wow, you hid that bit good haha

Might be that Koxx is lighter, but Annika`s cranks broke when we tried
to take the pedals off and even Tassilo, who weighs about 40kg
destroyed even though he has good technique doing a small drop. Some
Koxx unicycles look good, but durability is a bigger priority for
trials and street riding than just being aesthetically pleasing.
And I think I dont have to mention the relation of price and quality...

Also, Rocco Schulz and Lucas Wintercrane ride Qu-Ax. That automatically
makes the unicycles super cool.




What were you taking the pedals off with a sledge hammer!? I weight
155lbs, and I have taken my koxx off 8ft several times, I dont use Koxx
because they are light or look cool, I use them because they have THE
strongest crank design....Yoggi and Xavier ride koxx that alone makes
them better than Qu-ax. qu ax is heavy and still using the crank design
back from Krises old 04 design, I think its time to upgrade a lil bit
here...As for your friend destroying it, what broke on it? Only things
I have damaged on mine are the seat post since I was using the old
unreinforced model like Kh is using, and the rim because I dindt
realize it was untightened I could pull the spokes together with my
fingers and did a 360 down a 4-5 set causing it to tweak, I still road
on it the rest of hte day like that doing 6 ft drops still...I got it
trued and tightned later and its never had a problem since, just a lil
tweaked from the first bend.
Qu-ax is close to the same strength and weight as the torker dx. I have
broken e-v-e-r-y s-i-n-g-l-e part of that uni. Ive bent 2 torker hubs,
snapped a crank off, broke 2 pairs of the pedals they come with, bent
the hell out of 2 seat posts, broke 7 spokes out of the wheel at
once(it was true then) and not nipples actual spokes, I coudlnt count
how many nipples I broke out. Ive broken 2 of there frame, bent another
2, and the seat stiffiner in the middle is taped together after
breaking it too.....


Ohh and Forrest is the only reason Qu-ax is sorta cool ;-)

Didn't yoggi do that and land on a tire? and fall?
I think KH has done drops that big on the north shore stuff.

Well let me tell you guys what I think ! KHU makes 1 19'' unicycle. Koxx
has ALOT off different models for each and every single style. That's
what made me go with koxx. They specialize in every style by making a
unicycle made for THAT style. Examples : XTP for trials, Black domina
for flat, Orange bud for street, Signatures for freestyle ETC . So, of
course if you go take the black domina off a 10ft drop it's possible
that it will brake because it's ment for flatland ! BUT go take the
orange bud off it and tell me if it brakes ! That's the thing people
dont seem to understand when it comes to koxx-1 you have to buy the
unicycle that's ment for your style and stick with your style ! Me, Im
riding a bedford frame with the koxx-1 reinforced rim and the street
cranks, never had a problem with it, i love more then my profiles.
People who break there koxx-1 stuff don't buy what's right for them.
Koxx-1 in my mind anyways, is for people who like to specialze or do
street + a little bit of trials or freestyle. If your looking to do
everything on a unicycle of course i'd suggest KHU but if your like me
or like many others and only do street and some trials, koxx-1 should
fit you perfectly if you choose the right unicycle to fit you. It's
that simple !

Well done Max! He makes a very good point, if your trying to jump off
walls and do trials on a signature then its not going to hold to well,
but still better than taking a semcycle off a drop L*L. I personally
ride as many styles as possible, I have a Koxx-one Blue Berry with
125mm cranks. It isnt the best for trials but I still used that uni for
the CMW trials comp last year. a traditional Devil uni is great for
trials and will take some really knarly drops, but sometimes the 140
cranks may be a lil long to street or flatland. So there is the Black
Domina which is super light so that you can manuver(sp?) it well and
has 135 cranks so that you have good foot placement and a great length
for street, not to long not to short, much better than trying to use
Profiles for street, only downfall is that it has a light koxx hub so
drops are slightly limited. If you want a good uni from Koxx for all
round, Yoggi recommended me a while back just getting a Black Domina
with a reinforced hub, it can take drops and still be lighter than the
devil or street line. If you are looking for a good all around setup
without paying the price of the Domina get something from the Devil
line and order it with the 135 cranks, renegade will soon be selling
uni setups liek these, when I ordered my BLue Berry from them they
replaced my cranks with the 125s for me and gave me a 400mm seat post
instead of the 250 which coudlnt fit me...The KH is a great unicycle,
the Koxx has many great unicycles, qu-ax has an offordable strong setup
with more weight, and the same goes with Torker. But if you want a
specialzed uni for your style Koxx is king, and they even have the
parts for an all around if you order right...

Yeah I just watched it he fell jumping off the tire, but he took all
that impact into the cranks and they held!
