1. What is Torque Increase?

The Torque Increase calculation shows how much additional torque your vehicle gains when using SuperATV portal gears. This is directly proportional to the portal ratio you select.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses a simple formula:

Where:

• Portal Ratio — The gear ratio of your SuperATV portals (e.g., 1.5:1, 2.0:1)

Explanation: A 2.0 portal ratio means you get 200% of your original torque (a 100% increase over stock).

3. Importance of Portal Gears

Details: Portal gears not only increase torque but also provide additional ground clearance by moving the axle centerline above the wheel centerline.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Simply enter your portal gear ratio (typically 1.5, 2.0, or other available ratios from SuperATV).

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What's a typical portal ratio?
A: SuperATV offers several ratios, with 2.0:1 being very common for significant torque multiplication.

Q2: Does this affect top speed?
A: Yes, higher portal ratios reduce top speed while increasing torque. The relationship is inverse.

Q3: Are there other benefits to portals?
A: Yes, they provide increased ground clearance and often stronger axle components.

Q4: How does this compare to gear reduction in differentials?
A: The torque multiplication is similar, but portals provide the additional benefit of ground clearance.

Q5: Can I combine portal gears with lower differential gears?
A: Yes, the torque increases multiply, but top speed would be significantly reduced.
