Looking for guys that geared down the 850 turbo. Im thinking of going to a 19t top gear, ride the steep and deep in the trees. No super long pulls.

I have a 19t on my '18 and I love it. Haven't heard many talk about it on the turbos.

Have you found a 19t for the turbo models? I didn't know the '21 and up Borg Warner compatible gear was available. I have to admit though, that I haven't done more than a half assed search.

Have a 19t on my ‘20 free ride and plan on doing it to my ‘22 turbo but as Shortline said, the gears have changed spec.

The turbos have the hyvo gears and they do make a 20t and 19t

I have a 19t on my 20.5 turbo. Initially I put it on to try and combat some belt heat issues but it didn’t help much. The Grip n Rip clutch alignment was the fix for that.

I ran the 19t on my 18 as well, it helped quite a bit on the 18. The benefits aren’t as noticeable on the turbo, it hits on the bottom/mid so well already.

The turbo has such good bottom end, doubt it’ll help much. I’d put my energy and money into good clutching and alignment, that’ll be far more beneficial than gearing.
