Gearing down the axys?

Braaap12 · Nov 15, 2016

Sorry if it's been asked before, I have a kurts geardown kit and clutch kit on my 14 pro. Looking at getting into an axys and they said the pro belt and gears won't work. I read somewhere that if I use my stock pro belt and gears on the axys it gears it down? Is gearing a axys down even really needed? I sure like how it made my pro ride. Also looking at getting a tki kit but not sure the best ratio. Looking to get a 2.6 155. Thanks guys!

The gears should bolt on. The belt would be the issue. I have installed pro gears on my axys with axys qd belt. Waiting for snow for testing

X2. I installed two sets of stock 13-15 qd pro gears with axys belts on two new 17s I think it will work good, makes the ratio 2.38 pretty close to kurts 2.40 on the pro. Guys did this with success last season, I see no reason why it would have a problem.

Are the bolts the same?

Use your Axys bolts, the lower bolt is different from the 13-15 models.

FWIW, I ran the QD pulleys from my '14 Pro on my Axys all last season and they, as well as the original Axys belt, will on for this season.

The axys is already geared lower than the pro. I rode an axys with kurts gear down last year and thought it was too low for me. Seemed like it lost quite a bit of the top end.

I actually geared mine up to 2.10. I installed Avid 8T 2.86 drivers and then the QD pulleys from my '14. It pulled extremely hard (aka ran like a raped ape) once I got the clutching sorted out running the BMP stage 3 kit and a Tied secondary.

Like its been mentioned in other gear down threads, you really should change the secondary helix to something steeper when you gear down

Agreed, and even in stock form the straight cut helix is lame to what it should/ could be. It's really is noticeable on boost, that it is a weak link.

Would running my 14 pro QD gears and a kurts clutch kit work since it's close to the same ratio as there gear down kit?
