I think the dx is 14 or 15 pounds.

I would just get the dx then upgrade it. use that 70 bucks and continue
to save up and buy a kh hub and crankset + kh rim and some kind of
spokes and you'll save alot of weight then upgrade the frame and bam
you have a kh.

🙂
i can jump 28-29"
and over a large traffic cone, not a barrel, a cone ... standing up,
however big that is
im just learning SIF because I had the 05 DX but just got a 19"
rim/tire (the old one was 20"😉
i can jump plenty far on it.
the weight is a good thing.

i think my frame may be the first 2007 model to break though, the
seatpost is not straight up anymore, the seat is about 1" over to the
side. I think that the way they fixed it did almost no good. they
didn't weld the top of it to the seatpost. that would have been the
fix.

i jumped off a 9 set w/ mine :P
and did about a 9 foot drop...onto something that sank into soft mud.

yea i experimented last night agianst my little freestyle one that is
like half the weight of the Dx and bounces real well.

Then my DX, ended up jumping better than it in all areas, when i
thought it would be the opposite, (exept in highth (but you get used to
it, and it strenthens your legs, plus it was only 1 inch less than my
half as heavy one)).

I guess the weight caries it in the air more because of the force you
exert on it.

It seemed really heavy at first, but feels light after a while.

Qu Ax is the better option, i would advise you, I don't know too much
about the torker apart from the hub is an exact copy of qu ax's!
Qu ax is very strong, not as heavy as torker as far as i know, To be
honest i need to know more about the Torker to compare properly but
from what ive heard about torkers QU Ax are definetly the preferable
option. The price is still very good value.

No, it is not. They don't even fit together, slightly different size.
The main thing that is the same with the hub is they are both 10
spline.

They are both pretty strong uni's, although on the heavy side, but
weight does not keep you from doing anything, it just might make it a
little harder to learn is all. The Qu-ax frame is better (stronger, at
least) then the Torker frame.

Comparing the hub/crank strength of the two is pretty much just in
theory. I haven't heard of anybody breaking or even bending either
one*. Both strong, but I "suspect" the Qu-Ax cranks would be the
strongest of the two, if only by a little.

All in all, yes, Qu-Ax is better, but you'll have to decide for
yourself if it's worth the extra money for you personally. I would get
the Qu-Ax unless you are going to get a KH later on.

Keep in mind that the DX comes with 125mm cranks and the Qu-Ax comes
with 145. You can get 125's for the Qu-Ax but I'm not sure if UDC has
them.

not sure, roger spoke to me the other day and said you can slip the
torker cranks on to the qu ax hub and vise versa maybe there the old
cranks or something, I dunno lol ive never even seen a torker in real
life but i looked at a picture and the cranks do look very similar

I've tried it myself, I could get the Qu-Ax cranks on the DX, but not
the DX on the Qu-Ax. The Qu-Ax cranks wobbled on the DX.

Yeah it probablly does have something to do with the year and model...

Hhaah I was affraid I was gonna be in here somewhere...Ok back to
topic. Well im actually gonna say qu-ax to this one, if you want it for
trials and you dont want to have to worry bout that blasted frame than
you might wanna go with the ax. Torker is cheaper and from what I have
seen very close to same strength. But if you buy a torker you will
probably have to buy a nimbus frame to go with it costing another 40
dollors. still slightly cheaper but not by much. Cranks 145 seems a bit
long though, I prefer riding 125 but I ride street and a lil flatland,
I dont do trials as much anymore prolly because those tiny beasts, but
shorter holds drops better. if you can get some 140s but for trials I
would go for the qu-ax bro. and its a lil lighter too ;-)

Edit: But in one year get a Koxx instead...sry guys couldnt resist ^-^

The highest I can hop on any unicycle. Weight doesn't really
matter...you adjust to it, either way.

Well I used to ride a Dx and I have hopped 34in on my friends, and ive
dropped 9ft on a dx 24in, only bent the hub and some JCs on that one.
You will build up muscle riding a heavier uni...Hm I think I might
stick to street on my muni to get the girlies :-D

Whenever I do stair gaps or other rolling hops I always use my muni. it
just feels more stable at a faster cadence (sp?).

as for the hopping question, I can hop about 16-17 inches on my dx
trials and about 3 inches less on my dx muni (you do the math). But the
weirdest thing is I can hop about 19 inches with my old freestyle
unicycle with a maxxis maxdaddy tire on it. 😕 I think my next
unicycle is just going to be a standard freestyle with a splined hub
and 140mm cranks because I really don't like lugging around that huge
tire. I'd rather just run a hard tire lightweight maxxis. that's my 10
cents my 2 cents is free.

well what PSI are you running your trials tire, I lowered my psi and
built some muscle to match the new weight and my hop increased
dramatically, when I got my first trials setup I was running a luna at
a high psi and my sif dropped by about 4in, but my si increased by a
couple from the new compression, you have to learn how to compress the
tire differently to get the full effect and build some muscle to match
the mod setup...
