What is the relationship between the number of teeth on a motorcycle sprocket and speed?
1 Answers
With a fixed number of teeth on the front sprocket: the more teeth on the rear sprocket, the more powerful the start, but the lower the top speed; the fewer teeth on the rear sprocket, the weaker the start, but the higher the top speed. Here is some related information about sprockets: Number of gear plates: The number of gear plates on a sprocket can be single, double, or triple, designed for high-intensity use. In terms of materials, for cranks of similar strength, those made from high-quality aluminum alloy are lighter, offering better cost performance. Carbon fiber cranks have excellent rigidity and are slightly lighter than aluminum ones, but they are more expensive and more prone to damage in case of a fall. Steel cranks are the strongest but also the heaviest. Bearings: Sprockets now use external bottom brackets, meaning larger bearings are placed outside the frame, near the ends of the axle. In theory, this arrangement makes the entire sprocket system stronger and more rigid, while also extending the lifespan of the bearings.
