whilst they are better for road cars i dont think i would recomend for off road applications. they do make the engine a little revier and a little more ballsy (not much) but they make it easier to stall and rougher at very low rpm. its easy enough to stall a zook as it is. more prone to breaking stuff keeping the revs up and dumping clutch harder etc etc.

i would also think it would heat up faster burning clutches out more quickly if you slip them for prolonged periods.

From my experience when fitting a g16a and using the g13a flywheel this seems to be a perfect weighted flywheel and lets the engine rev nice without making it difficult to drive. In my coily I lightened the g13b flywheel as much as I could and it ended up terrible. It revs like crazy but is very jumpy and wont hold the revs up hill and surges on the road so you always have to drive in a lower gear to keep the revs up. 4th gear on the open road or it dies. A bit of weight off is ok but dont go too much unless its a race car.
