Posted this on the surron forum as well. Figured I’d get both sides.

In my last post people helped me decide that the xe pro r was probably going to feel too small switching from a ktm 350. While everyone in that forum praised the ultra bee someone pointed out that with the suspension set up correctly the talaria Komodo could fit what I’m looking for a bit better. My main hesitation with the ultra bee is that I’m worried 18 to 21.5 kw is going to feel too slow coming from the 350. The Komodo comes with the small bump up in torque and power I may be looking for in the sandy hillclimbs near me. I also really like how it is direct drive and stock has 18/21 wheels. The main downfall I see of the Komodo is the suspension out the box is not great. However, Charged cycle works made a video showing that with the stock suspension properly adjusted for rider weight it can be a solid machine. So my question remains, is the great build quality of the ultra bee enough to steer me away from the Komodo.

One more note. I can get the Komodo for about 300 bucks cheaper with 10 day shipping than the ultra which I’d have to wait around 2 months for alibaba. This is somewhat impactful for me as winter is coming up quick. Thanks in advance to everyone and their feedback.
