locogato11283 Posted November 29, 2004 Report Share Posted November 29, 2004 shorter swinger will make it more predictable and stable when jumping. it also makes taking corners easier. the shorter you go the better its gonna handle, however i can handle my +2 pretty well. if you are gonna be racing mx or runnin xc events then shorter will be better for you. the traction you will get will be even better as well. youll basically be sittin your ass right over the rear tires.

fixitrod Posted November 29, 2004 Report Share Posted November 29, 2004 (edited) I have a -2 and it really is more predictable in the air with it. You don't get the kick in the rear as much when leaving the lip so it makes the front end feel lighter.

tats4life Posted November 29, 2004 Report Share Posted November 29, 2004 you can leave the face of jumps a lot faster with a -2 than a stocker.....the quad is some much easier to jump and throw around in the air. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
