2. Real-World Performance & Features
Power & Acceleration
-
The Falcon GT’s 16.8 kW motor gives riders blistering acceleration, stronger hill-climbing ability, and a more aggressive throttle response.
-
The Pro’s 10 kW motor is still plenty powerful for most off-road adventures, ideal for riders on a budget who don’t want to compromise performance.
Tip: The GT’s 52-tooth sprocket enhances acceleration and climbing. Many riders also report it may contribute to slightly higher top speeds, though this hasn’t been officially verified. Anecdotal feedback suggests some GT owners notice a measurable boost in top-end velocity compared to the 48-tooth Pro sprocket.
Top Speed
- Falcon GT: 59 MPH
- Falcon Pro: 56 MPH
GT owners can unlock slightly higher top speeds with a factory reset trick:
- Lift the rear wheel
- Press the red throttle button 10 times
- Wait for the error code on the display
- Disconnect the battery for 10–15 seconds
- Retest top speed
This adjustment can add a few extra MPH and push the GT closer to its full potential.
Battery & Range
- GT: 72V, 40 Ah
- Pro: 72V, 35 Ah
The larger GT battery ensures more consistent power over long rides, ideal for extended trail sessions. Both bikes charge in 3–4 hours from a standard wall outlet.
Suspension & Handling
- Falcon Pro: Fast Ace 2.0 front fork – adjust compression and rebound
- Falcon GT: Fast Ace Gravity front fork – adjust high-speed & low-speed compression plus rebound
The GT’s upgraded suspension allows riders to fine-tune their ride for rough trails, jumps, and off-road obstacles. The Pro’s setup is slightly less customizable but still capable for aggressive trail riding.
Brakes & Regen Throttle
-
The Falcon GT comes equipped with Lewis brakes and a regen throttle:
- Acts like a rear brake powered by the motor
- Pressing it increases stopping force, potentially locking the rear wheel at low speeds (<30 MPH)
- Helps save brake pads and provides precise control
-
The Pro relies solely on hydraulic brakes. For controlled slides or high-speed descents, the GT’s regen system is a major advantage.
Tires & Off-Road Capability
- GT: 18-inch off-road tires for superior traction
- Pro: Standard 19-inch off-road tires (upgradeable)
Wider tires and upgraded sprockets make the GT feel more planted, especially in loose or uneven terrain. The Pro can achieve similar performance with aftermarket mods.
Weight & Durability
- GT: 152 lbs (with battery)
- Pro: 130 lbs (with battery)
Both bikes are lightweight, durable, and agile. Electronics are sealed against water, mud, and dust, and both have passed rigorous real-world testing.
App Connectivity
-
Both models allow customization via a smartphone app:
- Adjust brake sensors and headlights
- Fine-tune top speed and power settings
- Toggle ride modes
-
GT offers more performance potential for riders looking to push their emoto to the limit.
3. Conclusion: Which Surron Killer E-Moto is Right for You?
