  1. Ive been searching the forums for a while and can't find any that
    compare the Torker DX 24" to the onza 24" muni. Wich is the better
    unicycle for offroad? I weigh about 195 and so don't want something
    thats going to bend or break easly like my LX did. What do you guys
    suggest?

  5. ive had the onza for 8 months or so and its done pretty well. Maybe some
    people prefer a 3" tyre to the 2.6" Kenda one on it but ive never found
    it a problem. The 165mm cranks are great for hills but sometimes a bit
    slow if its flat terrain. I changed the saddle to a KH fusion Freeride
    recently and it is a big improvement. Unfortunately I cannot comment on
    the DX as ive never tried one.

    hope that helps a bit maybe

  6. I would go with the DX. I know people that have both, the Onza is older
    but has had some problems and it is somewhat more expensive. I'm not
    sure, but I think that they are stocked with the same tire, a 2.6". The
    only think about the Onza is that it is considerably lighter that the
    DX, but weight doesn't really matter that much.

    Bottom line:Onza is lighter, but DX is cheaper --> get the DX.

  7. If you are willing to pay the price for a 24" Onza, then I recommend
    buying the 24" KH that feel_the_light linked to on AEbike for under
    $420. I guess you are shying away from the KH on udc because of the
    price, so the one on AEbike is ideal.

    Here is what I wrote in a different thread today about KH or DX:

    Quoted message said:

    Advantages of KH over Torker:

    - Weight. The KH is significantly lighter than the Torker. The KH
    weighs 14.8lbs, the Torker DX weighs 22lbs.

    - The KH runs ISIS hub and cranks. The hub is compatible with ALL other
    ISIS cranks (except the koxx). As far as I know, the DX only runs DX
    splined cranks.

    - The frame will withstand a lot more on the KH than the DX. Kris says
    he only knows of 6 frames that have been broken, though there may be
    more he doesn't know about. Who can even recall how many have been
    broken of Torker's?

    I can't think of much else I know but I'm sure some clever people can
    add to what I've started. Anyone here will tell you that the KH is a
    much better unicycle. Like Sp4rky-m4rky said, you won't be
    disapointed.

    The thread is 'here'
    (http://www.unicyclist.com/forums/showthread.php?t=61576) if you are
    interested to see what other members have said.

  9. DX is a way better deal, no matter what you put it through it will take
    it, Great uni, sturdy, nice price for how good it is, made for huge
    stuff, and people who will put it through anything, street or trials.

  11. I agree with Amanda and Feel the Light. Go for the KH at AEbikes. They
    are realiable. I got a KH20 from them and my friend got a KH24 from
    them no problems. You can't go wrong with a KH. I have the ONZA24. It
    is a great Unicycle. The Only thing I did not like about it was the
    crown. I would always hit the inside of my knees on the end of the
    pipes that create the crown. It hurt like a M***R F**R! I fellow rider
    has the Torker DX24 and boy is it heavy. It also has the ankle biting
    cranks and a thinner Alex 32DX rim. That will give you problems if you
    want to put a brake on the MUni.

    Go for the KH24. It is the best deal around.
    If you don't mind that crown on the Onza it is also a good chioce
    allthough inferior to the KH.
    The torker is the worst choice. Don't go for it. It is very heavy. This
    counts for jumping! The ankle biting cranks and the thinner Alex DX32
    rim are all negatives that matter big time.

    Go for the KH24. It is the best deal around. I now have the KH20, KH24
    and KH29 and am extremely happy with all of them! I hate getting on
    other unicycles. They are the Cadilac, Corvette and Escalade of the
    Unicycles!
