Crawl Ratio Performance Guide
| Crawl Ratio Range | Rating | Best For | Characteristics |
|---|---|---|---|
| 100:1 and higher | Excellent | Extreme rock crawling | Ultra-precise control, very slow speeds |
| 70:1 - 99:1 | Very Good | Technical rock crawling | Great control, ideal for most obstacles |
| 50:1 - 69:1 | Good | Moderate rock crawling | Good control, handles most terrain |
| 30:1 - 49:1 | Fair | Trail riding | Basic control, limited technical ability |
| Under 30:1 | Poor | Street/highway | Little to no crawling ability |
Note: Crawl ratio is calculated as: Transmission Low × Transfer Case Low × Axle Ratio. Distance per revolution = (Tire Diameter × π) ÷ Crawl Ratio
