We've had the three AX sizes in our store for 2 weeks now (for once, being on the West Coast helps you get things sooner!), and I've ridden them a little bit. (Full disclosure: I'm a retailer, but I've been riding for 27 years.) The AX looks like an LX, but feels much lighter. This makes for quick, responsive turns, and less effort overall, but requires a little more finesse. With gentle corrections, it's really smooth.

The crown still works for one-foot idling, even though it's gently curved. (Not as steep as other frames, and wider.) The manufacturer's picture still shows chromed posts, but they are actually black (as in the UDC photos). You may notice that the Torker photo of the 24" is not glossy like the others - it has been "computer adjusted" from silver.

Overall, I'd say the AX will appeal to anyone wanting an easy-feeling cruiser (especially the 29"), or anyone wanting to lighten their travel weight.

It must be pretty comfortable considering it is a torker. What i want to know is, will they make a coker size tire for this?? If so, when??

The seat is the Torker LX Miyata style saddle. It's not one of the most comfortable seats but certainly not the worst. I however like to equate it to sitting on a brick.

The only unicycles I have are Torkers. So, I don't have anything to compare to.

That being said, it could be more comfortable. I have thinking about changing the seat but do not know what to get.

I presume you mean a 29er bike, because it's the AX 29er that i'm looking for.

Any more feedback about the AX 29?

Looking for an XC type uni. Won't be doing any drops. Would the aluminum frame be durable enough for moderate trails over the long haul?

Sorry, I have been riding trails, but I think it is more then strong enough to do so. It certinly takes the curbs I ride off.

If there some trails around these parts I might be able to tell you more
