That just so happens to be our
second favorite pastime, right
behind motorcycles, so it came
with familiar territory. Four-
piston hydraulic disc brakes
come standard front and rear
on the Sur-Ron and offer strong
stopping capabilities. Since the
Light Bee only weighs about
110 pounds, the snappy brakes
make it easy to skid or slide the
rear wheel. Blending that line
again between motorcycle and
bicycle, the Light Bee comes
standard with two hand brakes
and no rear-brake pedal.
The suspension was on the
soft side, which was fine for our
beginner riders, but became
more noticeable when we
began pushing it. The fork and
shock both have compression
and rebound adjustments which
helped stiffen up the ride. This
made it more enjoyable and
capable for the experienced
riders who wanted to jump or
charge the trails harder.
We found the ergos to be
comfortable and neutral. The
Sting-Ray-style seat is wide
enough for adults and provides
enough cushion for cruising
around or railing ruts. The foot-
pegs are on the smaller side,
again think pit bike-esque, but
we've already found plenty of
wider aftermarket options.
The Sur-Ron's suspension
is surprisingly good.
