# Gear Ratios / Sprocket Changes

From the factory, the Rush SR ships with a 14T front sprocket and a 44T rear sprocket. The front sprocket is easy to change with a 32mm socket, and you can buy extra sprockets directly from RAW.

See the attached gear calculator for ratios. In short, if you are redlining in 6th, you should run a longer (higher-tooth) front sprocket. If you are not even making it into 6th, you should consider a shorter sprocket.

Our owners have also enjoyed changing sprockets to avoid "awkward" shift points. Sometimes it is better to redline 6th for a moment and enjoy shorter ratios on the rest of the track!

## Recommended Sprockets by Track (2026 Season)

These are community-tested starting recommendations. When in doubt, 14T is the safer choice — you'll occasionally rev-limit in 6th, but the tighter ratios are faster overall at most tracks.

| Track                     | Recommended | Notes                                   |
| ------------------------- | ----------- | --------------------------------------- |
| Carolina Motorsports Park | 14T         | Technical track, short straights        |
| Road Atlanta              | 15T         | Long back straight                      |
| Gingerman Raceway         | 14T         | Mix of low and medium speed             |
| Watkins Glen              | 15T         | Frontstretch and bus stop straight      |
| Lime Rock Park            | 14T         | Very technical, no long straights       |
| Laguna Seca               | 14T         | Corkscrew section punishes tall gearing |

**Rule of thumb:** If you're hitting the rev limiter in 6th for more than a few seconds, go up one tooth. If you never make it into 6th, go down one tooth.
