2022 Templar X rear shock link

I removed the link while lowering the 2022 5 speed Templar X.

I don't think Zuumav makes the Titan 250. Did Zuumav or Wuyi Zuma appear on your MCO (manufacturer's certificate of Origin) when you bought it??

There's a 13 tooth sprocket up front. I think a 14 tooth sprocket would work if it fits. That'll get you about 8 percent increase. You can do the math on 15 tooth gearing if you think it'll fit.

Not sure there is room for a 15T front sprocket, but that would be a big change anyway(13T to 15T). I think 13 to 14 would be about a 7.6% increase, or 60 becomes ~64.5mph at same rpm, right?

As I recall, OEM sprockets are 13/49 = 0.2653

If you go to a 47T rear, new ratio is 13/47 = 0.2766

% inrease in gear ratio can be calculated
0.2766 - 0.2653 = 0.0113

0.0113/0.2766 * 100 ~...
