Default Chaincase gearing

Hello everypeoples. I'm just curious if anyone knows how to put a little more snap out of the hole on my sled.
I've always run 19/43.
But I was wondering if there was a better suggestion.

I'd like to run 23/41.
Would I have to get a new chain?
Change anything else?
What all would this affect?


Thanks in advance.

What are your goals with re gearing? It sounds like you want more acceleration? It was hard to beat the 19/43 (2.26)combination in the edge chassis. If you need more snap, you should look to your clutching.
Going to 23/41 (1.78) would be the exact opposite of what you would want to do. That would be some incredible top speed if you are flat land lake racing , but won't do much for you in the mountains. I guess I'm making some assumptions here as I don't know where you ride or what sled you have. Hope that helps though.

Time left until the Mayan calander runs out.:
