@@jackijackdarth1938 Tail drags are heavily reduced by custom shaping but you have to figure out what settings work best for you. The novelty to a rewheeled board is riding past 20mph without pushback comfortably.
Nice shredding Jose !! So before I update with my W rails I set back to 0 degrees? Makes sense cause all my modes are at 3° nose up in 3.0 to level my board. Then when I do the upgrade, Will I still have good gradient tracking results once I set my level back to 3 degrees nose tilt?
Thanks Jose and great question! I haven’t messed with nose angle since my board was leveled out before the update. I’m curious to know how much gradient tracking works with nose angle maxed out.
Great video. I was curious about giving up the rewheel too. I’m pretty good with the way I ride and feel like only the GTS would make me better. I want to really feel the difference and not just be like it’s ok I guess. Like going from an iPhone 5 to an iPhone 15 feels like an upgrade rather than going from a 14 to a 15. I feel like you had a it’s pretty cool I guess reaction to the update. It was honest and I appreciate that. I think I’ll pass on it for now🤙🏽
Rewheel just helps top speed with no buzz, you can still get those speeds pushing through haptic. besides on trails your not averaging 25+ on segments. Why not update and have the ability to adjust tourqe and turns and how smooth either feels,have the tail drag from drops fixed and be able to climb and descend without dragging nose or tail getting yourself caught up. It’s worth the trade off of not buzzing or delayed pushback for real id update.
@@JohnCena-yu3vw I’m stoked you like the update. Every rider is different. I had the original haptic update. I wasn’t impressed so I had it rolled back and rewheeled. I hoped this new update might change my mind. If you think that’s all ReWheel does then I understand your position. Minimal changes to the ride to sacrifice repairing my board when I’m already a very good rider isn’t worth it. I don’t have issues with my riding and I would want a board to level up my skill, not compensate for the lack of it. FM has done the Trojan Horse thing to many times to those of us that have been around a while. Until I feel the update is worth it, for me, the juice isn’t worth the squeeze.
@@obiwan-wheel8113 I get that perspective I’m aware rewheel does a little more then that and if your running after market battery definitely don’t update 😅 but yea man I get it you’ve got the skills down on what it’s been but riding characteristics is a game changer and helps you perform better on the trails believe it or not. Especially switching over from FM to Vesc now I feel way faster because I’ve learned that board feel from FM boards and vesc is now just giving me all the cheat codes to think less and ride hard.
Thanks for the review. Definitely seems like an overall improvement. I did notice on Flow that the board felt a little looser on stock settings so I'm playing around with the settings in the app to see what I prefer. It's probably easier to carve sharp corners now I'm just not used to it yet.
I haven’t tried flow after the update but also didn’t expect them to make that many changes. Having a more stable tire might help if you’re still on stock as well.
Dude, You are shredding! Updated mine yesterday. It really unlocked my downhill capabilities and gave me more confidence with my downhill speeds. Really feels like a new board. Can't wait for this ankle to heal up 100% Landsurfing Rules !
awesome video bro, happy to see someone testing out the update on bonks and drops. it still seemed to have a fair amount of tail drag, I was hoping it would fully level it out. My bonks are struggling because of tail drag.
Thank you for your video as always Jose. I did re-watch your GTS gradient tracking video. Really excited to see the GT got this now. Is 4-3-14 still what you are using? Or have anything changed since?
Appreciate the love! I decided to change it up after putting more miles on the GTS. My current settings for gradient tracking on the GT are 4-5-13 and it almost feels perfect.
@@Alloutjose Thank you so much, I will go adjust mine today. Any changes in base custom shaping that you like to rock with? Dynamic Response /Aggressiveness play the part a lot in tuning?
It might just be me but the performance treaded feels like a heavy bowling ball with no edge. Don’t get me wrong, it’s capable but the compound and shape are not the greatest.
try lowering your PSI. On average, people should ride with about 10% of their body weight for their PSI. For instance, if your body weight is 140 pounds, your PSI should be around 14 pounds on the street and around 7% on trails which is around 9.8 PSI. When the PSI is too high, you will feel like you're riding on a hard bowling ball with no edge that usually means that your psi is way too high. And that can be true for any tire that you buy especially the Enduro bc it is very narrow asf. Try Lowering the PSI to about 10% of your body weight on the street and 7% on trails will help you to absorb the shock from rocks and other obstacles. It will give you better Edge for sure it’s night and day.
I'd say both tires are great but they have different characteristics off road. The GOAT tire is lighter so it accelerates quicker but it also tends to bounce more. The performance treaded is great for its width but it lacks an edge with how rounded it is. It's feels like a heavy bowling ball. I’m still not sure which one I like more tbh 🤨 lol
@@Alloutjose I got the performance threaded and really like it overall but i feel like on some turns it just slips sometimes, just ordered a Goat tire so imma give it a try
Ultimately the choice between GT flat footpads and GTS lowboy soft footpads all depends on your personal preference and riding style. The flat footpads offer a stable platform, while the lowboy soft footpads provide a more cushioned and responsive feel. Consider which features align best with your riding preferences and send it 🤙
11 miles? thats it? Only 11 miles with 8% left? I did fast forward for most, but did u ride 2 times on one charge with 11 miles, or just a full battery and get 11 miles cause wow!
Thanks Neil! I usually don’t mess around with custom shaping and regularly just ride flow/highline but when I saw your settings, I had to try! Good stuff 🤙
@Alloutjose I can make a video for you. I wasn't hating on your video, just saying I think weight has a lot to do with going up hills. I got a real steap hill on the road I live on I have to go up and down to gas station and groceries all the time. I am an adult but my size is the same as a child. I weight 110 pounds. Get someone lighter
