Looks bad ass!
Could you share your rim and tire specs?

Offroader said:Why would I want to add a 5lbs rim and a 15 lbs tire?
Merlin said::
...tubliss, no flats, 5-6 psi plush ride, grip as frock everywhere, nice looks
no offense bro....i think for you + what i know/saw in your rare videos the SR241 fits like a glove for your riding style/terrain.
stock surron rear with "a" 70/100/19 tire -> 14,1 lbs

Arent my pics visible from the wheel on the scale?
Offroader said:I personally think a 18x1.6" rim is better suited. I even tried to get an 18x1.4" rim, but since the 1.6" rim doesn't weigh much more that is probably a better size to use.
Offroader said:You chose an 3.5"-18" C755 tire. I would have just chosen an 3.00-18". The 3.00-18" is more of a match in tire size to the front.
Offroader said:These are probably not important differences unless the 3.5" tire weighs much more than the 3.00".
Offroader said:But either way I like the shinko 241 tire because it is wears somewhat slowly on pavement, but not too slowly as it has a soft tire compound. I also don't ride in wet, muddy, sand, etc. I do lots of off-road riding but its mostly on dry dirt and grass. The shinko 241 works very well in a lot of conditions and is smooth on pavement.
Offroader said:The other smart thing you did was go tubeless. I have to find out if I can do that on my 18x1.6 rim and tire.
Offroader said:With the Sur-Ron tire, when I ride over anything fast, the rear feels just as plush as the front, which is amazing. When I ride over stuff now with the Shinko 241, I can feel a more harsh hit in the rear.
Offroader said:Here are some pics of the 18x3.00 shinko 241 tire. What is great about this 18"x3.00 tire is it is basically a 100% match in size to the stock 19" tire. That means geometry isn't affected as the rear is not adjustable.

A lot of you guys use Luke's name as if its a magic spell to automatically win you an argument.
Really?
I think that this youtube guy would not be able to ride with bikes like the Surron without the research work of people like LFP and others with similar interests.
Whether here in ES, YT, FB or somewhere else is not the point, thing is that your statemets are disrespectful and arrogant towards the community.
I would count myself as one of those "research and build guys" most of the time, and have absolut the same respect if not more for folks who doing stunts or cool things when riding, but the best race driver is nothing without mentioned people developing new stuff (like Surron tuning controller and battery), or mechanics which keep his vehicle steady.

You can see the pictures how exact in size it is.
