This is a video that should be mandatory for all UTV owners.👍

Scott is the man! He gave me some great pointers in my trans rebuild. He's for sure a guru in the gear reduction world! And also someone I consider a friend.

Most informative video I’ve watched!

Great video! Lots of good info.

Great info! So my 21 RZR XP 1000 Trails and Rocks edition came with a 50% gear reduction in low range and 30” tires. Does this factory gear reduction mean it’s safer for me to bump to a 32” tire without adding undue stress on the drive train?

I'm not out West. Do you have any recommendations on where I can take my machine to have gear reduction done to Turbo S. Plan on running 35s, and carry gear tools. The 60% in low I think is what I want too.

Hopefully any UTV shop should be able to do it.

I’d be curious to know exactly what gear sets he is using. I’ve been researching this for a while for my Pro and trying to decide if i want to gear down or not for 32s. It seems pretty happy on hard pack but feels like a total slug in the sand even after dropping tire pressure to as low as 7psi.

The gear set is from RCR, but you can reach out to Scott. His info is in the description below. 👍 -Garrett

The Kawasaki’s already have lower gearing, and wet clutch for smooth takeoffs

Do you have a link to buy the 16% gear reduction for the pro xp?

I desperately need an answer that even polaris themselves can’t answer! I have a 2018 570 utility that comes with a factory gear reduction, i know i go about 10 mp/h less than a normal model but i dont seem to have more acceleration? What tire size could i put on to be about like the normal ones i have 25 tires how higher could i go without going to far

@DerangedOffRoad

With a 570, probably 28s would be the max size in my opinion.

what if you put on 4in portal with a 15% gear reduction ? do you also do the rear end

The great thing about a gear reduction is it is more customizable. You can gear low and high individually where with portals you are essentially doing a 15% across the board. Not to mention portals are big money compared to what we did. -Dave

Scott did all the ordering and install. You can reach out to him. His info is in the description but it was the gears from RCR not factory. -Garrett

Depending on what you go with, around $900 to $1300.

SO what about the front end gear ratio when you get into 4 wheel drive and the front and rear locked together!

@DerangedOffRoad

2 жыл бұрын

From Scott: The driveline connects to the transmission so the front diff will always spin the same speed as the trans no matter how you gear it. Think of basically that the transmission acts as the rear differential, and transfer case all in one. 👍-Garrett

@@DerangedOffRoad Garrett, I may be wrong but I think what Wayne Owen is saying is that it seems with the current set up the following will occur: Although the trans output will spin the front drive shaft the same as the rear, once power goes through the pinion and ring ratio, the output at the axles/tires will be different. I hope I made sense what I said…

What kinda top end are people doing with gear reduction

Really it stays about the same you will just get there sooner and a little higher rpm.

Garrett, does anyone make a gear reduction for the KRX?

@DerangedOffRoad

2 жыл бұрын

Not that I know of, but at the same time the KRX is geared pretty low so that’s probably why most just mess with the clutches on them. -Garrett

Are you doing the gear reduction due to the 32s?

@DerangedOffRoad

2 жыл бұрын

We did it mostly due to the use this machine is going to get. It will spend a lot of time in the rocks and we’ll probably eventually go bigger than 32” tires . Plus we wanted to be sure that the trans was properly aligned with the engine so we can have the best possible belt life. -Dave
