I put the front 250 Rippin Moto floating rotors on my 2023 Sting R MX4. Rode about 100 trail miles so far and I like them! The difference in braking performance is subtle, but noticeable. They do have much less fade on long downhills though. If you're looking for that final boss upgrade, this is it. I pair them with Shimano H03A (resin) pads for the best performance.
awesome setup! those are great pads - for me the reduction in fade was substantial too. I’m running mine with TRP DHR evos now because they’re made for the wider rotors - unbelievable package
@@logan-taylor When you say "wider rotors", are you talking about the thickness of the rotor or the inner vs outer diameter? My stock Talaria rotors are 2.3mm just like the Rippin Moto ones ... Great videos BTW!
Have you tried HO3C pads? I ran the H03As up front for a few months and preferred them over the stock pads. However, recently just switched to the Ho3c pads and like them a lot more.
At some point the weight gets heavier if that matters to you and it will hit obsticles easier. Also the amount of pistons plays a large factor also. I run larger rotors on the front than the rear since your weight shifts to the front during braking and requires more stopping power than the rear. Just got the 220mm Maguras for my Grizzly :)
The meguras are sick! And true - those are all factors. I think they sell just the front kit of these, which is probably more than enough for most bikes. But for long & repeated wheelies, a huge rear rotor just helps me keep heat under control :)
@@logan-taylor yeah my Grizzly can’t wheelie with that heavy front hub motor. I haven’t seen anyone do one lol. Maybe I’ll stand on the pegs and try lol. I did swap my brake lines so the left is rear.
@@LesFishingMoreCatching dude DO IT!!! That would be so sick, I bet you could just grab some nice pegs on Amazon and be the first Grizzly wheelie god!!
When your brakes lock your tires loose nearly all grip and you become less stable. This is why ABS exist. There is no reason to increase brake performance without increasing grip as you are just putting yourself at risk especially in emergencys where you will panic brake. If you want to reduce brake fade you want a thicker rotor or something that dissopates heat faster.
correct - these are thicker and dissipate heat better, but they never lock up unexpectedly for me. I think it’s a good idea for anyone with a bike to practice emergency braking on different surfaces so they understand how the brakes react.
Yea but if you have ever ridden a surron you'll know that your never locking your front tire up on pavement. I have sram code r's and these 250mm rotors and still haven't locked my front wheel on pavement. Even on dry dirt trails it is hard to lock up the front wheels
@@johnbrown562 I do ride a surron. I rid one right into someone who cut me off while I was going 40. I don't know if my front locked up for sure but my rear did on good pavement.
just a warning: ripping moto sells these in non-floating style for cheap... and they are dangerously unsafe. They warp badly when they get warm and push the pads back into the calipers, leading the lever to go to the bar next time you pull it. Me and others have had this issue, I was lucky enough to catch onto this early, but someone looped out and had a bad crash. Super unsafe, super sus. Im sure the floating rotors are fine though
oh no!! Rippin actually just emailed me last week that they removed the old style and are no longer selling it, so I guess that’s why. I had heard about slight warping with the old style (hence the new floating design + increased thickness) but didn’t know it was that bad - that’s awful. so far i’ve gotten no warping or issues with these, but i check all the grommets pretty frequently to make sure nothing is loosening up. I’m glad they’re no longer selling the non-floating version, I hope everyone’s doing okay who crashed - really scary.
I have a Wallke H6MAX folding Ebike that comes stock on 203mm Rotors.. it’s a 20x4 wheel and the total weight is about 100-110 pounds. Can I use these rotors on my bike would they be compatible??? My bike also has 6 bolt rotors
So quick question do you have to upgrade your calipers to fit the rotor thickness? Or can you run the stock calipers with a different pad to fit the rotor?
I believe you can run stock calipers, but I'm not 100% sure because stock rotors are 1.8mm if i'm not mistaken. There might be a small amount of pad rub, so I'd just prepare for that possibility haha
the front probably will but I would double check with rippin moto! The rear is a different bolt pattern, so i’d recommend emailing rippin to see if there’s a way to make it work
possibly - these rotors may be a bit too thick, so your pads might rub. But if they work with Hope's 2.3mm thick rotors then they'll probably work just fine!!
Pfft! Emoto has many reasons that bicycle brakes are not compatible. Tell ya what, let's install Kia brakes on an F350 Super Duty and load it to capacity. Then the brass of the Emoto company can drive it down the Continental Divide. Let us know how that ends... Bicycle brakes do not have the mass to transfer heat fast enough with load and speeds these bikes are running at. 200+ pound emoto + 200 pound rider is the equivalent of a beached whale riding my mountain bike. Even with DOT 5.1, there is going to be catastrophic failure incoming. Especially when the phenolic pistons fail due to heat damage.
Absolutely sick edit my dude

**thickness, not sure why i wrote “wide” haha. Sting R’s brakes are soooo much better than the surrons it’s crazy. And thank you!

@@logan-taylor lol it comes with fold out pegs for a rear passenger I think those will do I hope haha
I think these plus the new formula emoto brakes might be the most affordable emoto specific complete brake set out there for now.
Great points man!! I enjoy all your videos! Decal change I also notice?
thanks man!! and yep, updates on the vinyl wrap will come soon, working on a couple ideas!

Your videos are awesome! New subscriber here 👋🏼 I’m wondering if I can put this kit on the eride pro SS? Do you know?

Dude you make some 🔥videos. Wont be long before you pop off.
I appreciate it so much bro 🫡
can i ask which tires / rim setup you are running? like size and brand?
Hey, I just got the front one in and I’m having trouble putting on the front caliper with the extension. Please help me.
is it worth it to upgrade rear from 220 or just front? on a talaria
Does the full kit come with rotor bolts?
1:06 to save pads 😅 50km a day 5/7 all year long for me
that’s another reason i didn’t include, great point

very soon
Great video
thank you 🙏
Where can you buy one of the surrons
Nice bro!! 🔥
thanks g!
so sick
do you think these work on my talaria xxx
the front probably will but I would double check with rippin moto! The rear is a different bolt pattern, so i’d recommend emailing rippin to see if there’s a way to make it work
Do they work on the talria xxx
yes u have to pick the talaria version
just ordered hope tech brakes for my ron can io get this rotor to work on my bike
possibly - these rotors may be a bit too thick, so your pads might rub. But if they work with Hope's 2.3mm thick rotors then they'll probably work just fine!!
You haven’t posted recently hopefully it’s because there’s a big project or something 😅😅
hahaha yes, projects and I injured myself, so there’s a video coming about that :)
Lol my razor uses 180/190mm rotors and calipers from a crf50
that’s a sick upgrade TBH
