You might have to take the plastic handle off and manufacture something that would take its place -- something that can fold/recoil inside itself so when needed it can retract vertically.

Even the rear lift handle on my Abrams works for me. I don't use the Abrams trolley handle because I know it will not last.

Just by looking at the picture I posted with the guy standing next to it holding the handle, it seems short. But OK, will wait and see what they say in the reviews I guess 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techyiam Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 (edited) This is getting exciting. Begode, according to Marty, managed to build a suspension that is competitive to the Sherman-S.

HOWEVER, the suspension is supposedly just as good, feels lighter than the Master, etc. Honestly, did we really expect the quality to be better than the SS as a Begode wheel? I've already stated the many things I like about this wheel knowing full well the "quality" begode dishes...

BKW Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 (edited) I haven't rode the SS, but I suspect the CP will feel more balanced when riding. It looks less top heavy? Edited January 13, 2023 by BKW 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is also on the back edges of the shell as well. Do you think there is any reason for this? Or is this just for aesthetic purposes? I noticed Begode did the same thing with the Mten4 where they left holes around the body for attachments, so it makes me wonder if they had plans to put something there or not?

techyiam Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 (edited) Get this, not only does each leg of the suspension structs on the Commander Pro has both compression and rebound damping, they are both adjustable separately too. In the motorcycle world, this is a big deal. Marty also hinted at some negatives. I guess we have to wait for his full video for more details.

How do you know that the two shocks are adjusted to the right number together. One being under utilized would stress the over utilized one? With the V11 you can see the pressures on the pump. How would you know they are correctly set? Since I have little knowledge of these matters I am just wondering out loud. Is it simply just turning the nut to you get a certain feel that feels the same on the other shock? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typically you turn the adjuster to one end of the spectrum, then you backout to a specific number of turns.

BKW Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 (edited) I just saw the video. My impression is that the SS is definitely prettier than the CP. From what Marty said about how the wires inside are all jumbled together, this doesn't give me hope for the inner build quality. As far as the suspension, you can't really judge it accurately here as the CP hasn't really been adjusted from what Marty has said, and it's also a personal preference I think (need more assessment of the suspension). The SS looks taller , but that may be because of the knobby on the SS and the CP being lower with the street tire. It was a very basic impression video, so not too much to go off of here, except I think there are clues that the begode will not have as good as build quality (not really a shocker). Oh, yeah... the trolley handle kind of worries me a bit. I personally think it's likely more stable and stronger than the SS trolley handle, but what I don't like about it is how short it is when you stand next to it. If you look at Dawn standing next to it, it indeed looks short, so a taller person I think would have trouble with it I think. As far as the "sharpness" feel Dawn and Marty said, this isn't a problem as one can easily have some type of wrap on it to fix that. Right now, it's all about trying to figure out the quality and reliability of the CP. I think if it's not garbage then it stands to be a proper contender to the SS. If the quality is really bad then even at 134v and a bigger motor, that will put a big hamper on whether I will get it over the SS. Btw, I saw a SS in person today, and it's not as big as I thought it'd be. So I am not concerned about either the SS or the CP's size at all.
