I put my BBSHD in a cheap chinese suspension frame, it did not go well.

Well, it didn't break!
I don't know how you can be convinced that a frame will break, and then ride it!

Thats why I rode on the beach, survive the crash without road rash

Thanks..its the 8 using a mouth grip, which kinda gives horizon lock, because my head moves

Nice! I haven't tried my now old 7 Black but these 8+ models look way smoother without the ridiculous wide-angle look either.

Its linear mode..they all have it, corrects the distortion.

Nice vid and build. Love the way it looks. I think part of the reason your noticing the flex in the frame aside from the play in the frame design is also because the BBSHD is ridiculously powerful at 160nm and an untuned throttle is very peaky. The BBSHD is so powerful it will tear apart anything aluminum on your drive train(chainrings/cassette/hub), I've this the hard way. Even my former BBS02 with the luna tune came with a throttle set to be peaky(on/off). you can set max voltage range so it is more sensitive and you can have some control rather than the near instant max torque. My current BBS02.5(BBS02 with BBSHD controller) build is also very strong and can tug my rear triangle if I am not careful with my throttle. Even being controlled you can feel the power through the suspension. The stock throttle will be peaky no matter what but it will have at least a little bit more sensitivity with those settings.

Thanks, Ive since snapped the frame, repaired it and converted it to hub drive.

It works fine now with push rather than pull.

not far off tbh

Who was the frame seller/mfgr? Did you send the videos to hear it’s ‘as designed’?
