Ok, so I just got the new Torker LX model, it's my first one, and I was wondering what you people think of it. ( I personally like it):D

I myself have the 24" version and it is great for just riding around and freestyle. If you are only interested in just riding or freestyle, it will be a great unicycle for you. If you ever want to do trials, you will want to get something else stronger. Besides the strength factor, the LX doesn't have the tire clearance for a high volume tire. I use my LX to ride to class and for just general riding around places. I hope this helps.

I love my Torker LX since there is no limits to what you can do with it (not including trials) It's probably the best value 4 money hahaha :D :D :D

I have an older Torker LX that I regained my unicycle legs on. It's a good uni but even better when I converted the saddle to an air ride :). I think Torker did a good service by there new line. They seam to be a good all-around uni at an affordable price...

the club uni is an 07

the new frame looks stupid but other than i like it for it's designed purpose as a cheap but good beginner uni

its a good uni for just riding around on. i got mine for christmas and like to ride on it. but i tried to take it off a 7 inch drop just to see what would happen and now the cranks clicks but i can still ride it.

they reinforced where the seat tube enters the cross peice of the frame.
it now looks stupid.
thats all I know of

The seat and the fram are really nice in my opinion, especially for the price. I currently have both on my dx.

what'd they change for '07?

I thought it was just the color (new ones are a silvery sparkly color, the old ones were black). Other than that they appear to be identical.

i own one right now and it was my first uni. It is good for someone who is looking to learn how to ride flatland. I am now into trials and i bent the cranks really fast after a few jumps. I know it is not made for that kind of stuff so it shouldn't hold up well. But as far as quality wise, it is good and is perfect for any learner.:)

I also have one and IMHO it's value for money. I've also bent the cranks also, (damn streetpoles ;) ) There's no way i'm selling it. :D :D :D

its a good beginner uni but needs a bigger tire and stonger frame and cranks for trials. you can't hop well with the tire and i bent my cranks in like 6 months.
