I love honest reviews, full transparency is hard to come by theses days. sure you won't get millions of views per video, but you for sure will gather the smarter individuals who will appreciate your content. uhmmm is something can be phased out. no lies, no obligations to underline contract of said company.

I have had these Volar brakes for about a month and they are working great for me. They got rid of a lot of the noise you get with the stock brakes and especially if riding the bike hard in the dirt. So far have been pretty happy with them. The kit that comes with it install has everything you need to make a nice install.

[@shanee7430]

Thank you for this. Very helpful. Ive had a set in my cart for a few weeks waiting to hear some results on them.

[@DanknessFalls-hr7ps]

Did you buy them If so are you happy

[@alikmrah]

This is the best video on brakes reviews. So informative and explained in a wonderful manner. I ended up buying the brakes set from your online store. Thank you for such a great video.

[@DanknessFalls-hr7ps]

Are you happy with them?

[@alikmrah]

Haven't received them yet as I just placed the order a day ago. Pretty certain would be great!

[@DanknessFalls-hr7ps]

@alikmrah sweet thanks for replaying im probably gonna order them

[@phat56pat]

Hey man, great work I know what it comes to making videos and doing all this type of testing, so yeah sure as long it’s monotonous it’s got tons of information which people actually need and you went through and did those tests

[@armyca]

Only the problem now with bicycle rotors... They are not wide enough for volar pads. But as i know, it will be available soon... Also rear rotor rivets too close to edge, that's why you need spacers there...

[@jedok1677]

Wayy too dang expensive. They need to bring it down. It's crazy.

[@victorvance6279]

No they don't. Imo you're just being cheap. These things are custom made for e-motos. It's on you how much money you're willing to spend on your own safety. You already own a couple thousand dollar bike excluding any mods. Don't cheap out

[@jedok1677]

@@victorvance6279 You have some skin in the game or what? I'm advocating for potential customers like myself. I'm very interested in this product but I find it very expensive so I've not purchased one. I want to see competitive prices. So I want to put some pressure on the company's execs/owner to come up with cost effective measures to their product so it can reach more people. It's for their long term benefit. Especially for the brand,. If they establish themselves as one of these affordable high-end manufacturer, whatever market they dip their toes in will almost guarantee in a positive outcome. For them and the community they're trying to serve. Exactly what Sur Ron did. The first in the market that made a well built emx and up to this day, even though other companies have come out, all these bikes are still typically referred to as Sur Rons by the average person who has heard something about emx.

[@marquis-_5501]

Stop being cheap smh

[@jedok1677]

Oh my comment got deleted. It was a great comment too. I'm advocating for potential customer like myself. If these brakes are truly that good, then I want put pressure on the owners/execs to establish cost effective procedures in the production to reach a wider demographic of customers. The more they can reach in the community, the better the brand will. These are the first emx brakes. If they do what surron did, the brand would do great. All emxs are pretty called "Sur Rons" by the average guys who might've heard a little something about emx's. I personally don't like to throw money on things. If prices are too high and not a lot of volume gets out in the community, this company will miss out on the opportunity to be one of the first to establish themselves. The market is bound to get diluted. I'm just waiting for competitive prices. It's what drives improvements. Now stop with the shaming. I don't get it. I'm advocating for people in the community and even to this company by giving an honest take.

[@marquis-_5501]

@@jedok1677Might as well get something else. These get sold out, if there’s demand why would they lower the price. Edit they cost more now. I got them when they were $900

[@realkidcarter]

Hey havnt watched the videos yet but thanks for making this. I want to get the volar sport brakes for my bike one day
