I couldn’t help but picture everything in your house having a spoiler mounted to it. Toaster, Refrigerator, Microwave, Dog….lol. What is the cool light ring on your back? I saw the same thing in your zealot X review video and I would also not like to get hit by a car at night:) I got my zealot X last week and it’s just as impressive in person. The remote alone sets the gold standard for Eskating in my opinion.
awesome to see the led in a flexible deck! would be cool to see if Backfire offers decks for the S2/X and G5S but flexible like this X5 one and each with their respective led color!
Great video. I've been waiting for this, and I think you are the first to review it. I love the silence of hub motors too. Thanks for posting it. Nice shots of Utah also! Fingers crossed for the raffle.
The slow initial acceleration is probably a good thing. Better if it’s an option for the rider. The disc hub motors is interesting too. Love the red highlight and LED!
The price seems a little steep considering you can buy a verreal RS pro for $400 less, and that board has similar batter/motor specs to the X5. That said, they are two very different boards, so I guess it would really come down to your riding style. The Ranger definitely wins in terms of looks though, and I do prefer flex decks.
I like the splash guard you got, could you provide the link to where you got those from? Also HOW ARE YOU OUTSIDE IN SHORTS?!?!?! I see nothing but snow all around you!
The idea of the flex deck and hub motors in offroad setting is very interesting. The only issue i have is the DKP trucks for offroading isnt ideal. I really love DKP on the street but this board is intended for offroad and thats where it shines.
Nice review and the camera work was great. I think this board fits an interesting niche, I just think its overpriced. Someone explain to me why the $800 Meepo Auora is more powerful, belt driven, with brighter LED's and this thing is $1200? I'm not saying they are directly comparable, but I think Backfire is being greedy with their margin on this board. Or, you could get a Propel Endeavor2 S with full suspension, a bigger battery, more powerful motors, high end pneumatic wheels and tires, for $100 less than this board. Why is this board worth $1200 in today's market?
Great review! But I will probably give a try to the G5s since I don't have the $ for this one. Could you tell us what is your back pack with the led ring please?
Great review as always. Board looks great but backfire keep shipping weak ass batteries, beef em up or give us a charger that can 0-100 in an hour or less. Also… how are you not freezing ya nuts off riding in that snow 😂
That’s probably the coolest looking board from backfire. And no flats!
Super psyched! Just ordered mine after rocking meepo v5 er the past year.
iv always said hub AT boards are underrated. 👍🏼
*Yewwh!*
⚡️🤟🏽🤟🏽⚡️
Nice to see a more flexy deck from BF.

That backfire looks awesome. That was the perfect place for the tail lights.
You an awesome reviewer my guy
Hub motors with rubber wheels are an underutilized combo 🙌
Im new to the electric skateboard world great video

Broooooo that's a cool looking board

Lovely looking board with decent speed, look forward to your next reviews on this board

That backfire looks amazing in the, doesn’t matter what time of day it looks awesome

YESSSS light up FLEX DECK 🎉
Well done Backfire!🙌🙏
I like the splash guard you got, could you provide the link to where you got those from? Also HOW ARE YOU OUTSIDE IN SHORTS?!?!?! I see nothing but snow all around you!
It looks a lot better than the X3 in my opinion and I actually dig the wing a little bit
It is an X3 updated with a new LED deck, programmable remote and ESC.
flexy and lights is a good step in the right direction
Awesome review!!!
Having the red accent show even during the day is such a nice touch, more companies should prioritze this imo
Love the ambients lights this board is 🔥
The spoiler looks like a safety concern.
Killer video 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Now that would have easily been my 2nd board after the Meepo V3! That's such a good looking and very practical board
This looks so futuristic❤❤❤ i love ittt!
I'm not a huge fan of hub motors, but I like being stealthy on my towns bike paths. Great review thanks .
Great review, should also review or list in a video your top riding gear (backpack, lights, cameras, etc)
I was waiting to see the red circle ⭕ on your best lol.
Ranger has always intrigued me with the hub design.
I think this electric sketboard Is amazing 💯😯
Thanks. I have the X2 and love it. Might be time for an upgrade...
I’ve loved my backfire, love the content!
Awesome reviews!! I look forward to them.
amazing review, looking forward for more videos.
The idea of the flex deck and hub motors in offroad setting is very interesting. The only issue i have is the DKP trucks for offroading isnt ideal. I really love DKP on the street but this board is intended for offroad and thats where it shines.
It takes about 8 minutes to turn it into a TKP by removing the centre pin section.
That's an interesting board love the lighting
Haha wtf! That spoiler!
I love the lights!
Im sooo sad I just missed iti even just bought the x5 amazing boared yes and cant wait for more updates trying to figure out the finger print scanner
As alway super video
Subbed and never won anything, ever, good luck to all. Great video, info and quadcopter views.
Great looking board
Love backfire, but hubs and lack of ability to swap to any wheels is a hard pass. I wish we got the flex deck on the zealots tho. I miss the bounce
love the led's but wish there were other options than just hub motor.
board is so sick

Looks pretty nice😊
Great review! But I will probably give a try to the G5s since I don't have the $ for this one. Could you tell us what is your back pack with the led ring please?
What's that glowing thing on your back？It looks like something out of the movie Tron
Spoiler adds looks, a handle as you said and cost. No down force as spoilers are intended for
Lookin' awesome! :)
Great review!
What is that red light on your back?
Great videos! Great board they should've put more battery on the board but just saying great board though! 🤙🤙 Keep the videos coming!
Sooo sick 🔥
But for real though, what’s the link for the ring light on your back?
Here's a video I have on how to make these ring lights! th-cam.com/video/5xwKkPQZRco/w-d-xo.html
You make that board belt drive with a bit more battery and bit less expensive and it would be Perfect 👌
Luv your back light on your back. Can you link it?
th-cam.com/video/5xwKkPQZRco/w-d-xo.htmlsi=0hTmZlX4JruNJkcf
what is the red led ring on the back of your backpack please? link? thanks
th-cam.com/video/5xwKkPQZRco/w-d-xo.htmlsi=0hTmZlX4JruNJkcf
Tron backpack info please
What backpack has that red ring LED?
Great review as always. Board looks great but backfire keep shipping weak ass batteries, beef em up or give us a charger that can 0-100 in an hour or less. Also… how are you not freezing ya nuts off riding in that snow 😂
I think Backfire skipped over Ranger X4 because there will be a four hub wheel drive comming. The last Ranger was X3. Why else skip X4.
4 is an unlucky # in china so they are skipping over it
Thank you
Maxfind FF AT is faster at 28mph,
Plus, has swappable 8.7ah battery packs.
Maxfind doesn’t have red LEDs. This is the whole point of the X5.
people have to ask if its electric. nah bruv. these lights run on aura
They call it a spoiler because it spoils the look of the vehicle.
but the hub motors make it a no deal. no replacing wheels. that price exceeds the Wowgo AT2. its the worst choice with lesser specs
You can replace the wheels.
@@martial_matterswith same type of wheels or?
@@UnchartedWorlds on Backfire's website they sell some "Cloud Wheel Rovers 165R For Backfire Hammer Sledge" which also works on this board I assume.
i don't like the white lights,
If you do or plan to do group rides, skip this board. 518wh in a 2024 board is weak.
spoiler😅
Not enough
Spoiler Alert :)
Great vid. Zealot S2 rider🛹
