- Trying out the new wheel!
Stock coil shock bottoms out like crazy with the 900lb spring so if I were you I would look into air shock options before taking it out on a real trail ride like this. I believe Chance is currently working with Begode to modify the suspension so stay tuned!
Stoked on the power and travel of this wheel!
A fan 🎉😊
great riding gents
Sick vid! Real quick: What gloves are those?
Thank you! Hillbilly wrist guard gloves 👍
Well done Bud.... Getting my Extreme in a few weeks can't wait hehe.... Thanx 4 sharing
NIce rides as always! btw how are those mobius x8 knee braces? busted my left knee, 26th sep surgery and will need some brace to prevent worse next time.Grtz
Thanks dude! Yeah these are the x8. I haven’t had any other knee brace/guards so I can’t compare them to anything but they seem to be doing well. They don’t limit my motion, they are not very breathable if that matters
@@trubttam Dont mind that much about breathability, sind i busted my knee and get surgery the 26st I will need a brace just to be save, but my specialist show my some but they were instant like 1200 for 1 knee.
wow there is no dogs
and thus there is no dog poo 🙏
Great riding as always! Good to start to see a variety of riders testing this wheel out. Definitely looks promising once the kinks are worked out.
It’s a lot of fun for sure. Super unfortunate about the coil shock fiasco but that’s how it goes I guess lol. Air shock is feeling nice 👌
@@trubttam Nice I bet its super smooth with the air shock. I saw Chooch bent the linkage (if thats what its called) for the suspensions aswell after bottoming it out while riding trails. If it can handle your jumps thats a very good sign. love the way the wheel looks too. More metal less plastic.
Im in SoCa, where is this at? My extreme will arrive in 2-3wks. Willl def change out suspension tho.
Sycamore Canyon
@@trubttam In Poway?
Oh I forgot there’s more than one Sycamore Canyon lol
It’s in riverside by the Jenson USA warehouse
@@trubttam Awesome! Thanks will check it out once wheel arrives
Wait it doesnt accommodate the X2?! Why?
Same size no?
I'm ordering the Extreme with the DS200 shock. I noticed that this video is 8 months old. Do you have a more recent video with the upgraded shock and the 50S cells? What are your thoughts?
yeah, we really need beefier springs as they take 100% of the load and don't have much travel.
How did your suspension pin thing hold up. (bar that mounts through the top of the shock)?
I’m suspecting that the spring on the production models just doesn’t have a long enough stroke so it’s limiting the shock from traveling out and the sliders never bottom out the spring just bottoms out on itself and then the pin gets bent. Mine was bent but I fixed it.
O dude, thats some crazy rock crawling/climbing! On the 1st freakin ride!!! Based on what Chance says with his coil shock, no doubt BG cheaped out on the coil. Hope its gets handled as everything rocks (pun intended 😁). Re, the trolley popping for you, maybe try a easy velcro fix ie. long strip over the handle?. Great ride Matt
How many miles have you gone or could go with the 40T cell without charging on a trail ride? Or just a ride in general ?
Makes me consider cancelling my order and wait for at least batch 2... But the itch to get a suspension wheel and go do some jumping is overwhelming.. And the Adventure is just about to be announced...
What to do...
If you get the air shock you’ll be fine. The spring they sourced for the coil shock seems to be the issue
The new in motion does look good tho. We will see how their slider tube seals hold up
@@trubttam Roger EUC broke his air shock the first day and replaced it with a coil shock instead.
Look into the Commander Mini. Much better suspension but otherwise similar to the Extreme/Patton
@@ElectricUnicycles I have been looking, but I want a dedicated offroad wheel and commander mini seems more like a street racer to me. I do like the look and sturdyness of it though. I don't know anyone yet that have one so I could try it.
Coil shock with no compression dampening, doesn't surprise me at all with the bottoming out. When I ran that shock on the master, I was running 1500lb and could still bottom out on occasion. They're cheaping out on the shock imo. The S22 style shock should have been the bare minimum
Yeah we are also suspecting that the spring on the production models has to little stroke so it’s limiting the shocks travel and hitting the pin before the sliders truly bottom out. Air shock is doing good
@@trubttam So the spring that is shipping with the units doesnt have enough throw for the shock travel? Begode really living up to their name haha
My guess is that it's a demographic thing. Where does Begode sell more EUC's? Asia, N America, Europe? What's that riders average body weight? Sounds like that Extreme is sprung for a 150lb kitted rider.
no its basically a failed math problem, they used a spring that only compresses like 30 mm when the linkage and shock are capable of traveling 50mm so you lose 20mm shock stroke and the shock is 20mm to long when fully compressed, that's why the pins are getting bent as well. @@jmsmith1019
Sounds like the compression dampening circuit is weak or non exsistent. Some compression adjustment would keep the small bump sensitvity and resist big bumps and drops....something not possible on cheap or poorly designed suspension (hence why ill only buy veteran suspension wheels)
I wonder if they didnt build enough progression into the geometry? (as a reason why its blowing through travel)
No it’s just the spring they used on the coil shock. Huge fail on Begodes end. It only compresses like 1/2 the stroke that it should lol.
There is a way to mod one of the connections in the linkage to allow for a piggyback reservoir. At first I wasn’t willing to do the mod but I ended up trying it after this ride. Unfortunately because the x2 is unique in having the air can and oil reservoir in opposing ends of the shock it still wouldn’t fit. The air can ends up getting in the way near full compression 😢
What speeds are you averaging on those trails?
I'm coming from a mountain bike and wanna know if I can get a similar experience.
When it’s fast and flowy we go around 30-35, when it’s technical downhill we are usually a little slower than average skilled mtb but if it’s flat or there’s climbing EUC is faster
@trubttam awesome thank you. Great riding btw
After all the time Chance was working on this with Begode, how the hell is it bottoming out so easily? Must be a big disappointment for all the jumpers out there that thought it was going to be EXTREME 🙂
The 900lbs coil chance was using is different from what begode sent with this batch; it's shorter so the spaces between each coil is too small to account for the full travel of the shock.
Do you think the S22 spring would fit on the extreme shock? i know its only 750 lbs, but might work better due to not bottoming out?
For your riding style, what is your opinion on if a 20 inch or 16 inch wheel is optimum?
At the moment I would lean more toward 20 inch. More contact with the ground and rolls over rough obstacles easier.
damn begode.... I've got an extreme coming soon with the 900 lbs coil and I was hoping it would compete with the S22 suspension. How has Begode still not learned to copy the suspension linkage geometry from third parties who sell upgraded linkage for their wheels 🤦♀
The linkage is ok, what happened is they sourced a shit spring when they mass ordered for the extreme. The demo spring was totally different. The production spring ended up basically limiting the shock from fully compressing so every bottom out all the force was going straight thru the shock into the pin without the sliders ever reaching the motherboard case.
If I were you I wouldn’t get to serious on the extreme until you get the shock sorted
This is the 40t version? How is it?
Punchy
Description says 40T. Do you really have the first 40T battery extreme? And if so, how did you get it? That’s the wheel I’m trying to get…
air shipped from china
@@trubttam so it really is a 40T. Do you have a rep you went through?
You got robbed lol
ok so, i'll wait 6 month before buy it. shitty batch 1 not dead
take a hard hole on suspension
T4 is lame😢. sweet jumps bro🤙
Thanks dude 🤙🫡
You’ll get more subscribers if you use the F word less. It doesn’t bother me, just some advice.
Fuck em
