V-force Reeds For Beta Evo 290?

Featured Replies

I had these reeds on my rev3 270, has anyone put them on the evo? Are they available for the evo and would it improve the power?

Yes they fit it's the same reed set. Maybe some one will chim in on how they work in the EVO.

Has no one installed the V-Fore reeds on this bike yet?

Apparently not but when I get an EVO it's the first thing I'll add. The difference in my 05 & 08 was immense.

in what way and would boysens be better or worse?

You know when you're in a rush at the end of the day and you shift into 2nd for some twisty climby section and realize five feet into the section you're in 3rd and there's no good place to shift so you just ride it? Well with the Vforce reeds the bike will just pull you through without a sputter. I can honestly pull a gear higher at low RPM with the Vforce. I did talk to one guy at the national this weekend who put Vforce in his EVO. His comment was, "I don't know if I can stall the thing now. With the stock reeds I was stalling all over the place." That pretty much sums up my experiance with the Vforce on my '05 and '08 Rev3. Luv 'em.

I can't speak to the Boyesens as I have no experiance with them but I assume it is similar. The idea being a reed with less mass can react to changes in air pressure quicker so they maintain a higher crankcase pressure which means more power at low RPM. Effect at top end for the trials application is almost moot since the bike is making more power then 90% can use anyway.
