Kin HO Leung Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Nikola 17 is coming. Somebody said Nikola 17 will be the climbing king because of more motor power causing more torque. And what about the new Kingsong 16X ? Gotway Nikola, MCM5, new Kingsong 16X. Which is the climbing king? What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meepmeepmayer Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 MCM5. Nothing beats a smaller tire for torque, that's just physics. The only reason the mten3 isn't better is because it's much weaker in comparison and the tire is too small to be practical for uneven ground. The 16X seems to have a bit more immediate torque than the Nikola going from @Kuji Rolls reports. Though 'm guessing, just like MSX vs. 18(X)L, the Nikola will feel more powerful than the 16X. That might make a difference for climbing. But that's just speculation, neither wheel is released yet in its final state. See @Kuji Rolls's mountain test video with the MSX vs. the 18XL where the MSX did better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuji Rolls Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 Based on the prototypes of the KS 16X and GW Nikola, its the opposite results of the GW MSX vs KS 18XL. This time, Kingsong wins off-roading/hill climbing this time. I dont have extensive experience with the MCM5 so ill hold off commenting about that.
