This is my fifth wheel and it's the top of the food chain on all levels I ride knarely off-road trails & this wheel is definitely it! Stock pads are the best stock pads I've seen to date but I still have grizzla fairing system and pads on the way.🎉

[@rollindirty2666]

I completely agree. Something I should have mentioned is braking is the best I've ever experienced on the Extreme.... incredible. Thank you for watching!

[@MGRodriguez1]

I agree with you regarding the stock pads...I couldn't ride very long without feeling pain in my shins...Wearing the Leatt dual axis knee guards really help.

[@rollindirty2666]

Yeah... they seem to be more about protecting the wheel than helping the rider. I'd prefer they made a decent fairing that is ships with than putting capital into side pads that everyone will replace....

[@MGRodriguez1]

​@@rollindirty2666- I'm out riding technical single track...If the pads were closer together, securing my legs better, I would have more maneuverability....Other than that, I am pretty happy!

[@mikethewheelchairguy]

Thanks for sharing your impressions! Very helpful to those considering purchasing it. Looking forward to your thoughts once you've got different pads on it. May I ask, what is the width at the top where it would be resting into the sides of your legs?

[@JonahHax]

it's a 16" just like the V12 and the 16X and T4 and all other 16" wheels.

[@choosetherightify]

Except that this is really an 18" tire. The V12 is a 16" tire.

[@samanderson806]

Yeah, it's not a 16 inch at all. It's just "in that category." I have it.

[@patrickmckowen2999]

Great thoughts 👍

[@patrickmckowen2999]

Good info 👍

[@PurpleRider]

Yooo, how are you feeling about the extreme after a few months now?

[@jamesholmes8539]

I went on a ride yesterday on my extreme and I got a rock stuck between the side of the rim and the frame in by the bearing area had to stop & turn the wheel upside down & Nickel sized rock fell out 😮

[@rollindirty2666]

Yeah... this is an issue. I've noticed it too... not enough clearance for rocks that the tire will pick up.

[@samanderson806]

Dude there is no reason to run your tire at 45. That's nuts, and it would fix your rubbing issue to take it down.

[@rollindirty2666]

While this may be true... I run all my wheels at 45psi. If the tire the wheel ships with states it can run 45psi, I think it needs to be tested, for all the reasons you mentioned. In other words, unless Begode wants to finally provide a user manual instructing the users to run... say 30psi, for clearance purposes, then I think we need to test the limits. The rubbing issue was present at a lower psi too, just not as prominently. It's clear there was some underplanning when it came to the tire and the clearance of the fender. Thank you for watching!

[@aking37]

I'd run a 3" tire closer to 30psi, more of an actual contact patch on the road/dirt and less twitchyness.

[@Reikon_a]

Thanks for the review, but what about range?

[@rollindirty2666]

I rode about 8 miles at 25-30mph and the wheel went from 80% to 70%. I haven't really pushed it to empty yet because I'm not super happy with the stock side pads.
