ONYX RCR Review by a Sur Ron Owner!

This is an Onyx RCR vs Sur Ron comparison video of sorts. This isn't the first time I've rode the ONYX RCR, but I wanted to see how it compares to my Sur Ron after several months of ownership.
Prior to riding the RCR I took the Onyx CTY2 out for a cruise to see how their latest model compares to the super 73. The onyx RCR is more similarly priced to the sur ron, but it's a completely different animal with its rear hub motor and smaller battery, and suspension tuned for street riding. The onyx rcr claims to be able to go 60 mph, however at my weight of 195 lbs I was only able to get the bike to go 49 mph.

...no matter what you got a great gig you make us all jealous but you give back big time with all your information with great videos...for me it's the K6 BULL for adrenaline rush and doing 0-60 in 2.7 sec is crazy STAY SAFE and ride to have fun 😎

Looks hella fun but you make the SR look more fun 😆 obviously targeting different stuff as you mentioned. Silence and brakes is definitely great for riding with others

I got tired of waiting for my RCR on Indiegogo and my wife got tired of my whining and when I was watching a SurRon video and OHing and AHing said “ if you like it so much, buy it “! The SurRon just became my “Go To” bike. When I’d go in the garage I’d always head for the SurRon. I disconnected the pedals so they hung down like footpegs. I sort of wish I’d kept it, but I didn’t ride it, so I sold it.

Always love me an RCR but the aesthetics and a bit more speed dont make it worth it for me over a Surron

[ashpunting]

The onyx is a very good bike but I would rather get the Sur-Ron for sure they are way more fun to ride.

[Jeffrigerator]

The obvious solution, buy one of each!

Dope video! Still loving my RCR everyday! Also every wood cover is different. None of them look exactly the same! Eye love my RCR and the Sur Ron is fly as well. But that sound would annoy me everyday all day. And Eye ride pretty fast in the streets and in between cars a lot here in NY so the sur Ron handlebars would definitely need to shaved down so they wouldn't be so wide. My plan is to add a Sur Ron and a zooz Bike and those 3 bikes should cover all my needs for business and pleasure since spending money on gas is not in my future plans at all anymore

By the title of the video I thought this would be a review in the comedic style of Regular Car Reviews.

the motor has a 5 second delay for safety to avoid wheelies you can remove it by changing the settings on the kelly controller with a android bluetooth device.

I really want one of these but I’m waiting to see if they will make it more powerful in the next year. Not that the power is bad or anything but there have been a lot more powerful electric options in the last year or so. I have a standup electric scooter that has 6700 watts of power and now seeing 10, 000 watt options of the same scooter. I’m hoping onyx will increase power to around that… then I’ll be putting in my order for sure.

Get the onyx used with mods already! and ur all set!! as far as price goes there is always a chance somone sells u one with a bad battery so expect later on or even soon u may havbe to get a new battery but other then that these bikes run for ever with low matnince you should check everything over every 500 miles or so and a visual check every time u go to get on the bike

[ellestar]

Thank you for the review. Was it easy to change the surron breaks?

[NiNEJUAN]

I love the content you make. keep it up sir!

[phantasmagoric]

Hey dude! I’m only 15 but I lift and am about 6/5 240 and since your also tall I was wondering how’s the seat height and overall size? Specifically In comparison to the sur ron. Im looking into these and im gunna grow a few more inches so im trying to plan for the future. Does the unit you have got the off road kit? If I get the rcr I do plan on getting the off road kit and taking it on some mountain bike/ light dirt bike trails so I am wondering if you think it can handle that….. The main reason im interested in the rcr over a sur Ron or x260 is the increase in top speed and power since im so big. Thoughts?

[jamesvegas]

man nice review. I already have a SurRon and I love the thing. I've been thinking about getting a cty2 though. Should I just save my money since I got a SurRon? I just like that the cty2 looks more like a bike and cops can't hassle me if they pull me over. I also was thinking about the zooz bike to just to bash around in. So many bikes, so little time....keep up the good work. Cheers!

FYI the onyx rcr speedometer is off by 4-5 mph so if it says your going 49 your actually doing 45 or 44 . Use a GPS to test speed

[powchainsamaniego]

Oxyn not fast enough to surron set up but just update controller and battery 80ah 72volt 45amp if you had 3000watt or 5000watt it's can top off at 50-60 maybe 70

[fatcitycustoms]

Hey brother, fellow big guy here! Im 6'3 and was wondering what you thought of the rcr? How is it comfort wise? And compared to the sur ron

[vintageludwig]

So far I love my RCR. If I want a woods bike I have a KTM for that.
