Ratio Calculator

Pick a front and a rear sprocket and get your final drive ratio.

The drivetrain, live

42 ÷ 14 = 3.00 : 1

14T front, 42T rear — the rear wheel turns once for every 3.00 turns of the countershaft.

1 — The setup

One slider for the front sprocket, one for the rear. That’s the whole tool — set the teeth and read the ratio.

How to read the ratio

Final drive ratio = rear teeth ÷ front teeth. A bigger number means shorter gearing — quicker acceleration, engine spinning faster at speed. A smaller number means taller gearing — calmer cruising, more top speed if the engine can pull it.

Good to know

Front teeth hit harder

One tooth on the front is worth roughly 2.5–3 teeth on the rear. That’s why “−1 front” is the classic first mod — cheap, easy to fit, and you feel it everywhere. Rear changes are finer tuning.

Watch your chain length

Bigger total tooth changes can need a longer or shorter chain — about every 4 teeth of total change moves the axle roughly one link’s worth. Check chain slack after any swap, and don’t run a tight chain to make it fit.
