Stock gearing with 20 inch rears on the 416.

14 up front when 22's get put out back.

A 35t in the rear for XC really??? I hardly even hear of guys running that for MX... You still have enough bottom for the woods and hills??

I live in florida so there are no hills but it makes first gear usable and the 460 has the power to pull it without alot of shifting.I have had many yfz riders do a double take at the end of a long straight,they can'y believe i'm still on there butt.

14 and 39 torches the woods on mine!! I use 20"rears and 21" fronts when not too harsh of terrain. and when it gets hairy, back to 38 in rear along with 22" and 23" s up front. I guess It's all preference, bike mods, and terrain. So everyone will have different set-ups. Reaper
