CLOUDWHEEL Rovers are here, are they any good ? 200km Review

[@DrewElia]

Solid Review, loved that there wasn't any separation with that much range on them, id love to see a battery range test against other cloud wheels on a board as well. just to see how much that 165 drains the battery

[@alastairminty]

That shot of you reversing the TRX through the water 🤣 , with 120mm wheels or less I think the board would have taken more of a dip! That extra height came in useful. Great that you took the time to put all those miles on them before posting, good stuff. 👍

[@scottdaviesyoutube]

Thanks mate, I remember getting a bit of flack, when the first CW came out and I reviewed them after only a few KM, then soon everyone was getting cracked cores, didn’t want a repeat of that 😂

[@esk8jaimes]

The main advantage of these vs. standard AT wheels is the lack of punctures!

[@scottdaviesyoutube]

100%. When I was showing the wear (when that kid fell off his scooter) it was validating to see that nail and obviously not need to work about a flat

[@jonbleiker]

Had so many AT punctures.. takes hours. most annoying is the poor design of the wheel valve hole (evolve etc) where it’s a sharp corner instead of a smooth radius. Acceleration twists the tyre on the rim and then the rubber comes away from the valve.

[@nevariden]

I get punctured every 3 or 4 ride. I’m sick and tired of flats, of having to end my ride 10 mins after it starts, of puncture Anxiety, of breaking a motor cause I kept riding on. The flat etc etc

[@VirIIx]

Super awesome Scott! Been waiting for this video! Happy to see Cloudwheel have the kits ready to go, can't wait to pre-order for the Zeus!

Yea totally agree. And totally changers the look in a good way.

Yea I think they look great on the TRX, at first I wasn’t a fan of the grey core, but once fitted I loved it

[@WorldwideDarts]

I'll be riding these soon. I just dropped the hammer on the Titan X with these wheels. Can't wait!

[@mitsuracer87]

They have options on the iwonder site for every commercial board, but what if we have a DIY board? I use BN270 trucks, pulleys and motor mounts

Great content, as always. I didn’t even know about these until your first mention of them. I had ordered some 155 honeycomb from ownboard, but they haven’t even acknowledged the order yet so I might just cancel and get these. Not available until 3/10. I just checked the cloudwheel website.

Great Video Scott, wondering why the trx? Zeus , hurricane just curious? Thank you for your commitment to Quality Videos!

[@scottdaviesyoutube]

1) I really like the TRX 2) it was sitting there with no wheels 😂 3) I think the 165s would possibly get wheel bite on the Zeus

[@Jamon_Eames]

@@scottdaviesyoutube any chance you’ll be trying these on the Zeus to be sure?

[@scottdaviesyoutube]

I don’t have the pullys to fit. I can ask Cloudwheel if they fit, but half the time they don’t understand wheel bite

[@completeflake1]

I've put 165mm Trampa pneumatics on my Zeus without any issues. Much better tyre than the crap stock ones

[@phizicks]

they look pretty slick. being 165mm, how does the range compare to similar sized wheels? I like how they are much flatter compared to the RF125s which are way too curved which leads to less grip. I don't like the fact that wheels like this and many others have no way to replace the rubber. they have the ability to sell sleeves with an adhesive that you can slip on and the glue seals them in. wished someone would do something like that.

[@sethmcneill5283]

I think more companies should adapt these as the “street setup” and have tube tires for the “AT setup”. There’s just very few reasons to pick eurothane over airless tires. I have the vestar 6” airless and I prefer them over evolve wheels. Not because they’re comfier but because I get twice the range, same clearance, and never have to swap a flat tire.

[@davidheath2427]

So glad you took your time with this one . ❤️ . Have been waiting for this review . Have been watching you for well over a year now and still not bored of looking at you calves. Do you know if these would fit on the beast set-up if I changed the drive cogs to the evolve set up that I Wonder sell . And yes I have a different deck to use

[@scottdaviesyoutube]

Haha I always laugh as I feel my profile pic should just be my legs and shoes 😂

[@scottdaviesyoutube]

Not sure about the beast board I’ll take a look

And have you considered reviewing the B-one four-wheel-drive unit? Keep up the good work! thanks again

[@friendlytravelagent7784]

For an all-terrain 2-in-1 board such as a B-One Balrog or a Lycaon TRX, would you prefer the Exway Atlas Trist Truck or B-One's CKPs?

[@scottdaviesyoutube]

hi mate great question, 6 months ago, id answer Lycaon / Exway DKP, these days man I love the TKP from Ownboard and B-One, they are fun to carve and really stable

[@execflood]

Great review! Where did you get that foam griptape from?

[@scottdaviesyoutube]

I use the Rode Wireless Go with a Lapel mic and a small wind muff, just after the off-road scene you can actually see it hanging outside my t-shirt neck line

[@schutz_robotics]

These wheels seem really cool. Would you prefer getting pneumatic or these rover wheels as the first wheels for all terrain riding?

[@scottdaviesyoutube]

for proper of road id still stick with a pneumatic, for light AT these are perfect,

[@storm4710]

How is the comfort compared to 105mm Cloud's? My used Bibuff board came with 94mm solids, 105mm clouds and 150mm pneumatics(Heavy rider at 260lb) But the 150mm pneumatics have very high vibration(love the clearance that the 150mm gives me when going places with my board) So planning to buy a Atsa Everyday backpack and maybe buy some new wheels, I just passed my first 35KM's after not being on a board for twenty years,

[@kingkazuma2568]

Do these get more range vs numatic wheels ?

[@DrakkusN]

Awesome video as always. Outta curiosity which TRX are you using? I have the 2.0. Will these fit?

[@scottdaviesyoutube]

This is the 3.0 I believe the 2.0 has the same rear truck so will fit just the same !!

[@DrakkusN]

Appreciated thanks a lot mate! Cause of your review I bought the trx last year. Cheers mate

[@acarrillo0024]

Thanks for the review! How's the range compared to a 105 cloud wheel? On the fence about getting these for my Verreal RS

[@eaojnr]

another good review @Scott... thanks.

[@acekeianar]

Scott I know you're a big guy but... You cut a 90° turn. Are those really loose do you have the weight to jam that turn? (Please, honest question; do not take it any other way.). Your turn radius is fantastic. Is it the wheels or your set up.

[@Temmple]

Excited to see how the Meepo wheels compare to these.

[@georgemuron482]

I use 190mm pneumatics with 66t pulley on my hurricane. I thought about getting the cloudwheels But I really like the 190mm tires. Anywhere sell 200mm?

[@scottdaviesyoutube]

not that im aware off, 200mm is quite large

[@Bearforceone]

exact same boat and I think ill be sticking with my 190mm pneumatics.

[@treysvideoart]

Scott, I'm interested in these Cloud wheels. Tell me are they a soft ride like air tires or are they very hard and you can feel every bump?

[@scottdaviesyoutube]

Very soft in my opinion Feels like a tyre at 28psi Only downside is they hurt your range

[@treysvideoart]

Thanks. Ordered!

[@DawnPatrolPMC]

Need advice! I am torn between the Meepo Hurricane vs endeavor pro or a 3rd option. I have absolutely terrible roads and want the smoothest longest ride i can get and still be able to go in a store with the board. 100kg rider. any suggestions?

[@Bearforceone]

Meepo hurricane would suit you well, endevour pro is another different class of board. If you live in the middle of nowhere I'd suggest the endevour over the hurricane though.

[@scottdaviesyoutube]

Smart words, agree

[@kbrown229]

I have a Eovan Super with the 155 AT tires on the way. How would the rovers compare to the 155 in range comparison?

[@scottdaviesyoutube]

Depending how on how hard you run your tyres if average the Rovers would give a little better range

[@kbrown229]

@@scottdaviesyoutube would the better range come with much difference in loss of ride comfort?

[@scottdaviesyoutube]

I was thinking about this yesterday, my guess after jumping between the two tyres I think you loose about 20%rode comfort over a 6 inch pneumatic tyre

so they are basically the origianl cloud wheels just bigger with rubber stick on outside

[@drewlance5406]

Do you think there is any benifit to these over the 120mm clouds? I currenlty have the 120's on my zeus pro and when I ride to work I get there with ~30% battery left. Do you think I would still be able to get to work above 20% if I swapped to the 165 rovers?

[@TheAETHER22]

I have some 110 rubbers which hog range and it looks like it's time to buy some new shoes for my board. I think i'll wait until someone imports them to Europe for a reasonable price though just to avoid that customs tax

no commentary on how they perform in the wet, Clouds have a fair rep for being a little less than desirable for wet weather, It'd be nice to see a comparison between them in wet conditions

[@scottdaviesyoutube]

Spot on.

[@ShadrikEaston]

I found that they were _less_ grippy than the normal 150mm airless that come with so many boards. also, they bounce up a lot more than other wheels which means less grip on bumpy services. I WISH they were more sticky than the ones Im still running.. but no. I had to give them up unfortunately. I am honestly disappointed because I really wanted them to work for me. maybe on less bumpy surfaces they would be good.

[@kemckelv]

Think I'll buy. I don't want pneumatics.

"Do I think these are better than a pneumatic? That's the big question (Yes! It is!). Honestly i don't think so (Ah.). If you have a pneumatics already and you love them, I don't think you'll need to upgrade to the 165 Rovers. That's just my personal opinion (Errr...)." Well look, thanks for sharing your opinion.
