Alex29573 Posted August 4, 2010 Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 hi, can anyone tell me why they would run either or? from what i've researched, they're both nikasil, 72mm bore only difference i see is that cheetah's have powervalves (which i would block off) do they take the same pistons (something around $300 a set) thanks to all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAVAGE420 Posted August 4, 2010 Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 From what i gather, the super has a smaller intake side on them. Same size as stock jugs so the reeds and intakes from stock or cubs will bolt right up as well as the head. Also heard that it's (intakes) are just to small to keep up with the rest of the cyl properly . The cheetah uses YZ250 intake and reads as the intakes are much larger. Also uses its own head and domes. Pretty sure the port layout is a little different also. Someone correct me if im wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone correct me if im wrong. the super cub 72mm takes a bigger head and the cheetah uses cr style reed cages and the t-rex uses 1995 style yz-250 reed cages,I've owned both annd the cheetah are a 6 hole bolt pattern.

No Limit Powersports Posted August 4, 2010 Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 The supercub uses a standard banshee reed/intake setup but it does take a different head. It is only available in a 72 bore. The cheetah uses a trx250 reed and is available in 68-74.5 bore sizes depending on piston availability. The super cub has gotten a bad rap from having to small of an intake on the larger stroke models. There is minimal gain from a cub to the super cub especially on the small stuff. The cheetah really starts to shine at or above 480cc because of the larger intake design. Also the cheetah has power valves if you want them. The super cub and the cheetah are both made by CP industries and have the same transfer design. The cheetah is only available threw trinity or one of there authorized dealers like us. The super cub is available threw any CP industries authorized dealer, also like us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex29573 Posted August 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2010 thanks everyone but i think i got a good deal on a 10mm cub, maybe one day i'll put a cheetah top end on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLORYDER Posted August 6, 2010 Report Share Posted August 6, 2010 I say go for the cheetah. Tons of bottom end grunt that blends seamlessly into that top end rush. WAY more enjoyable to ride and much less tiring than the cub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
