How do you measure the performance impact of every upgrade you can make to your Surron?  There is only one answer, put them all on the same track and measure lap times.  Lap times are the ultimate way to measure the total performance of a machine from braking to acceleration, handling, traction, suspension.  Lap times measure it all and give us a way to measure how every single component affects the total performance of the bike.

Notes

  • ICE Dirt Bikes are used for reference to see how the Surron compares against them since many people often ask how they compare. 
  • While even a highly modified Surron will never beat a motocross bike (like KTM) on your typical track/trail, there are certain situations such as extreme technical where power doesn't make you faster and the light and agile Surron can actually become "faster" or better than a racing motocross bike.  It all depends on the terrain and skill of the rider.
