don't know what tires come stock on that one but my spree got an extra 4-5mph by going to a taller tire. Might be worth looking into depending on what tires are on it now.

tires you can go with 90/90/10, play around with the rollers in the variator, i'd just buy a rumia or keli vari(better then stock :imo: ) then mess with rollers. im running 7.5 gram in mine. you can get a rumia vari for around 40.00. you can get secondary gears 9:1 for around 50.00. rollers you can pick up a cheap set of tuneing rollers to find what works best for you the buy a good set once you have found it. put in some 2k clutch grab springs to improve launch. the vari,gears,and good set of rollers and grab springs will set you back about 130.00. tires im not sure of what they run.
