Best E-Moto Forks for Sur-Ron and Talaria: FastAce vs RFloXa

The stock fork is the first part most Sur-Ron LBX and Talaria Sting riders outgrow. The question we hear most often is simple: which aftermarket fork should I buy for my Sur-Ron or Talaria? There is no single best fork for every rider, but there is a clear way to choose between the two brands most light e-moto builds end up comparing: FastAce and RFloXa.

All forks discussed here live in our E-Moto Forks and Rear Shocks collection. Specs below come from the listed product pages. Always confirm your exact bike and year in the fitment list before you order.

FastAce AHX12RV Gravitee: the adjustable all-rounder

The AHX12RV FastAce Gravitee Fork is FastAce's most adjustable light e-moto fork. Listed specs:

  • 200 mm travel, 37 mm legs, coil spring
  • 18-step high-speed compression, 18-step low-speed compression, and 18-step rebound adjustment
  • 1-1/8" straight steerer, 203 mm brake post mount
  • Listed fitment includes Sur-Ron LBX / LBS / L1E, Talaria Sting MX3 / MX4 / XXX, Segway X160 / X260, E-Ride Pro S / SS, Ventus One, and Rerode R1 (RAWRR Mantis needs a new upper tapered bearing)

If you want fewer knobs, FastAce also offers the ALX13RC (2.0): the same 200 mm travel and 37 mm legs with compression and rebound adjustment, a 110x20 mm Boost thru-axle, and a 200 mm post mount. Note the brake mount and axle differences before you reuse rotors or adapters.

RFloXa Hawk 31 Pro and Max: more travel options

The RFloXa Hawk 31 Pro Front Fork is an inverted oil-spring fork with 37 mm stanchions. It has adjustable high-speed compression, low-speed compression, rebound, and preload. The Pro is listed in two lengths: 750 mm with 203 mm of travel and 800 mm with 228 mm of travel. It is set up for 203 mm discs.

The Hawk 31 Max is the 228 mm travel version. It comes with a widened triple clamp, steering stem, and widened front axle kit. It supports 203 mm discs, or 220 mm with an adapter sold separately. Choose the Pro when you want a choice of travel lengths. Choose the Max when you specifically want the longest travel and the wider chassis package.

Ultra Bee riders: a different fork class

A Sur-Ron Ultra Bee is heavier and faster than an LBX, so it sits in a different fork class. The RFloXa Ultra43 FDC43RVP in the same collection is listed for the Ultra Bee, with 43 mm tubes, 251 mm piston travel, and a 240 mm disc. Do not shop an LBX-class fork for an Ultra Bee, or the other way around.

How to choose in five steps

  1. Bike class first. LBX and Sting-class bikes shop Gravitee, ALX13RC, or Hawk 31. Ultra Bee-class bikes shop Ultra43-level forks.
  2. Travel and terrain. 200 to 203 mm suits most trail riding. 228 mm makes sense if you ride big hits and accept a taller front end.
  3. Adjustability. Separate high- and low-speed compression only helps if you will actually tune it.
  4. Brake and axle standard. Check the post mount size (200 mm vs 203 mm), rotor size, and axle type against your wheel and caliper.
  5. Rear balance. A firm new fork on a soft or worn stock shock makes the bike dive in front and pack in the rear. Plan the shock or at least the spring rate.

Install notes from the hardware side

  • Use a torque wrench on pinch and triple-clamp bolts. Titanium into aluminum fork legs does not forgive guessing. Follow the torque values on the bolt kit or fork manual.
  • Put a thin coat of anti-seize on titanium threads going into aluminum.
  • Check headset bearings while the front end is apart.
  • Re-check axle pinch bolts after the first ride.

Finish the fork with Grade 5 titanium hardware

Fork bolt patterns differ by brand, so buy the kit made for the fork you actually installed:

For axle pinch bolts, axles, and plastics bolts sold individually, browse Titanium Hardware for E-Moto Forks. To see only FastAce forks, shocks, and parts, open the FastAce collection.

Bottom line

For most Sur-Ron LBX and Talaria Sting riders, the shortlist is the FastAce Gravitee (200 mm, 18-click high- and low-speed compression) and the RFloXa Hawk 31 Pro or Max (203 or 228 mm). Ultra Bee owners should look at Ultra43-class forks. Pick the fork that matches your chassis and brake setup, then finish it with titanium hardware made for that fork.

FAQ

Will a FastAce Gravitee fit my Sur-Ron LBX or Talaria Sting?
The Gravitee lists Sur-Ron LBX / LBS / L1E and Talaria Sting MX3 / MX4 / XXX in its fitment. Confirm your exact model on the product page.

What is the difference between the RFloXa Hawk 31 Pro and Max?
The Pro comes in 203 mm or 228 mm travel lengths. The Max is 228 mm and adds a widened triple clamp, steering stem, and widened axle kit.

Can I use a FastAce titanium bolt kit on an RFloXa fork?
No. Bolt lengths and heads differ by fork brand. Use the FastAce kit on FastAce forks and the Hawk 31 kit on Hawk 31 forks.

Do I need to upgrade the rear shock too?
Not right away, but a stiffer fork paired with a soft or worn stock shock unbalances the bike. Plan the rear when your budget allows.
