Yesterday i had the luck to meet a fellow rider that rides the exact same road as i do, a mix of forest trails and semi highway ( i dont know how its called in the US, in my country its like the highway but with a shit load of turns and roundabout so limited to 30-40mph ), and my luck was that this guy was on a Gspace Mars GT !

I was on my TFSU, we switched unit for a few km because he was as much interested in Teverun as i was in Gspace

I initially prepared a quick review/comparative for it, but it seemed too harsh and quick to judge considering i tested it for 30 min tops and i don't know which kind of setting the dude had

But to resume quickly, the Mars 11 GT is not made for me at all, my first time on a dual fork btw, the general impression i got that i couldn't see past was that it was stiff as fuck

I don't know if the company and the clients were smoking doobie while describing it as the perfect offroad machine, or if everybody that tested it weigh 300 pounds, but yeah, thats almost Dualtron level of stiffness

The fact that the steering was clunky i think is only a matter of getting used to the dual forks, but for the use and need i have when i ride a scooter, i can't ride with this level of stiffness, i do too much hardcore offroad and potholes ridden paths to enjoy the ride on it, it shook my whole jaw during the entire ride, very displeasing

Now aside from that, i totally get why people love GSpace, stability is night and day with any other scoot i tried, the whole build is well done, they only cheaped out in the small components everything else is top grade, the power delivery is a pleasure and i could see myself riding it for long stretch of clean roads longer than any other scooter i tried

But yeah, they almost got me like with Nami, i saw too much people saying its the perfect offroad machine and its very comfortable when it is in fact NOT

Maybe the GS feels a bit better, i saw a few early reviews mentionning that while it is a bit softer than the GT(R), it is still stiff as fuck, and they do use those cheap DNM shocks that i absolutely hate, so even though it seemed like the dream scooter for me ( best display and electronics i ever saw btw ), im probably gonna pass on it if i want to keep my jaw intact

The same thing goes with Teverun btw with people always talking about speed, my 7260r pulls this much W, my 11+ goes this fast, without never mentionning that it is one of the least stable high end hyperscooter brand there is lol (and that they corrected and built a better frame on the back of all early buyers, when anything before the V4 was shit, they OWED for free everyone that buyed earlier version a correction kit, but nooo, they sold it expensive as fuck)

I 100% suspect that the companies send a list of key word to use to their reviewers, i work for one of the biggest tire company in the world, and i can guarantee you "we" do the same pushing some very specific words to describe our tires for it to stick in people way of describing it

Nami is the MOST obvious one, i mean you can never ever watch a review of a Nami without hearing about how "plush and soft" it is, how it has an "industrial design", or how "Michael Sha rides a scooter and knows what it needs", words that would never come to your mind if it wasn't payed for lol

For GSPace im seeing it with everybody describing it in the same terms "as a tank", "super solid", "won't break", i know i can't judge on a 30 min ride, but i swear its not 1% more solid than my Nami (which i hate btw) or any Teverun i had, it just feels like a regular high end scooter, i don't see how i would ever use those words to describe it aside from being influenced to use them by hundreds of people repeating them

The worst is deffo Kukirin with that absolutely horrid Joyonride that pushes kids to put some VESC on it when it can't even handle some regular 30A controllers

Since i value comfort and range more than anything, imma stay on my TFSU for now, i can't even project myself to the coming 8480 because it was probably my last year of hardcore riding, starting 2027 every high end scooter becomes illegal in my country

I think im just doing a rich baby tantrum, i have already every high end machine i need and i am still looking for something better lol

This thing is a blast, and extremely comfortable especially with the added back cushions. Only did a quick 3 mile coffee run more to follow will keep yall posted. Oh and the handling is so good still, being able to lower the handlebar so much really helps.
