The downside of the PowerDrive from what I can see... and read somewhere... is the increased torque developed by the changing the chain drive ratio has to be handled by the transmission as well.

Whereas if you change the final drive, the torque handled by the tranny will be reduced in favour of slightly higher rpm's.

True/false??
