I appreciate your brutal honesty. I’ve done a significant amount of trail riding on my XR but now i’m doing street riding since i live in a downtown area. there’s trails outside of town so i’ve been on the fence about getting a GT or building out a second XR to go hit the trails again. you’ve pretty much convinced me to go with the GT with all your recent videos.

You are the man Jeff

Nearing 300 miles on my GT. I'm came from an XR and I totally agree that you have to baby the XR and that it's momentum driven. I weigh 200 lbs and always felt the need to ride super conservatively. This is not the case with the GT. I can finally push onto the front footpad with confidence. My riding stance has actually changed and I feel more in control. I've been completely happy upgrading from XR to GT.

just hit 600 miles on the gt, i had an original pint before, and oh my god. i got 600 miles over 2 years on the pint lol. the extra speed and mainly the extra battery time has literally changed my life. i can now go to school, go around town during my free period and lunch, and go home with 25% battery to spare. it’s amazing. i haven’t done any trail riding, because i’m not that great at riding off-road yet, and i started riding the pint with no prior skateboard or snowboarding experience. but man, the gt is worth it.

Great video! Im a GT rider in Florida and ride trails and road and never overheated or had any issues. I’m definitely not riding it as hard as you, but Florida’s temperature is around 100. Keep the vids coming!

Just passed mile 723. 62 days in a row. 62 days since my GT landed and destroyed my boredom. Having never ridden an XR, or a pint, or really any type of board I decided to keep the pressure on the stock tire at 25psi because that’s what FM shipped it to me. Since I only ride roads, I prefer it that high. I carve like a boss, and I like going fast. I dropped it to 16psi on Saturday and it felt sooooo sluggish and I hated it. So I might be the only one in the world that loves the high psi and rounded stock tire. It has been a solid board. Always connects to the app, and rides like a dream. I do notice it getting hot, and holding the heat well after I end my ride. So I can see this being a potential issue in those hot days late in summer. So then I only ride 5-10 miles that day, instead of a full battery. Man, I love this thing.

I get my GT tomorrow, can’t wait! I’ve owned my X-RAY for about 4 years. Thanks for the video

Well put Jeff! I’m at 1100 hours on my GT with TFL W rails, Lowboy Footpads, and FF Goat tire . Trails are where it’s at for me to . I’m an intermediate rider level so a long way to go to max out the board . So glad I bought the GT almost played it safe and bought an XR .

Great review man!! Love my GT. Got a long ways to go to hit 1500 miles (currently at 200 miles), but I'll certainly try to get there this summer. Keep knocking out these great vids man! Us Canucks appreciate your content 🤟 🇨🇦🇨🇦

You’re spot on about the wider stance. With a wider stance, it feels rock solid. Great video, man!

Great video... I'm watching GT videos while waiting for my GT. Shipping from France to South Africa.

Oh tire!!! I have treaded and slick and hands down slick is better in everything but super soft sand or mud. It’s a softer compound and almost identical to the pint slick.

Got out of my comfort zone, and put the front foot in front. Feels so much better. I was stuck on having my foot where I wanted them, not what's best for the board. Thank you for the information.

i’m 210lbs and have ridden the og pint for 4 years now planning on getting the gt during black friday and cyber monday but honestly the pint isn’t too small and handles just about anything and since it has such small and thin rails has really good ground clearance, top speed 27mph 🤙🏼 #respectpushback

Amazing review, straight shooter, keep it up 👍🏼

Did you just rip one at 5:03?? 😂 😂

Love your review about to buy a gt and you gave me the extra punch to buy it.

My Son’s pint x ghosted for the third time yesterday. Still no ghosting whatsoever for me on the GT. Loving my GTR.

I never owned a one wheel before... Bought the GT strictly with the intention of having something that would fit in the passenger side floor of my tractor trailer truck for transportation when parked for days. To me it made no sense to go with any of the previous models. As products are refined over time the latest model, the most powerful, the best range was hands down the GT! That being said I only have 33 miles on mine so far and I have no regrets in choosing the GT and I don't think I ever will! Loving it!!!

Thank you sir!

Wow great vid I enjoyed every bit of it I will be late getting my GT but I know its worth the wait

First off, congrats on breaking the top five on the leaderboards 🤙🎉 let's goooooo As far as the GT goes, I've had mine since April. I've got about 500 miles on it, mostly street. My only complaints are with the tire-I have the treaded-and the hardness of the foot pads. The tire is very hard and bouncy but more than that I don't feel comfortable when I'm turning, especially on trails. I feel like it's gonna slide out from under me. I'll have to try adjusting my foot placement per your suggestion and see if that feels more stable. The foot pads thing is easily solvable with third-party, so that's a non-issue. Honestly I'm right there with you. I love love love my GT. I came from putting about 2500 miles on my Pint (quart) before upgrading to the GT and holy hell I friggin love it. I'm not a fast rider (current top speed on my GT is 19.2) and I love being able to ride as hard/fast as I want with really no fear of a nosedive. It's fantastic 🤙 GT all the way.

This is the realest to the point review i have ever seen. Ummm what he said! I feel exactly the same. I have to baby my xr when riding. Keep in mind im a big guy, 275. This Gt though. "What you demand, the GT gives!" The GT is the machine to get 🤙

I've got about 500 miles on my GT and I love the thing! Have had no issues with ghosting except when the footpad got some crap on it and had to clean it off. 100% fine after that. At first I babied it, but now I pretty much only ride it and not my XR's, and have taken it on the gnarliest trails and drops my skill level can handle! Out of the box it's such an improvement, and it's a lot sturdier. I've even gotten used to the stock treaded tire after breaking it in and riding with a lower PSI, but I can't wait to get the enduro for it and hopefully some bang's. VESC looks cool, but I tried the CBXR and it fried my BMS on my XR, so that permanently burned me on internal mods.

Always ridden a wide stance on trails when I’m ripping! Good tip btw I got a enduro Gt coming. Yes my GT I feel some fatigue at 150. I let it cool at that.

I tried riding with a little wider stance and you were right, much better! Thanks!, keep those pro tips coming!

Don't worry I'm going to do my 117 mi review soon LOL love you man!

I really really love my GT!.. I only have 232 miles on it so far, but my goal is to Infinity and Beyond!!!😂 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Heck yeah! Glad to hear an objective point of view

Thanks for the recommendation! I have a pint x, will give it to a kid and plan on 2 GTs one for me and one for wife.

Oh man. You did it to me again. With a review video. My legs are tired, man. It's late. I rode 20 miles today. I can't be getting News Flashed like this at midnight. I can't be getting all pumped to get my GT out and try a wide stance. I have to sleep man. I need to rest. I am gonna do that stuff. Later. Right now I'm going to ride in the dark. Thanks, Jeff. Thanks.

Want to get a GT later, yet loving my PintX. Got a float plate attached to the rear bumper and tail slides have never been easier! Really catches people's attention when you tail slide to a stop right in front of them, especially on a college campus where I am.

Great video Jeff 💪🏼 Even though my GT had a motor issue 150 miles in and started clicking, it is by far my favorite AND best onewheel you can buy at this point. My big 2 issues are the TIRE (which thankfully I have GT enduro on order so that’ll be fixed) and OVERHEATING. I live in Charleston SC and the heat index was a humid 111 degrees the other day. Absolutely terrible out. Took the GT down some gnarly off-road trails then hit this absolutely wild pump track with some huge onewheel jumps, inclines, and berms. It was already warm from the trails but the pump track is the most extreme torture test I’ve ever seen on the GT. It will skyrocket your temps up to 170 after just one all out lap or two. Very curious if the lightning rails I have on order will help with overheating so quickly. I have a good feeling that the statorade and stripped rails are keeping you riding for longer than you think!!

Yeah my 6-year-old and my two eight year olds try riding the GT but it's too bulky for them. I'm going to have to dish out the money for a Pintx.... I 100% agree with you on that. Also, the safety beap could be louder as well. When the winds blowing in my ears and I'm booking it, I can't hear that beep bro! Also, the concave/hard plastic makes my front foot go numb... But that's it for complaints from me! I'm 200 lb 6 ft 1, the GT Powers me up hills, through trails, etc... I feel so good and protected on it, I love it!!!

Im with you Jeff, I enjoy riding my GT more than both my growler and XR and pint, I trust the GT so much more than my XR as well. However I didn’t really fall in love with the GT until until I got the Enduro tire. It changed everything for me. #FOMF 🤙

Yeah man, I'm a short dense dude with wide shoulders, wide GT stance is perfect for me. I don't ride my stock GT now with a GTR w/trail pro, but look forward to the Enduro to have a 2 board option...if I can't sell my XR's, they are getting donated to my nieces and nephews

Got an overheat 4th time around the track in San Jose on an 80° day good thing I have my XR.... you in San Jose for the race jeff!

I totally agree! Have 1,600 miles on my XR and 400 miles on my GT. XR is collecting dust in the garage. GT is a different animal, but better in almost every way. I’m looking forward to getting rails or half and halfs to drop it a bit

New to Onewheel and zero board sports experience. Anyone have any advice on how to get ready for / train for trail riding?

It would seem your overheating issue has to do with Future Motion's design change of the rails. Instead of anodized aluminium, which acts as a further heat sink to cool the motor, the GT and Pint now use powder coated aluminium (giving it that not-made-in-my-garage look). Powder coating acts as a thermal barrier and thus no longer allows further heat dissipation through the rails; causing overheating as opposed to the XR (which was also underpowered). Anywho, I use electric unicycles to get around town. I just can't justify spending the same amount of money on a GT as an EUC that can go 70 miles on a charge and do so going 30 mph. Perjhaps once I've owned all of the EUCs that I want will I try a OneWheel, but I want to mod it myself and according to Future Motion, if I try to do a battery swap, my board is bricked. THAT IS ILLEGAL!!! FM continues to do it anyway and I just can't support that practice. The FTC has even told them that is illegal and they just don't care. As much as I prefer Mad it the USA over China, I'll take an EUC over a OneWheel any day of the week.

I think I’ve had more problems than anyone else with my GT‘s, and I’m still a fan. I am trying small customizations to make it more comfortable, but I can’t wait for that Enduro tire! If Future Motion will make different shaped foot pad options for us (both front and back, no sharp edges), I think that will go a long way in rider comfort and confidence. The overheating has been a serious issue for me, as I am one of many who destroyed a motor from riding trails too hard, causing the stator to start coming apart. I am liking the GTR conversion much better than the stock rim and tire, but it comes with a lot of risk many people (understandably) don’t want to take on. I am still faster on trail segments using my tail rail XR‘s, but if I keep chasing you that might change 🤙🏻

Nothing but quality as always

Great review Jeff!

if you live in santa cruze .. sure but if you live anywhere else, better get the XR ;)

Great brutally honest video. I started on a Pint X and my GT easily blows it away. I rode an XR on a group ride, and it's great but it's not a GT. One question, does stripping the paint from the rails help keep the board any cooler, and is a protective cover needed to protect the bare metal from the elements?

I couldn’t agree more! What do you think is going to be best down the road…xr/pint hub…or gt hub with better rails and tire? I recently switched to gtr with maxis treaded and like it though I do notice a little less clearance on the nose and a little less torque…not sure if it’s the tires or weaker magnets 🤷🏽‍♂️ I’m 210lbs and can use all the torque I can get 😂🤓🤘

Just converted my GT to GTXR and it's WORLDS apart in trail performance. Still want to solve the tippy feeling that I can't shake. Took several nasty spills with stock tire just running over off-camber obstacles and it's been hard to trust the board not to tip. I am also in TX, local trails heat mine up to 180 degrees if I keep running them hard, but with reasonable cooldown it's totally not a problem. At least at this point the board still outlasts me in terms of overheating in 100+

One piece of advice for the video Turn Down The Music Volume a little bit I'm in a car listening to this and I can't understand what you're saying because of that other than that great video this is great information thank you I've been interested in game one of these now I know which one to go for

How long till u have to change the tire?? Ideally

Is the stock treaded tire good enough to do all around riding and some light trails? Or do I save up and wait for the Enduro? Thx Jeff!! PS I have the GT on order.

Background music; turn it off

Do you prefer the GT with the stock 6.5 hub or your GTR? (for cruising on and off trails, not necessarily for best time)

Hardcore dude

Great job son

Should I do get the GT im 5,3 pretty short but seing that the pint may be to small for my feet and im still growing i think the GT is the rigth choice for me

"buy a used XR" is the crowd wanting to sell their XR.

Has it ever powered off going over a slight bump, shorted out?

Can u do a how to turn on a GT. I just want to here what u have to say.

Do you think it’d benefit from a lowering kit?

Homer rides onewheel 🤣

Background music is too loud fyi
