i just got my new onza trials uni and i am loving it. this
is my second uni, my first being a 24" muni. it took a
couple hours to get a hang of it as i had previously done
all my trials on my muni. the biggest hurdle is the
difference in seats. my muni has a miyata airseat and the
new onza has a KH. despite the fact that the miyata is
brutal on the fingers, I have managed to get my hops up to
about 25". on my new ultra-light trials uni i did not try
anything higher than 20" but rarely missed a hop. i hope to
be nearing 28" by mid january. the onza feels so much more
responsive during trials. doing seat out hops on my muni
felt as if i was lifting the seat, which was attached to a
lead weight by a rusted chain. the onza feels as if i am
lifting a single object vertically collectively. its a nice
feeling :-). the frame is really stiff, which as i implied
above, greatly adds to the hopping aspect.
i will now compare it to the KH20/summit
my bro and "almost" everyone in Hell on Wheel has a kh20 or
summit (not frank) so i have had plenty of chances to ride
them. in my personal opinion, i prefer the onza. this may be
because the onza is "mine" and that implies a certain
increased level of affection, but it just feels more solid,
and i like that in a trials uni. i also prefer the
yuni/nimbus2 style crown over the kh. this is most likely
because my muni has a yuni frame and i have therefore slowly
become accostumed to
it. another advantage i will point out is that the kh comes
with wellgos :-( and the onza comes with bulletproof
style pedals (not great but much better than wellgos).
these differ from the bulletproofs in that they have
more pins and the pins are a good 1 or 2mm longer (no i
am not joking). they are massive and i will surely
"feel" their grip later in riding :-). i also like that
the cranks angle away from the frame to prevent your
ankles from being nipped by the protruding cylinder out
of where the crank attaches to the hub (sorry but i
cannot remember the actual terminology of what i am
delineating). so all in all, i prefer the onza. it is
mine and i shall stand by it. but i guess the comparing
is futile until i put it throught the same torment as
has been put on the kh20s...
and perhaps i will update everyone on the progression of my
testing of this uni in the future........
