I was messing around in photoshop and i changed the colors on the DX ๐
They should make some new colors because when they're all red it gets boring :p I would really want the orange

They made the frames stronger with some extra reinforcement. Not sure why they added so much extra space between the tire and the frame. I think they got some sorta feeback about how extra clearance is good for muni. If you noticed they have brake mounts on the 20" so I think they thought that the 20" was also used alot for muni and threw in the clearnance. Or maybe thy thought a shorter tube on the frame would mean less chance of it breaking?????
Really, you got me.๐

I honestly don't think they have a good reason. I just think they had no idea what they were doing.

Why mad? Both my muni and my current trials unis are DXs, luckily I got them before they ruined the clearance. They are good unicycles, especially for the money but as far as the current frame goes they had to have had no idea what they were doing.

I agree, though the muni version of the DX is so much better than the trials version, I can't quite explain but it also feels lighter than the trials.

uhh that is exactly how much clearance all the DX's have, your unicycle does not have 4-6" of clearance, that is the same frame without the added gussets for strength, i have my doubts about the uni, but don't hate with false info... thats lame

i think their is a reason you cant explain the dx feeling lighter. maybe because stock and stock the muni has more material in the frame, cranks, rim, tire, tube. it might be but i dislike both because (one of many reasons) the cranks are too short.

I've seen the reinforced frame next to the unreinforced frame and the reinforced one certainly has much more clearance. It is definitely not false info.

Maybe I misunderstood what you were saying but that only supports the fact that it doesn't make sense, the muni clearly has more to it - its larger but with very similiar components yet it still feels lighter.

Amen to that! The trials version has 125's which is absolutely rediculos for trials.

Agreed, for me atleast, the 125mm cranks are next to useless for trials.
For street riding on the other hand they a great.
