trail riding

[Brian060]

I've been looking for pipes, and love the rockets. I mostly do trails however, and was wondering if they would be any good? I am also considering fattys! WHats the power curve like on the rockets? Huge topend gain without any low or mid?

Does the huge size of the Rockets get in the way when woods RACING?

 

Also,

What exactly are powervalves and what do they do? How much do they increase performance?

 

Thanks,

-Brian

Rockets are often compared to CPI's and I use them for trail driving and I really like them alot. I had Fatty's before the CPIs and they are a good pipe also.

I've ridden on a set of Rockets, but they were on a stroker w/ little jetting. From what I've experienced and what others have said, I'd stay away from any high rev pipe when trial riding. You'll constantly be shifting the gears and slipping the clutch constatnly to keep the revs up into the power, stay w/ a midrange pipe for trails...

get some ptr mids ull love em for trails

rockets dont get in the way for trails but youll lose bottom end ,this can be regained easily enough through higher static compression,if i was into trails id be looking at pro circuits i really like thier smooth powerful style in the woods

I've been riding T-5's on trails for 4 years...Rode PC's one time on the trail and now I'm looking to trade my T-5's for fatty's or maybe pC's.T-5's are a pain in the ass to stay in the power!!!!You really don't use the top of the pipe on the trails.
