Old school 10/10 inch Wheel pit bikes Vs. 12/14 Inch wheel pit bikes.

Hey guys,

I have a 12 rear and 14 front on my bike.

My bro in law has an old 110cc 10 inch on front and rear and a shorter wheel base.

Basically, them seem similar in speed, though when riding his, it likes to wheelie and the power snaps on sharper.

Mine would not quite be run in yet and his is about two eyars old...

Do the smaller bikes get a better power delivery through the smaller wheel and the shorter wheel base make it front wheel happy?

Will mine feel better once its run in and wind faster through the revvs?

ATM I am favouring the older style smaller bikes as they seem to carry the power much better, hopefully when mine breaks in and the motor is looser, it feels better.

Any thoughts?

10" Wheel bikes always feel snapper and lift the front wheel easier. This is a combination of lower gearing due to wheel size and a shorter wheel base length. Also as most 110s are centrifugal clutch I think they genereally have a heavier flywheel more and exhaust back pressure and are thus more torquey off the mark. 10" wheel bike are heaps of fun and easy to stunt but your bike will be faster on the track cause it will handle better and keep the front wheel on the ground.

Put a bigger rear sprocket on and it will feel quicker off the mark.

I think it will go a little better when run in. But I think a the little 110 will always "feel" faster / torqueyer. But bear in mind through most sections of track its generally better to have the front wheel on the ground. The 10" 110s are only really good at stunting or really tight track.
