Upgraded Wheels for Talaria and Surron! // 16/19 or 18/21 

Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching!

Great idea! You’ll love that size at 5’8

got my ERide pro SS yesterday ...burning laps in my neighborhood ....cant wait for offroad .....

Sweet! How do you like it? Anything wrong with it?

@@Ebbrush3 Promo...lol

We didn’t really forget to mention it, we don’t like it. It’s twice the weight for an EXT fork, and way more expensive. So many people we know that went that route are going back to the ext Ferro. And yes we’ve ridden one with a kTM 85 front end.

​@@Talariaboys Was just teasing a bit when I said you forgot ;) If you can afford it, yeah EXT Ferro seems by far the best option for lighter bikes like Sting/Lightbee (as this guy who reverted from 85 to Ferro on LightBee: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vfZBYCGBGVI.htmlsi=8aDUxpqUDKJmy728 ). For bigger bike like UltraBee or KTM freeride, WP43 air fork are probably better choice and regarding cost, I'd say it depends: if going with used part like I did, it is possible to stay below half price of the Ferro (otherwise definitely not worth the hassle to do it) not to mention you also get real brakes! I'll see how it performs on my Sting but I expect the bike as you said to feel too heavy. I don't plan leaving it on this bike though, more probably gonna switch to bigger ebike later, hoping I can reuse it.

Thanks for watching!

We’ve got a few good parks and plenty of hidden gems in ct ya just gotta know where to find em 😉

We haven’t tried any but would like too! Maybe an extended swing arm is in our future as well 🤫

Yes we know, we realized too late after filming.

Nice!!! We are stoked to ride one someday

The basic difference is that the Sting has a linkage in the rear and the xxx does not. So the xxx has less travel and doesn’t feel as plush to ride as the Sting.

We usually put them in the back of Reeds f150 long bed and they fit really nice when we ride together, I (Lance) have a single place moto rack that I use when I ride alone. I'm sure Talaria is always cooking up something but we do not know if there will be another upgraded Sting in 2024

We may do a video on this in the future

Your just looking for a Talaria Sting MX3 Lower linkage , it looks a little different, you don't need to purchase from there but this is exactly what its supposed to look like.ebikezilla.com/en/suspension/59010-replacement-swing-arm-linkage-triangle-talaria-sting-mx3-42700-56000-000-talaria.html

That’s a good idea

Coming

Haha it will work with your Dorado but will just flex a little more than it does now. Do you do any jumping or really hard riding?

No but we'd like to try something at some point

Yes the extra rim width would fit but the rear wheel in general won’t as the hub is a rear hub and totally different.

Yes the xxx will still be a great bike a year from now. I can’t speak for the price or the availability but I don’t think it will change much. Because you’re saving up for it you’ll get to see if any new bikes come out before you actually buy one. Then you can decide if you should get the xxx or a different one.

@@Talariaboys thanks a lot! do you know about if the price will change at all in the near future or any possible new releases from talaria or surron?

I don’t think the prices will change on the current offerings from Talaria anytime soon, and we haven’t heard of any replacements for the xxx coming.

Personally I would really recommend staying at 1.85 rear as its plenty large to fit the largest rear tires that fit on an 18. No need to make it larger. We would love to have you support us and purchase a set of wheels from our store if you are interested! You can use code (talariaboys) for a discount once you spec them out.

Thanks for watching, I should have clarified in the video that I was not at all talking about fork performance and just flexiness, I also should have clarified that each of the forks in the flexy category are not the same...The manitou Dorado is the least flexy of all that I mentioned but that being said it still is not as stiff as the three I mentioned, The reason a cheap chinese fork could be stiffer is because its really beefy... A Dorado weighs 7.5lbs and a Fastace Weighs 12. Thats why, I'm just stating how things feel when we ride them, now a Dorado rides better of course but once your bike is 170lbs and you have a 21 its a noodle! I also mean bending and twisting.

I have a fast ace 2.0 and I was overtaking a audi a4 and it pulled out infront..the forks didn't bend and it flipped the bike over the car and was still fine... I had fast ace 1.0 crashed downhill into a side of a horse box and they bent instantly..

Your pretty dang tall man, at that point I’d really just get yourself a Surron Ultra Bee or wait for the new Talaria dragon coming out sometime middle of next year. Thats what I would do at your height. They are bigger bikes and will make you feel a lot more comfortable, if you got an ultra bee I’d throu a 21 inch wheel on the front and you’d be golden.

We have to just hope for the best at this point, changing on of these tubes on the ride would take hours and a lot of tools.

​@@Talariaboys do they have offroad setups inspired by tubeless mtn bikes? Where they use sealant inside?

We just run tubes at this point

Id still buy from Luna Cycle in California because their's is the most powerful out of the box. Also if you like Red Id wait a week to purchase and you'll know why!

Dunlop Mx33 front and rear, 70-100-21 front/ 90-100-18 rear

That’s a great question, yes it raised it a little bit it’s only part of the changes the sting R has to fix the geometry, I bet an mx4 linkage would help a sting mx3!

@@Talariaboys Thanks man. Know anyone selling an mx4 linkage? I think Ebikezilla may have them.

Hey man we tried it and it’s really really tight in there with it being longer, we wouldn’t recommend it because it compresses the shock property bad.

@@Talariaboys Oh ok. Thanks for letting me know.

We shared it all over Instagram and will make a short video on it soon.

It ends up being really tall in the back and low in the front, a few people ride this way but we don't like it.

@@Talariaboys but 90/90/18 rear is not higher than oem 70/100/19. Is like rfn/beta

I know what you mean but there is a feel difference for sure!

@@Talariaboys Thank you for the awesome content! I'm not trying to be a keyboard warrior haha

What is the difference in ground clearance between the two wheel sets? I’m running a 16/19 and I hit a lot of rocks…. Wondering how much a 18/21 set would gain in height?

@@davidflanagan7214 can’t give you an exact number cuz I only have a 16/19 but I’m sure that it will help with rocks with a bigger wheel set. $$$$!

18/21 does lose a bit more power than 16/19 but not a drastic amount

It drains it a bit faster than stock because the tires weigh so much more but no to bad honestly!

Ya its a big cost but dang is it an upgrade. Do you ride offroad a lot? If not then you won't notice as much difference as someone who rides off-road a lot.

@@Talariaboys I pretty much use it strictly offroad. I only ride roads to get to the trails near my house

Luna doesn’t sell it.

@@Talariaboys where can I get one?

I linked it in a message right above to E bike zilla…

Is the mx3 linkage better than the mx4 linkage? I'm a bit confused about that. They look the same ?

Search talaria linkage on our website. Tbelectricmoto.com

Not sure if we ever will… our builds are prefect for street too if you just throw on supermoto wheels which we actually do frequently.
