    2017 Husqvarna FE450. I know how incredibly loaded this question is, BUT here we go anyway. Any input on a “sweet spot” gear ratio for MT/ID trail/woods riding. Currently stock, which is 14-45 (3.21). Always seems a little high in 1st and 2nd gear. I’m never a wide open high end guy, but I do ride right from home a lot on public roads and also connect trails on a lot of nice dirt and pavement sections on trips… 50-70 mph at times for many miles. But primarily single track, woods, hills, USFS roads etc. Not the strongest rider by any means, moderate at best.

    Thoughts!? And again I know how incredibly subjective this topic is, but just wanting your experienced thoughts here please! Thanks!!!
