Super73-Rx Exposed: Why Reviewers Say It Feels More Dirt Bike Than E-Bike
The standout mechanical upgrade distinguishing the RX from standard commuter cruisers sits in its dual suspension architecture. Up front, an inverted coil-spring fork with air assist provides 120mm of travel, paired with adjustable preload, compression, and rebound damping. The rear end relies on a coil-over piggyback mono-shock suspension delivering 125mm of wheel travel.
This layout soaks up potholes, chopped asphalt, and washboard dirt roads without jarring the rider's spine. Cornering over loose gravel feels stable due to the low center of gravity created by the frame-mounted battery. Quad-piston hydraulic disc brakes clamp down on massive 203mm front and 180mm rear rotors, giving riders the stopping power necessary to haul down an 84-pound rig approaching highway-adjacent speeds.
Technical mountain bike singletrack tells a different story. The heavy hub motor concentrates unsprung weight directly in the rear wheel, causing the rear end to skip and chatter when navigating steep rock gardens or root-laced step-ups. The suspension absorbs rolling impacts smoothly, but jumping the bike reveals its weight; this is an urban explorer and fire-road cruiser, not an enduro machine built for airborne downhill runs.
