated trials park and to be honest it was the same terrain I ride on my Ec. So I am probably not using the bike as intended but it is so capable.

Pretty interesting feedback, thanks again. Here is a question- would the same chain be able to switch between a 50/52? Wheelbase changed aside...

I have used stock 13/48, 12/48 and 13/51. The 12/48 is the same ratio as your 13/52 but i preferred the handling with the 12/48 over the 13/51 and that boils dowwn to wheelbase. I would think the 13/52 would be even shorter.
The 12/48 was my favourite for the hike-a-bike stuff and i often started off in second. on the asphalt i could still get about 110km/h without wringing its neck too much gearingcommander.com shows that you will get quicker wear on this ratio as you will have the same tooth connecting with the same chain link every 3 chain revolutions - apparently this determines how quick it will wear, not sure what difference it make
