I Tried 7 "NEW" Brakes On My SURRON

[@reedsrc1447]

I’m running the volar sports and by far are just amazing

[@Talariaboys]

Sweeeeeet

[@landonlewis5918]

I use the bronze mavens! The difference is the adjustment. The power is the same across the levels, but some titanium in the ultimate. Huge recommend 🙂

[@Talariaboys]

Awesome! Good to know!

[@HummerH-mo4cs]

With the mavens do you lose ability to have the break light on. And when brake lever is applied do you still retain the motor cut off ?

[@Talariaboys]

Yes you lose both of those

[@TechLineHD]

Amazing video, thanks guys! I'm still running stock brakes on my Sting R and I really need an upgrade. I will choose between Sram Maven and the Trp DHR Evo. However, in Europe where I live, Hope Tech has great reputation so it's not easy to choose

[@Talariaboys]

You'd be happy with any of those options man, just pick one!

[@simianstyle3746]

One thing you guys forgot to mention was that you'll lose your brake light functionality and the motor cut out. I know a lot of people hate the latter. But there's a number of us who have street versions and would like to keep the stock brake light functionality.

[@benni16it]

you can use all of these breaks, just add a sensor. Will work for the break light for sure, motor cut not sure.

[@BoozySZN]

That's what brake light sensors are for...

[@armyca]

Volar sport brakes has an option for brake sensors. I use them.

[@x0jamiex0]

You can add the sensor back easily by just zip tying it onto handle and a magnet where the brake lever depresses and you now have working brake light and motor cut out again and takes less than 2 min I’ve done it to my trps and regen throttle

Another awesome video. Thank you for the infjim. Then the next video I would like you guys to do is a headlight test cause I'm thinking of buying a new headlight. I want the best one I do a lot of single track trails in thick trees at night. I need to see. Thanks guys rob from vancouver canada❤

[@5etz3r]

It was the first upgrade on my MX4, I went with the warp 9 high output headlight. I had to order it from the USA (I'm in ontario canaduh), but I absolutely love it. The stock dual lens is perfect, one is long distance away, and one is short and wide. Combined its just a really great and full illumination. The "off" setting is this blue pilot glow, this is subtlety visible but doesn't "shine" at all. Its very slick. And best of all is just the shape and aesthetic of it. Its very similar in size to the stock light. I prefer its size and shape over the gritshift blinder or whatever. I never see anyone with this headlight (maybe its new?) but the boys got it on their bikes in this video. I just bought it on a whim hoping I would like it, and I honestly love it. My first warp 9 purchase and its a definite winner.

Do you guys tend to upgrade the rotors or leave them stock. Is there much improvement that comes with upgrading rotors for the mtb style brakes?

[@Talariaboys]

We do upgrade them for ultimate performance, there is a noticeable difference but not as big as getting upgraded brakes.

[@El_Guap]

Please, please please keep a recommending full face helmet to kids. You guys provide some of the best information on the Internet regarding bikes like this. And I love it. But all the kids out there look up to you guys so much . I guess it’s not your responsibility to push these things. But the kids look up to you. Start pushing more full face helmets for every child on a dirtbike or even a regular electric bike Make sure they know that gloves with sliders are important Keep up the good work I love the content

[@RDT_IR]

I crashed head first into a wash wall at 15MPH on my MX3 after the stock brakes had faded and if I hadn't been wearing a Klim F3 full-face, I'd still be in the hospital with a wired jaw and broken neck.

I got the volar sport brakes a few days after they were released and they are just an amazing brake set and well worth 1000$

[@Talariaboys]

Glad you are loving them! Thanks for watching

[@the_mtb_shredder]

I feel like nobody talks about the new formula cura emoto specific brakes. A little over 500 dollars for the full set plus some rippin moto 250mm rotors might be the best all around brake setup.

[@Talariaboys]

Hopefully we can try them someday

[@Bengy22]

Thank you for the great video, glad to here opinions on all these brakes. And one thing was consistent, Sram Mavens!

[@Talariaboys]

Yessir

[@landonlewis5918]

Glad sram maven made the list😄😄. Been running them, they are so great!

[@_kwak]

Please review a Gucci Surron vs stock Landmoto Ohio made E-Moto. You can register with the DOT. Rip it off road too, I would love to see it. Kitted out online it was 9k and that seems fair given all these Gucci Surrons are typically ~10k. Relevancy: it comes with Moto style breaks instead of dinky bike breaks and you wont need to upgrade it. Edit: I understand that these cycle style ebikes are lighter and can have some advantages in that regard. The Landmoto weighs over 200lbs so I do understand it won't be as "nimble" but I would still be extremely curious.

[@realkidcarter]

always knew those lewis brakes were gonna be no good, 6piston or the 8piston too, they literally use hope tech mtb pads still.

[@MarkFries-o7n]

Love the Maven brakes

[@JoBrownFlow]

The Volar Sport kit brings 3mm thick floating rotors, thats why its more expensive... The other kits are just rotors (is that correct?)... Besides the price its more than just "moto stye brakes". They are the only purpose build brakes for these bikes (130lb vs 30lb MTB). They are the only brake that does not overheat when ridden hard... If you have an upgraded bike and ride/brake hard all the other brakes will fail/fade.

[@jedidiahdukes5104]

Awesome video guys! But I was just wandering if you could do a in depth headlight install on the Talaria XXX. I really want the s2 Pro but I’m 15 and not certified for any installment for a headlight I would have to cut wire and connect. Please consider this and keep up the content.

[@1.crowder]

I’m 14 and have never dealt with anything electrical other than a few small solders. all you have to do is connect the wires and twist them not even solder/crimp. there is many diagrams on fb and the s2 comes with a diagram you’ll be able to figure it out.

[@scottryana]

I think the Hope Tech4 V4’s are a little under represented in this review just simply because they don’t have much time on the brakes but a few key points. They can use a 220mmx3.3mm vented rotor, they can be had with braided lines, they can run upgraded DOT 5.1 fluid, and they have multiple brake pad variations. I think they are the best of the best when talking about mtb brakes.

[@Talariaboys]

Good to know👍 we need to spend more time on them

[@Austinpattyy]

So glad i got my Lewis tech early only spend 400 for the set and they work awsome wonder why yours suck that’s too bad haven’t had any heat issues and was able to get hope e4 pads work great on them

[@Talariaboys]

Nice man, glad they are working for you

[@joem8601]

Is it because the EP8 and EP6 come with resin pads? If you own the smaller Lewis EP4/LH4 caliper, it probably came with good sintered/metallic pads, slightly better than the ones that come with stock Surron brakes (Shiamno H03C is a good example to good pads that people upgraded to) most Surron owners eventually realize this and they tend to use only the best pads with their Maguras/Hope/Trps/stock brakes/whatever they're using. This could explain the difference and the problem he described in the video. Example: The difference between Magura 8.S (sport) pads and Magura 8.P (performance) pads is YOU hitting a car or not. The sport pads can lock the rotor and the performance pads just slide around the rotor no matter how hard you press when the force of the bike going forward exceeds the grip of the pads (when you brake hard) So, the most important thing for Surrons is to use the right brake pad that can bite/grip the rotor the most, the more you press your brakes.

[@peedee4065]

The issue with Hayes Dominions is not that they are made for 1.8mm rotors. Hayes D Series rotors (their latest made for use with the Dominion) are 1.95mm. I even have Dominions working o.k. on my XXX with 2.3mm rotors. The problem is that the Dominions have a very high hydraulic ratio (size difference between the master cylinder piston and the caliper pistons, the bigger the difference the greater the ratio). This means that it takes a lot of pull to move the pistons, and hence pad clearance is minimal. Therefore, the same minimal pad clearance issue exists even with mtb rotors that are thinner. Which I experienced on my mtb running 2mm rotors when I had the Dominions on there before I transferred them to the XXX. Again, the issue is not the rotor thickness. Yes, the Dominions are not going to work with rotors thicker than 2.3mm, so there's that. Besides the minimal pad clearance another issue with the Dominions is that they come with a tiny 1-finger lever. They're strong but could be a lot stronger with a better lever that gives a greater mechanical ratio. As it is, they work great for mountain bikes, but they are dainty for emotos.

[@phat56pat]

One thing I feel it wasn’t touched on is with the volar sport you get thick rotors not you have to have or use the rotors because that’s an advantage not running thin rotors. They are going to be coming out with a rotor for the rear that’s 228mm and Works with the older warp nine wheels, warp nine now has dual drilled hubs So you can run the rear surron rotors. Also, if you add rotors and brackets to every single one of those other brakes set ups, and then compare the braking to the volar sport nothing can compare. And you’re not much off on price. Pub the pivot point on the lever will stop the squeak

[@charliehowe7127]

Bro, is it laundry day? Great review. I just ordered the Mavens.

[@Talariaboys]

Sweeeet

[@BrassStacks]

With the Lewis LH4s, could the brake line be expanding? Do you have a braided cable you can switch out to test? I can't think of what else would allow that to happen. There's no leaking oil, no air in the line, that fluid is going somewhere. Maybe the lines are just junk??

[@Austinpattyy]

I dont even have braided cables and i havent had any issues with mine, wheelies and downhill trails

[@BrassStacks]

@@Austinpattyy Hmmm... I wonder what is going on with their set. It's good to know that you have some good ones, especially if they stand behind their product and replace any with their issues. I'm just really curious about what is happening. There's gotta be some movement in there somewhere.

[@peedee4065]

@@BrassStacks It's as @sunspot-19 said above: the fluid is bypassing. When you don't have external leaks but the lever keeps coming to the bar (and it's not due to air) then the fluid inside the master cylinder is leaking past the compression piston back into the reservoir. Basically the seal on the end of the piston isn't doing it's job, either due to a fault in the seal or due to excessive tolerances between the seal and its bore.

[@nicksoup]

I loved the video although I don't think I'm to a point "yet" where I want to upgrade my brakes, however I have a question I am hoping you can help me with. I have an E-ride Pro SS and my front brake line got a little kink in it at the spot where it is zip tied to the fork protector from the factory. I thought it was a good spot and also added my own zip ties and thought I was good. Now after the getting the kink, the front brake slips a little and also is not consistent, meaning I can pull it 3 times and it'll apply stopping power 1/3 times. I think one or more pistons may be sticking, since when braking force is pplkied, it lingers after I let go of the brake lever. My actual question is what type of brake line or hose do I need to replace it? I know it's probably covered under warranty but I don't think it'd be a hard fix, plus replacements are on backorder through e-ride, I already have a bleed kit, I just have no idea what to search for, my lever is fine, the disc and caliper is fine, I just need to replace the hose/line. Any help would be much appreciated!
