Contour CR High Bend. Wanted the woods hi bends, but I couldn’t find them anywhere.

Haha yeah, Sur Ron plastics are break before bend.

Thanks! Helemano, Oahu

The scenery is gorgeous and you're right about Florida vibes.

Funny you mentioned it. I actually tried OnX Off-road and Gaia GPS since this ride. Ended up going with Gaia after reading the differences but kind of wish I’d paid for OnX. OnX had a clearer satellite view when zoomed in, and I have had some issues with the Gaia app crashing when doing routes. Most of the trails I ride aren’t exactly “sanctioned”, just random dirt bike trails created over 60+ years here on a mix of private and state-owned lands. I actually went a bit deeper than on this video and tracked it with Gaia last weekend, took that ridge trail pretty far before it dead-ended. Feels better having it so that I’m not guessing what other trails I’m near and I already created routes for trails I’m familiar with so I know my exits.

😂

I think a lot of their stuff is overpriced, but figured I’d give them a shot with this specific pair on discount a few years back. They are very comfy, stretchy, and lightweight. Not super durable though, some of the logos and such are peeling off. Due for another pair soon. I know the walk of shame will happen to me one day… only a matter of time I misjudge. Problem with riding here is all the valleys… I could only imagine my bike dying deep in a valley. I’d rather walk out, get my girlfriend’s ultra battery and swap out with a large camping backpack or something.

Haha yeah, I thought “oh, I have 47% left and know generally where I am, let’s see where this goes!”

Yep! I did make a mistake, I think this ride was closer to 30 miles. My Sur Ron app missed a huge part of the ride. I have a new tracking app that I’m using now “Gaia GPS”, where I’ll be saving my routes to take away some of this battery anxiety. 😬

I think I get about 47-48 mph on the 58T

Did you compare to vin on the bike? I’ve seen dealers for Sur Ron mix up the owners manuals from bike to bike.

Yeah it’s the same.. I thought the same or the dealer registered the bike on the app and now it’s locked or something

@@PeterCarter-g4y I feel like I’m super lucky I got mine to work. One issue I had with mine was the password, the login password has to be very long and avoid certain character. it doesn’t tell you it’s too short or has wrong characters when resetting but will not work when you try to login. Resetting password with the code was tricky too, as it expires pretty fast.

I’ll give it a go.. thanks mate

Haha yeah, I think it came undone in some powder before-hand. Didn’t even notice it until I went to unstrap at the bottom. The Highpath felt like one of my favorites because it was just the board I was using when things started to click more (luck/ timing). The mind expander was my favorite overall though, it was tons of fun.

I’ll check him out. I already watch a ton of videos and did before my trip which I think helped me understand basics. Goals for next trip are to practice switch (very unnatural for me), buttering, and playful freestyle stuff on a super forgiving board as well as legitimate carving to avoid mostly skidded turns. Lots of great content out there for learning.

Yeah, I don’t think it was too epic but we had pretty consistent snow there. Because I was just learning we didn’t do a ton of off-piste stuff. Nozawaonsen barely had snow when we showed up, but we got lucky for day 2 with enough snow for them to open a handful of more runs.

I’ve kept the settings the same since this video. I ride mostly technical stuff that keeps my speeds down and I’ve liked how it feels. It does get a bit harsh when I push the speeds and I hit some sharper edges, but it’s a give and take.

It took quite a few times to pair the bike via Bluetooth on the app… just keep trying. Need to vin and a few other serial numbers that should be in your owners manual to sync it. It’s definitely kind of a pain, and took many tries before it finally worked. Had same experience with my girlfriends bike.

We love ours, they are the perfect bike for technical trails. Technology will get better to get more power and range with less weight, but for now, I think they are tough to beat, especially at the price point.

Mostly ride Mililani, sometimes Kahuku or cruise around North Shore.

I weight about 175 lbs without gear.

Faster riding I’ll maybe get 25 miles, slower more technical stuff I’m seeing about 30. Plenty of range for a good loop and a few hours of fun.

Congrats! You won’t be disappointed. We love our Ultra Bee!

Thanks! Her little brother is going to be a 🔨

KKE, I believe I got them from Charged Cycle Works

Loving the Ultra Bee! Replaced my 2 strokes for sure!

Oh, it shows online on the main screen there, but when you click on current location it’s offline and does not show address. Not worried about that though, bike tracks position well on rides. It probably only feeds location when the bike is off every so often to conserve battery I assume.
