Will a bigger sprocket on the front give you more acceleration?

The key to better acceleration or higher top speed is ratios, but if you change to a smaller sprocket at both ends the changes will cancel each other out and leave you pretty much where you started. If you want faster acceleration go for a smaller front or for a bigger rear.

∙ 13y agoIt all depends on how many teeth your selected sprockets have. Larger sprockets add speed, but reduce acceleration and torque. Smaller sprockets increase acceleration and torque, but reduce top speed.

Does a bigger sprocket give higher top speed?
A bigger front sprocket gives a higher top speed. A bigger rear sprocket gives a lower top speed. A bigger front sprocket is less torque more top speed, and a bigger rear sprocket is more torque less top speed.
Sprocket to make motorcycle faster?
2 up in the back 1 down in the front, will give a better race time, faster acceleration, but take a little off top speed
What is the difference between a smaller front ring and a bigger front ring on a bmx bike?
A bigger front ring will take more strength to turn, but if you are strong enough it will give a greater top speed for the same rate of turn of the pedals than what a smaller ring would. Going to fewer teeth on the rear sprocket will do the same thing.
What happens when you have a small sprocket?
First you need to be clear about what you're talking about.In regular Bike-speak, sprockets go at the rear, and chainrings/chainwheels go at the front.In BMX-speak, a sprocket goes at the front, and a driver goes at the rear.If you're speaking BMX, the most obvious difference is the size, the tooth count.For the same size driver, a bigger sprocket will make the bike slower off the start, but give it a higher top speed.For the same size driver, a smaller sprocket will make the bike quicker off the start, but give it a lower top speed.If you change the driver to match, start and top speed will remain the same, even with a smaller/bigger sprocket. A small sprocket will increase the ground clearance. Better if you're riding ramps as there's less risk of the sprocket/chain hitting the lip as you drop in. If you're not riding ramps, well, a smaller sprocket is still lighter, which is a kinda-sorta advantage. The downside is that the smaller they get, the faster they wear. And the chain wears too.

If you're strong enough to keep cranking at the same speed as before, then your bike will be faster.
Does a smaller sprocket make a pocketbike go faster?
yes and a smaller sprocket will give you a faster start up and larger sprocket will give you a higher top speed as long as your taking about the back sprocket other wise its flipped around.
What chainwheel size do 8 tooth drivers fit?
22 or 23 tooth sprocket will work. 23 will give you more top end speed for cranking at those huge gaps, while 22 will give you easier acceleration.
How do you make your 5.5 hp 4 stroke mini bike go faster?
It'll cost about $200 but its worth the money buy a torque converter. I can guarantee it will make your bike go from 25mph to 45 to 50mph. Or cheaper you can put a sprocket with less teeth on the back. Or a front sprocket that has more teeth than your stock sprocket. This will probally give you about 10mph more than what you got. The back sprocket can cost anywhere from 10 to 25 dollars front will cost you about 15
Can anybody give me the rear sprocket torque setting for an sv650 2008 please?
Rear: 60Nm Front: 145Nm Please see the related link below for more information.
What is the formula to find the mass when they give you the acceleration and mass?
You ignore the acceleration, and just give them the mass. Now, if they give you the acceleration and the applied force, you could use m = F/a.
Do you have an example of an acceleration word problem?
give sample of word problem of acceleration
How do you make a bmx bike?
Depends on what's holding it back. Humans, like all engines, can only turn the pedals with a certain amount of force and at a certain speed. If you feel you have power left, but can't spin the pedals any faster, then a bigger sprocket(by the pedals), or a smaller driver (at the rear wheel) will give you more top speed. But you'll need to push harder to get the bike going. If you have spin left, but not more power, then going to a smaller sprocket or a bigger driver might give you more top speed. It'll make it easier to get the bike going too.
