There is no actual brake on the engine. Any engine with a geared transmission will have an engine brake. If you're going down a hill in 1st gear, the transmission will keep you going very slowly, 2nd gear a little faster, etc. The clutch is essentially the same thing as a brake.

Except a diesel, they have virtually no engine braking even though they have very high compression.

The 500 is great for a lot of what we do too, except for the group rides. I'm definitely going to widen it though. Keeping up with the big machines gets downright scary in the rutted turns. I was going to go with 26x9" tires all the way around so I could keep riding on the 50" trails, but now I'm thinking 26x11 tires all the way around with wheel spacers. I'll assume it will still fit on most of the 50" trails.

You're going to want to add power steering if you go with 11" tires on the front.

Why is that?

Why is that?

I know right...big rigs do it everyday? They refer to it as Jake Braking.

I keep myself in pretty good shape. I think I'll be able to handle the manual steering.

Off topic but most diesel trucks have an engine brake. Whether it be Jake brake, power leash or manufacturer made,
Exhaust brakes were lost for a time as most manufacturers moved away from them but they are back and stronger than ever now, with Volvo,Mack, KW/Pete and Cummins integrating them with vga turbos in their manufacturer platform.
What used to be an engine brake you couldn't feel and really only made it so a truck sounded like it was getting chased in a lost episode of Mad Max now will stop a truck on 9% grade. Personally tested on Bisti.
