    A lot of MTB downhill racers use 220mm break rotors and I am surprised this bike doesn't come with those as stock. Obviously bigger rotors provide much better stopping power and they are less likely to overheat. So 220mm rotors (and adapters) can be a great cheap upgrade too.

    It needs some kind of rack for carrying and extra battery. Cruising trails at 20-30mph is something I could do all day.

    First upgrade is the threaded rod between the peg hangers so they don’t bend in and snap.... I also put a 125/250 seat in place of the stock (which seemed to be padded with rocks). The seat plus the upgrades you listed really increase the size to what it should be. I also beefed up the plate at the front of the swingarm after it broke initially... this helps take some of the twist out of the ass end. Nice video and awesome job crushing the motogrossers!

      @Zack Jordan Thanks man! Interesting mods you've done to yours as well. I'd love to see a photo of your bike with the moto seat. Hopefully it fills the gap between the front of the stock seat and the battery compartment? I feel like I'm over top of the battery compartment when trying to get aggressive in corners.
      Speaking of peg hangers, I've been looking to upgrade the footpegs. My feet don't stay planted on the stock ones because they're pretty dull and narrow compared to moto pegs.

    Watching the video again bud i would 100% get people too setup the correct fork and shock spring for there weight ect as the first upgrade.Most people are riding them preset from the factory and forget the suspension is not setup per the customer.As you know without correct tyres for the conditions and a bike with setup suspension the rest is meaningless.Even dropping the stanchions through the yokes made a huge difference on my build.I think these type of hybrid bikes react well too minor changes being so light weight.Looking forward for next vid bud and would love to see more 3rd person view of you ripping past the cam on a whoop section at speed.

    I’m so envious of your capability on the SurRon. I’m an old dude and I’m unwilling to ride the SurRon the way it is meant to be ridden. Old parts mend slowly. How much is a set of wheels and tires? I’ve been riding ebikes for 20yrs and wanted full suspension, was watching and commenting on a SurRon video and my wife said “if you like it so much get it “. Gotta obey the wife. When I was ordering it I wanted to get any options @ the same time so I “upgraded “ to the Super Moto package (I rode M/C’s when I was younger but haven’t kept up and didn’t know Super Moto was a road racing class).

    • @ElectricCycleRider
      @ElectricCycleRider  4 года назад

      @Theknifedude The most important thing is that you're having fun! A built wheel set with hubs for this bike will run you about $750 unless you build them yourself with your existing hubs. If you're riding a lot of rough off-road, I'd suggest it. Or just run it until you bend spokes, rims like I did. The 21" does help when rolling through rougher terrain. Hope you enjoy your purchase and thanks for the note!

    • @ElectricCycleRider
      @ElectricCycleRider  5 лет назад +12

      @Drew Robinson Great question as always. The rear shock (and fork, depending on which model you have) are definitely worthy upgrades. I opted for wheels because I was having problems with my stock ones. My rear wheel was coming out of true, bending/breaking spokes and ultimately bending the rim. That being said, a rear shock would be very close on the list after upgrading the wheels.

    Josh Norman is MIA. Any other options for the wheels? There has to be something else, pre-built by now, no? I've got a BAC8000 kit and my bike are showing up next week, so I've been looking everywhere for 21" wheels without any luck. You can't even find SR hubs or another set of stock wheels to take the hubs from. At this point, I'd even change out the entire front fork if it enabled me to use a MTX-grade wheel. I'll have plenty of power to deal with the added weight.

    • @ElectricCycleRider
      @ElectricCycleRider  4 года назад

      @Troy Muni I've talked to Josh Nowell and he said he's moving shops right now. I'm not aware of another option at the moment but you could get a 21" 1.6 moto rim and utilize your stock hub. You would just need to track down the correct spokes and get it mounted. If anyone knows of some other wheel builders, feel free to chime in!

      Moto rim laced to a hub that has a mtb interface. Sur-ron uses mtb forks, so unless you can get a different fork or adapter, you are going to be using mtb brakes.
      The good side is dh bike forks and brakes are actually really good.
      The bad is the fork is tuned for a 38# bicycle with a 160-180# rider. There are companies that tune mtb suspension (shims).

    I've got the 2021 Surron LB-x with the stock fork. KKE BF-355 RC. Just did the 21" front wheel upgrade. 21" Milk racing rim with Dunlop Geomax MX53 80/100. Its amazing how much my ride has improved. Only problem is that I'm an avid trail rider and quite often the fork bottoms out on the top of the tire even with the preload on Max. Did a little more research and found out that Woodys Wheel House has a note on their website stating that the 21" motorcycle wheel is not designed to work with the OEM RST Killah Forks. Could you suggest a fork that will work with the 21" upgrade?

  • @markkitaoka8783
    @markkitaoka8783 5 лет назад

    Informative video Tucker. I'm intrigued by the stem since it's not a direct mount. My personal issue with direct mount stems is the Dorados I run are MTB forks which mean MTB crowns. I'm using the Answer 810s which ARE Moto bars. So falling allows the bars to pivot on the stem rather than possibly damaging the top crown. The elastomers fascinate me for damping though. The Dorado high speed damping is great, but perhaps I'll try the stem as well. Thanks for your videos!

    • @ElectricCycleRider
      @ElectricCycleRider  5 лет назад

      @Mark Kitaoka Thanks for the note! As always, your insight is a huge help to all of us (myself included!). Great point in regards to the direct mount stem. I've had the stock stem pivot in a crash and although I know the XC Gear stem would do the same, I've luckily not crashed since installing it. It's a great piece of equipment and provides a bit of relief when you hit square edge or sharp impacts. As you know, suspension is the most important way to make the bike feel the best but the Hammerhead360 gives some added comfort when the going gets rough.
      I'm not quite sure how a direct mount would have handled my crashes but the extra weight of the Surron (in comparison to a mountain bike) could potentially do some damage... Would like to try one out.
      What is the diameter at the clamp for your Answer bars? Did you have to modify them to fit the stock stem?

    Hi Tucker. Thanks for the Information! I think I will go with the Hammerhead Stem and probably the ProTaper Bars. Do know much about the New ProTaper Contour Bars? The material used on the Contour Bars, supposedly gives the bar a little more flex for impact? But would like to hear what others think? I alwatys like the Higher Bars on any Bike. I purchased the Diety Mid High Bars with mine and their great bars but I wish I would've gone we ith the Diety High Rise instead. I'm 6'-0" tall and never sit down while riding.
    I've been looking at new wheels as well and have actually been thinking about starting my own aftermarket high end wheel supply company for Sur-Ron Bikes because I couldn't find what I was looking for. I even Bought a Wheel Truing Machine about a year ago. I Like the gearing on the 19" Rear and the 21" Front seems like the way for rolling over anything at high speed! Good Choice! I'm on my 2nd set of Stock Sur-Ron Wheels now.
    You were asking for other recommendations:
    1. I upgraded the Footpegs to a Larger Format Footpeg, built for a Yamaha Bike. It Helps with my Foot Pain after long rides and Better Control! I highly recommend this! They took a little modification to Fit... but Now, Sur-Ron Actually offers a new larger Footpeg, now. I did this on mine, 2 years ago!
    2a. One of the Best things I've done to mine was Upgrading my Suspension to Fox Factory Series 40 Forks in the Front...What an Amazing Difference! &...

      I ride Pro Taper Contour bars on a lot of my full size dirt bikes that use oversized 1-1/8" bars. You are right that the Pro Taper Countour has some more flex or give than other bar offerings. These Pro Tapers I recommend here are MTB bars that utilize the standard 31.8mm width that mountain bike stems use.

    A couple of questions ....
    1) You don’t seem to talk about the front fork upgrade ... surely the bike does NOT come with the Rockshox Boxxer, correct?
    2) The total price of the upgrades making the bike pretty pricey .... I mean, regardless what you throw at it, it will still not become KTM Freeride-E .. right? I think it’s a great bike at 4K USD ... but, if you start throwing cash in it, including controller and battery, you will be close to double the original price or even more?

    • @ElectricCycleRider
      @ElectricCycleRider  5 лет назад +2

      @mxs Thanks for the note, I'll answer your questions below
      1.) I have the Limited Black Edition Sur-Ron X which indeed came stock with the Rockshox Boxxer. I know it was a limited time offer and not sure if they'll do it again. If I were to pick an aftermarket fork to test on the bike, it would be a Fox40, Manitou Dorado or custom option.
      2.) You're absolutely right and this is a common debate with any bike that requires upgrades to be competitive. The Surron is an affordable option and the reason that it is affordable is because of some of the hard parts and accessories on the bike are budget focused. Replacing some of these parts will absolutely help the bike ride better and faster but no matter how much money you throw at the Surron X, it will not turn it in to a Freeride-E or Alta. It falls into a different category of bike and should be embraced for what it is!
      Hope this helps and please let me know if I can expand on any of this. Thanks!

      Electric Cycle Rider thanks for taking the time to clarify. I myself love the hybrid category .... somewhere between .... enduro and eMTB. It is great where speed and power comes second to lightness, nimbleness of a hybrid.
      I am also curious to see what happens once people start sending 72V and 200A to the stock motor. I don’t think it will last long in the hands of a guy with your skill set. The stock motor is not built for that sort of power to go through on prolonged basis.

      I agree, one of the reasons I have not got a fork yet is I do not know the particulars as far as size and fitment. If you could add that to a video it would really help. I can't afford a new $1500 fork so looking at used forks is a drag without know what to look for. Thanks

Are you running the 1.6 or the 1.85 rear rim and what size rear tire are you running? I'm looking for a wider rear setup but don't want to rub. Thanks for any info!

      @Werner Garage Thank you for the note! Awesome to hear you're considering one. I am running a 1.6 rear rim and a 70/100-19 on the rear. The bummer is that you typically need to run a front tire on the rear (unless you run a Shinko Trials Tire). Hopefully we'll get a big brand to start manufacturing a competitive rear tire for this size wheel. Always feel free to DM me on instagram @electriccyclerider if I can help you with anything directly.

      @TNL Capo Lean It really depends on the type of terrain you're riding and what type of rider you are. You will be fine at 5'9" on this bike, especially if you run the taller bars and 21" up front. If you're already a dirt bike rider and you have the means, I would recommend checking out the 2020 KTM Freeride E-XC or waiting for the Sur-Ron Storm to release which are both close-to* full size dirt bikes with more power, better suspension and better brakes. If you're just getting in to throttle assist bikes, I would recommend the Sur-Ron for sure.

      @Chrissy-H 5 лет назад

      I’d recommend going for a Fox 40 over the other options for this bike. Reasons being, the Dorado will be too flexy (it’s already a bit too flexible for downhill mountain biking, really), and Rockshox boxxers have quite short fork legs. Adding a 40 to this bike would help prop the front end up a little higher, helping with the cramped feel, and they’re very stiff laterally for a mountain bike fork.

Wheels, tires, bars, stem, brakes, fork, shock, skid plate, 54t sprocket. It’s an $8000+ bike when finished, with about $1000 in throw away stock parts sitting in the garage unused because nobody would buy them. No thanks. Maybe when Surron/Luna are able to spec their bikes better from the factory and charge a little more I will be a customer. Just the fact that they downgraded suspension tells me they’re going in the wrong direction though. Oh well, I’m patient.
