The following question arises for me: The H2R breaks the 400 km/h upper limit with the 18/42 gear ratio. According to measurements from EC. The H2 can “only” achieve 311 km/h (GPS) @13,000 RPM at 18/44 The 18/42 of the H2R are probably pushed up to 14,500 RPM which should reach a top speed of 360km/h (GPS).
How can that be? How does the H2R achieve this high speed with such a small gear ratio? Can someone answer that?
EC Facts about gearing Standard final drive gear 18/44 311 km/h (193mph) @13000 rpm Front sprocket change only 19/44 328km/h (203mph) @ 13000 rpm Highest possible gearing on the factory damper drive and front sprocket 19/41 352km/h (218mph) @13000 rpm Extreme Creations Hyperdrive & 40 teeth sprocket, 19 tooth front sprocket. 19/40 361km/h (224mph) @ 13000 rpm Extreme Creations Hyperdrive & 38 teeth sprocket, 19 teeth front sprocket. 19/38 (22% taller than stock gearing) 380km/h (236mph) @ 13000 rpm Or 410 km/h (254mph) @14000 rpm (Note: this is with an ECU reflash to raise the rev limit)
