[QUOTE="KaTooMer, post: 744976, member: 16246"] True - the first two gears on the 2-stroke KTM's are the same whether it's an MXC or EXC. The disadvantage (in my mind, at least) is the wide EXC gap between 2nd and 3rd. I always felt that 3rd gear on my old EXC was too high for most of my trail work, but 2nd gear wasn't quite high enough. I've solved that on my MXC and my KX by going with a 14/50 sprocket combo. For some, that's a bit tall for 1st and 2nd, but it gives me more workable 2nd and 3rd gears. But the wide ratio trannies still have more top end speed. So it's a tradeoff. In a perfect world the 250/300EXC would be a 6-speed, with 1st-5th being the close ratio of the MXC, and 6th gear being "overdrive". [/QUOTE]
