Hey, noob here, I keep seeing people say use a ruck vario. Is there a reason for this? Is there a performance change?

The increase in front-circle diameter from 87.5mm to 92 gives taller belt drive "gearing" and potentially higher top speed. No low-end penalty on take-off.

REALLY???!!?!? crap. I just bought a malossi multivar haha I guess I should have ordered one for a ruckus. So, should I get a stock one for a ruckus, or should I get a aftermarket variator meant for a ruckus?

Thanks for the quick reply by the way. I've been lurking on this site for months, it helped me out crazy, because of this site I got my aero 50 running really good so far.

The Malossi product enjoys a good reputation. Measure it, I suspect it's 89mm, close enough and you don't need to carve your crankcase. Install it if it's paid for; the Ruck is probably no better.
