Backfire G3 Plus
6 months ago | 7 Replies
The Backfire G3 plus is the upgraded version of the already awesome Backfire G3. Although the difference in price is about $200, there are still ample changes in technical specs as well as design and weight.
Product Details
- As a truly premium entry into the range of Backfire Boards, the Backfire G3 plus comes with a lot of upgrades from the Backfire G3 model. It is lighter, faster, and more powerful in all areas compared to the Backfire G3. Firstly, the battery has been upgraded from the 260Wh to now 346Wh in the newer Backfire G3 Plus.
- The Backfire G3 Plus weighs about 7.3kg which is 700g lighter than the Backfire G3. This weight reduction comes through the use of carbon fiber instead of the previous fiberglass frame material. Moreover, the Backfire G3 Plus offers better handling and balance. The board is also able to flex a lot more because of the carbon fiber.
- The charging time is also considerably higher compared to the Backfire G3. Due to this, it can offer more speed and lasts much longer. The Backfire G3 Plus now lasts up to 25mil or 40km which can easily last up to two days in an urban city.
- Moreover, the board can also reach top speeds of 28.5mph or 46kmph rather quickly. The battery and sleeves are both replaceable, and it also has upgraded motors. The Backfire Board G3 Plus has two motors each of 600W. There is a turbo mode, which uses up the battery reserve quickly.

This board is the best I’ve ever tried. Coming from boosted v2 plus and then a stealth, this is just better on all counts, and at almost 1/2 price. I love the range and the speed, It really does 46kph!
I’ve gotten 20km real world range on turbo mode with battery to spare. Haven’t tried full range test on sport mode yet. I’m a big dude too, 93kg.
The customer service is almost the best part. They are super professional. I am already now ordering accessories. Get this board. Its amazing
Just took it out for it’s first few rides. And let me tell you, coming from a G2T, this thing has POWER! I used to only get 7-8 mph going up a hill I frequent on my commute into work. With the G3 Plus I kept a steady 16mph! The deck feels perfect in the flex department, I’m 170lbs. Just enough bounce to be fun, but stiff enough to go fast (I’ve hit 30.9 mph so far, and with my setup dialed in it felt wonderfully stable). The deck also has very well crafted concave near the edges that lock your feet in nicely. Overall, it’s a fantastic upgrade to the G2T for a long-time downhill longboarder. Still, the lower modes (Eco and Sport) make it usable for beginners. I like nipple bushings and Romp shock pad/nose protectors on my setups and they work excellently on this board.
This board is the best I’ve ever tried. Coming from boosted v2 plus and then a stealth, this is just better on all counts, and at almost 1/2 price. I love the range and the speed, It really does 46kph!
Great beginners or expert’s board.
I did have a backfire g2 but the G3 is a far superior board and I would highly recommend to anyone looking to invest in a hub motor board.Thanks Backfire
