Popular Post meepmeepmayer Posted August 29, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 29, 2021 The Hero isn't suddenly bad just because the S20 blows it out of the water. It's still going to be a great wheel - the RS HT was, and it's just one with suspension. I hope-expect they must change the ridiculous price. I'm also intrigued by the metal construction and the apparently new way to build in general, and looking forward to seeing more about that. Finally, it exists already, other than the for-now virtual S20. They'll send out batch 2 or 3 by the time the S20 is available. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gon2fast Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 The wheel looks solid as far as a performance suspension wheel, but an explanation for the price is overdue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed, the preorder price at ecodrift has now been reduced by 270$, now at 2500$ without warranty and 2860$ with warranty. Quite sure the S20 price and specs announcement is to thank. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post That Guy Posted August 30, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 30, 2021 Great to see the competition - we all win! If I had to put a deposit on either Hero or S20 - I would undoubtedly go for KingSong. Would I give Begode/GotWay a chance in the future? Probably, but I'd be listening very carefully what people experience and report about the build quality. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holy crap, when did christopher Nolan start working for gotway to make product videos /s Also saying "do not imitate this operation" indicates you aren't confident in your waterproofing. Either it's waterproof enough to confidently rinse off with a low pressure stream of water when dirty or ride in the rain or you are just pointlessly spraying it with water to give the illusion of water proofness while not actually claiming any IP rating and trying to legally disclaimer yourself to be protected. I don't care about your video gotway, either go on record saying users can safely rinse off their EUC with a light flow of water or show the IP rating, put up or shut up as one might say. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will also buy an S20 but I don't think we'll see them until February and I don't have any suspension wheel currently. Wheel Riders Store says it should arrive to me mid to late November. For all the shit we give Begode/Gotway, they're the only company to show off a real, fully functional wheel and it seems like they've made a lot of great improvements so I was okay giving it a shot.. definitely not what the S20 should end up being though if it's as good as promised.

It doesn't sound very good, but at least it looks pretty responsive. It starts compressing/uncompressing with pretty small weight shifts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very differently from all S18 videos for example. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EMA Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 i'll take some time before saying something good or bad about the suspension, we all know the fantastic words spread before the release of the s18...than the 1st batch come out like shit i still haven't seen yet a working s18 in my wheel life, only noisy unit with broken shock, but it's just my experience i'd like to see a clear video of the travel without air in the shock 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the sound is coming from suspensions damping system. It is a kind of friction, a good one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrelwood Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 Shock absorbers generally do make a sound, just listen to cars going over speed bumps. And not just cheap cars, but maybe even the opposite: One of the loudest shocks I remember were in a new expensive Audi. 2 hours ago, EMA said: we all know the fantastic words spread before the release of the s18...than the 1st batch come out like shit Oh how I wish I’d get even the tiniest of satisfaction from saying “I told you so”… But since I don’t, I won’t even say it. 2 hours ago, EMA said: i still haven't seen yet a working s18 in my wheel life, only noisy unit with broken shock, but it's just my experience I have examined and ridden more than half a dozen S18s, and the suspension worked well in only one of them, and quite well on another. Both were completely overhauled. All the rest were between disappointing and a disaster, despite the varying levels over overhauling being done to them. Latest unit was bought new in May 2021, with absolutely zero improvement to the oldest two from Aug 2020. 2 hours ago, EMA said: i'd like to see a clear video of the travel without air in the shock I’m sure it’ll take some time before anyone will make such a video. But we can clearly see that the suspension already works much better and smoother than on the S18 or the EX, of any batch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
