Good job on the video and keep them coming. This gives others looking to upgrade another perspective in wheel/tire setup. I think a lot is personal preference and how you ride it. That said I ride 18/21. However, if you do not upgrade your controller / battery the 18/21 will feel and be slower without offsetting the additional size with a larger sprocket. Personally, I like the bigger feeling of the bike and the additional benefits that come with it. I think it comes down to a couple things. If you like a bigger bike feel and have upgraded power or will soon there in the future 18/21. If you plan to stay stock power or close to it and enjoy the nimbleness and playfulness go with 16/19. Both setups will give you better traction/performance than the stock setup. Obviously, there is more to it than what I listed.
I have a 17/19 and a 19/21. I'm used to riding full size bikes and about 80% of the time I'll go with 17/19 just cause it's so much more fun to ride. Only time I'd prefer the 21 would be in Rocky Enduro type trails.
@@PhiTonics The main problem with a 16" rear is you can't run the 21" front without ruining the bike geometry. The 21" front is what makes it handle so much better.
@@emotobros interesting 🤔 I would love to hear a round table with you guys and Charged Cycle Works debating the various tire set up merrits. I believe one of them runs a 21 front and the other doesn't if I recall right, at the end of the day it probably comes down to the trails you ride I imagine.
@@PhiTonics I believe the tire options are better for a 16", no debate there. I just don't like how it makes the bike smaller/keeps it stock when the bike is already too small for us. The 21" front and 18" rear makes it bigger, more stable, has better tire options than stock and just generally rides more like a real moto.
I’m in Michigan now..I miss Oregon Born and raised in Aloha Forest Park,Browns camp, bend Oregon epic riding Little North the Hood River Has epic riding back in there too
Do you find with that bigger wheel being in the front that it doesn't slide out on you as much? I have that issue all the time and sand front tire always wants to grab
Do you guys have a belt drive on your bikes? They're so quiet...mine is super loud and it's been like that since day one. It's quieter if I hit the throttle on a stand and it's just the rear wheel spinning, but man as soon as my weight is on it it's loud as hell.
Hey goys, I live in Oregon and am getting an e ride pro. I’m 6’1 and can’t decide between a 19/16 vs 21/18. Have you all experienced any difference in range?
Salem, OR here. Received my 2022 sur ron a couple of weeks ago but only had one ride on it due to all of the rain. Took it to Mary's Peak but really need to find some good mx trails. What gps device do you use on your handlebars?

21/18 because jumping over logs is just part of the ride in the NW.
Thank you for the vid, fun living viscerally through you wail I wait for my SurRon next week 👍
16" rear is what to get based on my buddies experience.
I second that.

If you use a prickly riser shock link. That evens out the geometry. But I ain't no scientist.

What kind of trail tech is that I had one on my old 250 getting a talaria and that would be awesome to have
Lots of great info! THANKS for that!!

dang didn't realize ya guys were in Oregon. curious what course is this?
You guys are my heroes!!!
How’s the 21/18 go for jumps, I mainly do off-road jumps and can’t decide between this and the 19/16

What monitor is that?
since I switched out Fox 40's on the front I'm repping the 27.5/19 in the rear.....would never go back🙌
Hey, could you do a review of the Fastace KKE fork on the new Surrons vs the DNM Volcano?
Salem, OR here. Received my 2022 sur ron a couple of weeks ago but only had one ride on it due to all of the rain. Took it to Mary's Peak but really need to find some good mx trails.
What gps device do you use on your handlebars?
Nice! We rode Mary's last fall and it was fun ripping around the fire roads.
We use the TrailTech Voyager Pro (amzn.to/3EWIg1v).
are you running primary chain? if so, which one? DB?
Belts only around here. The chains have always been a bit loud for our taste.
@@emotobros running the gates GT4?
@@harry6320 We actually are running custom belts we found on McMaster, but yes, I believe it's a 'gates style' belt. We'd recommend the GT4 for sure.
Siick buddy :)
Wow bike looks dope, nj
You gotta make a better intro clip. It’s too dim and you can barely see the logo/the jump you’re hitting in the letters.
16inch has more tire choice compared to 18
When all the “choices” are inferior to the larger size does it really matter how many you have?
I have a DH ebike that’s even better
