Wide lens worth it? And motion blur advice.

Can you take those mtb clips or dirtbike where the trees and obstacles at the side pass fast and bend with stock ultrawide on a osmo action 6, ace pro 2, hero 13 etc or do you need to buy the ultrawide boost lens which for most cameras take them to around 180-185 degrees from 150-155 stock.
And also for motion blur how do you do it and do you need a specific lens for it?

buying advice for extreme sport users

I do mtb and i want to record my sessions and trails but i don't have an action camera. I'm looking to buy one that i will most likely put on a fox proframe rs or a leatt enduro 4.0 v23 depends on what ill choose to get.

I got a budget of 300 but if it's really worth it i'll push it for a better camera. Here in Greece best deals i could find that push the budget is the ace pro 2, dual battery bundle for 390, action 6 normal bundle for 390 or go pro hero 13 for around 340. The new mission 1 or mission 1 pro are def out of my budget. There are also some cheaper cameras i've looked in too like the action 4 and there's the ace pro 1 which i haven't really searched.

I care about mic quality especially with wind, durability, battery life 2 hours of recording but ill stop it in between. I want to record for social media i'm not a professional but 4k would be nice. I want a big fov too its necessary for mtb, without it footage looks very slow and the sizes of jumps etc get way smaller than reality.

GPS is a thing too which is nice to have but not a must although it would be nice to be able to use it with an accessory atleast.

And finally i did that format on that website that helps, and it actually helped but didn't narrow my options down to 1-2 cameras.

MTB rear wheel advice

I own a 150mm full sus enduro bike it's the lee cougan quest race 2026. It came with SHIMANO WH-MT501 29″ Disc, Center Lock, boost 15x110mm + 12x148mm, MicroSpine 12speed Wheelset MTB. My rear wheel got a small dent after a mild case on a small gap and generally it hasn't held up very well since on a 12 stair flat drop it got a very small dent after it touched the last stair and leaked tubeless sealant.

I believe it's an xc wheel and i've searched it online or a mid range trail.

I got a budget of 200-300 euros but i prefer to spend less and im thinking of the ex1700, e1900 and i really don't know much about others brands so that's why i want your advice.

My tires are 2.4 also so i might change that but i can't get a rear wheel that will be way too thick or heavy. I could look at 2.5 tires but i don't have a problem with grip with 2.4 and i'll change them when they wear out.

So last hub wise i like loud hubs like the new dt350 on the dt ex 1700 72t has pretty good sound too. Or the hydra industries 2 which i believe is out of my budget if it comes on a wheel.
