As far as I know, compared to the master, the hero has better construction, sealing, and structural rigidity. So with the master they chose to make the body worse to fit more battery in at the same total weight. I personally much prefer the better body over the extra battery. And if you did both you'd have a lardy ass EX20s, which I personally think is too heavy and big

I watched a video on this wheel where they rode the wheel down successive runs of stairs, and it did not sound good, and they did not look like they were riding much of a suspension from the looks of the reactions in their knees and legs. I can still hear that suspension knock in my brain, NOT what you ever want to hear from a suspended wheel. The S20 just SO outclasses this wheel in all ways. Thanks for the video Jimmy.

I kinda feel sorry for this wheel, it arrived when the hype was building up with new tires like Abrams and s20 and the fact that begode shoot themselves in the foot as well announcing the Master,EX2s and even the extreme bull wheels that begode Hero felt like an afterthought (become forgotten in result), i still do believe that the Ex2s and the master was their reactionary wheel so that they can compete with the hype surrounding S20.

Hi Jimmy, I unboxed my Hero the other night that I also got from Alien rides, and it is great. I pumped it up to about 220 psi because the pump is very strange the tip of the pump would not turn so I had to turn the whole pump to get it on and off and I figured I was going to lose some when I took it off due to the unscrewing, so I think I'm about 200 to 210 psi and it handled the bumps well for me at 185 lb. On my first ride, I went up and down 18 overpasses in very windy weather 10mm charade up the battery and I still got 50 Mi with about 30% remaining. Alien had it on sale for $3250, and as you noted between the spiked pedals and the power pads which I estimate to be a $300 value it's not bad. Also, it's the only next-gen suspension wheel that you could get your hands on right now. Mine took about a week to get to me and there was a train derailment delay Incorporated in that. You are gutsy for riding it in the snow and ice like that. Straight flat pavement it handled it so well, and likewise when I went off that trail onto a dirt Trail at handled it like a champ. All in all, I am very pleased with this wheel and like it a whole lot better than the S18, and that says a lot because I really loved that wheel. When the wind dies down, I'm going to try another range test and I estimate I should be able to get 60 miles out of it. My plan is that this will hold me over until the Master arrives which they are estimating to be mid-to-late summer. The way things go with delays in shipping from China, it could be even later than that, who knows, I'm glad I have this wheel.

Thanks for the input! Glad to hear you are loving the Hero! Some really good things about this EUC. Maybe 220 PSI is the magic number. When I checked again, my pressure was down to 180 from what I thought was 200. Probably due partially to the wicked cold. Watch your trolly handle screws before you lose them and consider lock tite. We've had 3 screws fall out from the trolley handle. It's definitely Begode's best EUC to date and anyone thinking that the Master is going be flawless when it releases is kidding themselves.

I gotta say I do like how this wheel looks, but performance wise it seems a bit mediocre. Someone in UK (a video I ran across) switched their tyre out to a Michelin and they said it totally changes how it rides (as in its better), however it lost its offroad capabilities, but with a suspension that doesn’t seem to have much travel, might just be better for on road riding. 🤷🏻♂️

It bottoms out no matter how much PSI you put it in is because it has a TINY amount of travel . If you take a look at the S20 , it has a massive suspension compared to to the Hero's so you have a lot more leeway until it bottoms out . i would just leave it as it is with 200psi as it looks like a no name air suspension. If you pump too much and land hard enough , it'll blow out the cylinder .

@@GoG6138 not necessarily the tat glues to the outside, but the fundamental materials and construction underneath. The hero was overengieneered and they backpedelled and increased profit margin with the master. The batteries parallelised, better protected from damage and heat, the suspension is made from custom cast 3D shapes for strength in every direction, if you look at the master and EX20s, these components are all flat metal plates cut with a laser and bolted togeyher, which is much cheaper. If you watch a hero and master teardown you can see the generally higher level of engineering in the hero. But the master is flashy and has specs so most people will overlook the hero sadly.

Thanks Jimmy! I was not a Hero fan until I rode one with the upgraded suspension. It is a completely different experience. It is worth the upgrade and makes the wheel fun. I have the same tire on my EX.N. I didn't like it at first because of its poor higher speed turning and less carving ability. However, I love how it sounds (like a Sherman) and doing mixed terrain is great. I can go from trails to roads without an issue. The extra thickness of the tire also gives the ride more comfort than a street tire. The extra thickness also gives you a little more chance of avoiding a puncture. The knobs give it quite a bit more rubber before you hit the tube. In the end, I would rather have an S20 than a Hero. However, I am thinking I would rather have a Master than an S20. The EX2 is also looking interesting as a long range suspension option.
