If you’ve been following along you’ll remember in the last video [ • Building the SURRON X BEAST | Fast 7... ] we took a stock Surron Lightbee X and gave it the Shock Bikes power treatment. The Surron got a BAC8000 controller with the 15kW EBMX tune [https://bit.ly/ShockBAC8000Stage2], APT Display, the biggest Surron battery, a 72v 57Ah EBMX battery [https://bit.ly/Shock72v57AhBattery], seat risers to accommodate that bigger battery, a DirtyBike mechanical 1/4 turn throttle [https://bit.ly/DirtyBikeMechanical] and a Pro Bash Plate [https://bit.ly/ProBashPlate].
Now that we’ve thrown all of that power and weight at the bike, it’s now time to address the other components on the bike. So we went back to our friends at Elite motorsports (https://bit.ly/elitektm) with the next batch of parts from Shock Bikes in hand.
First up is the custom, reinforced EBMX swing arm (https://bit.ly/EBMXSwingarm), which is more rigid and roughly 2.4” longer than the stock Surron swingarm. The bike also received the custom YSS EBMX shock (https://bit.ly/EBMXShock). It’s clearly bigger and has a longer eye to eye length but it also has slightly less travel. Less travel aside, this is a much burlier shock than the stock one. Because the shock is longer than OEM, the kit also comes with a custom Rear Linkage and Triangle, which is set up to bring the EBMX shock in line with the travel of the stock shock.
Woodys Wheel Works (https://bit.ly/WoodysWheelWorks) laced us up a set of Excel wheels with the 19” up front and a 16” in the rear. The Excels are running Pirelli Scorpion MX32 tires and we’ve also mounted a bigger, 58T rear sprocket.
We also swapped out the mechanical throttle for another Dirtybike throttle option, this time it’s the Magura, 1/4 turn throttle (https://bit.ly/DirtyBikeMaguraThrottle).
The stock pegs were replaced by some race spec pegs and peg brace (https://bit.ly/ShockFootPegBundle).
I was planning to use a WP air fork off of a KTM 85SX. GritShift sent the mounting kit (https://bit.ly/GritShiftForkConversion) to put this on and I’ve obviously got the fork and the triple clamps, what I don’t have is a full brake kit and hub for the front of this bike.
After pricing all of that stuff out this swap was going to cost me over $3000 which to me was too insane so while I scour the Internet for used parts to make this happen, our friends at Charged Cycle Works sent us a FastAce fork (https://bit.ly/FastAceCCW) with their mid tune on it.
