Hi Justin.


The diff. lock is for driving under severe conditions, as off-road or
winter driving. The diff lock makes for a 50/50 split of power, and locking
both wheels on one axle together, so both wheels are spinning in exact same
speed. This is very useful when doing some off-road driving, and you are
stuck with one rear wheel off the ground. If you mostly do street driving,
you will not miss it much, as the Syncro system is enough for regular
winter driving.
