Best Talaria XXX Upgrades: What to Do First
Emirali MazanovThe Talaria XXX is a great bike out of the box, but a few weak spots show up fast: an RFID card instead of a key, plastic covers that crack, and stock brakes that riders outgrow. Here are the upgrades XXX owners ask us about most, in the order we'd do them.
1. Swap the RFID card for a real key
Most XXX owners want an RFID delete. Our plug-and-play key ignition plugs into the grey connector the RFID unit uses, so there's no cutting, splicing or sanding. It fits the XXX and XXX Pro with the stock plastic ignition cover. One thing to know: it isn't waterproof, so keep it out of water. Want to do it yourself? Read our step-by-step install guide.
2. Replace the plastic that breaks first
The stock motor cover is plastic, and it's usually the first thing to crack. Our metal motor cover bolts on in its place with no modifications. The plastic side panels scuff, crack and fade, so our CNC metal side panels replace both sides and include the bolts. Both come in gloss black or chrome silver and fit the XXX and XXX Pro. There's also a metal ignition cover that helps protect the ignition wiring. (Our key ignition is designed for the stock plastic cover, so check with us before combining the two.)
3. Upgrade the brakes
The most common brake upgrade on the XXX is fitting Sur-Ron Ultra Bee brakes. Our Ultra Bee brake kit includes a pre-bled Ultra Bee rear brake and an aluminum mount with an integrated rotor guard. Add the 240mm brake rotor, built for the XXX, XXX Pro, MX4 and MX3. Want the rear brake on a pedal like a dirt bike? The Talaria XXX moto foot brake kit does that. See everything in Talaria XXX brake upgrades.
4. Lock your feet in
For wheelies and aggressive riding, the Talaria XXX foot lock bracket kit is full metal and reversible, so it works on either side. Pair it with our foot lock peg, which bolts straight onto the XXX frame. Want stronger peg mounts too? The metal foot peg brackets replace the stock brackets.
5. Protect the display
A CNC aluminum display guard shields the screen from side impacts and debris without blocking it. It fits the standard XXX, but not the XXX Pro.
6. Titanium hardware
Titanium bolts are lighter than the stock steel ones, won't rust, and add a colored detail. Start with the complete Talaria XXX titanium bolt kit, or browse all Talaria XXX titanium bolts.
7. Make it a street bike
Our thick/wide supermoto wheelset arrives ready to bolt on, with street tires and tubes mounted and the bearings pressed in. It fits the XXX (standard and Pro) and the Sting MX3 and MX4.
8. Light it up
The Rock Light Kit Pro puts 96 LEDs in a full metal housing that plugs into the factory connector. It's IP68 rated and fits the XXX and X3 Pro.
