The amount of drive torque one wheel can get over the other is described as the\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003e bias ratio\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e, a measure of the torque split across the axle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStandard, open differentials have a bias ratio of 1:1. They can only apply as much drive torque as there is available traction at one wheel. When one wheel loses grip, the total available drive is lost as well (at a 1:1 ratio). All your power goes out the slipping wheel - along the path of least resistance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTorque biasing differentials offer increased bias ratios over open differentials. For example, if a diff has a bias ratio of 2.5:1, then it can apply drive torque to the wheel with the most traction (gripping wheel) at 2.5 times the traction limit of the wheel with the least traction (slipping wheel). This is a significant improvement over an open diff… most of the time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe problem is that when one tire has \u003cstrong\u003eLITTLE\u003c\/strong\u003e or \u003cstrong\u003eNO\u003c\/strong\u003e grip (zero axle-load), the other wheel gets \u003cstrong\u003eZERO DRIVE\u003c\/strong\u003e, because (basic math here): 2.5 x 0 = 0.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLift a wheel (or substantially unload a wheel) and you get zero axle-load on that side - that means that during the time the wheel is unloaded, the typical diff will \u003cstrong\u003eNOT\u003c\/strong\u003e power the wheel that’s still on the ground.
