All are thinking that Shaolin has a fifth Gear for top speed, but it is actually a reduction Gear, where it takes 5 gears to achieve what Shogun's gearbox does in 4 Gears; both have 22:21 at top gear. Shaolin needs more torque at low end due to the reduction of 2 bhp; Shogun - 14 and Shaolin - 12; But Shadow must have got mileage/top speed Gear as it Got 16 horses in it; or else, they must have preferred up-sprocketing and have kept the same Gearbox; All Ax series have top gear ratio of 1:0.954; Shogun's gearbox is based on 16 bhp Supra SS, which had a 16 inch rear wheel; Supra SS is not designed for road-race but for dirt-race motocross.
