60 tooth rear sprocket

[Bossman1]

I have a Coleman CT200U-EX. I thought I would swap to a 60 tooth rear sprocket for more climbing torque. Stock is 50. Those who have done this how did it affect your top end speed. I read somewhere it may be as much as 5 mph less. If true that may be too much. It's not very fast as it is with the 50 tooth. And I assume it takes 10 additional #420 chain links or is it something else? TIA

Add a torque converter and a 60 tooth rear sprocket. You will be amazed at your climbing ability and you might even see a small increase in your top speed.

Dont want a torque converter. Just the 60 tooth sprocket

If you are already used to and like slow speed trail riding you should like the 60 tooth.

It just comes down to you deciding if the trade off for more low end is worth the loss in top speed.
