Snowball Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 Hi there! (I checked a few threads but I was not able to find an answer to my question). I had a Kingsong 16S (V1) for about three months. My first wheel. And I loved it. After the purchase, I've heard about the new 16S (V2) with a few upgrades that include the lift sensor (that is IMO very useful). So I've decided to sell it immediately to buy the new version. I sold it for good money and the upgrade to 16S (V2) should cost me just a few bucks. BUt now I'm in doubt about this purchase. :/ Should I go with 16S (V2) or the recent revision of Gotway Tesla (V2) that includes the lift sensor too? What would be the pros and cons of these two wheels? I know the price is not exaclty the same but they are close. What would you be your suggestion? Thanks so much!

One of the new ones - the ks16x or nikola, as soon as there are enough reports available. My last choice was the ks16s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My last choice was the ks16s. I was tempted by 16X but it's a lite bit out of budget to me and maybe too pro, isn't it? Being honest Tesla is not far from it considering power. Sì your last one was a 16S. How good was your experience? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucas Alexander Oliver Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 I started on a INMOTION v8 and went to a 16sv1. And loved it. Then I got a nikola and it was a perfect progression. Barely any conditioning time and the nikola glides so freaking smooth it’s amazing it feels so great 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Morris Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 in 2019 you should not be buying a wheel with anything less than a 3 inch tire. imho 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The level of comfort and stability of a 3” tire is unmatched by any other tire out there And I really don’t think you sacrifice any maneuverability or control with these wife tires you just have to get used to it. I have a v8 with the smallest 16 inch tire and a nikola with the widest 16 inch tire and I can maneuver and control them both pretty equally after practice But the comfort, stability and control of the 3 “ tire is without a doubt superior in everyway 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s going to be a bit of a problem granting your wish. Since the tires are tubularly shaped, increasing the width increases the height as well. The rim diameter on the V8 and 16X/Nikola are already the same, so in order to keep the outer diameter at ~16”, the 3” tire would have to have a very flat profile. So it wouldn’t ride at all like the 16X or Nikola. It would probably have the Z10 tire issues as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xorbe Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 (edited) I guess make it a 15x3" then. =P To keep the outer diameter in check around 16.25" probably. Edited November 25, 2019 by xorbe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
