photorph Posted September 22, 2019 Author Share Posted September 22, 2019 I'm not even more frustrated with kingsong than ever before. See this thread, my "new" kingsong with 3 km is having issues and I cannot unlock it even after 10 km. I'm stuck at 12 mph. I can't update firmware. And nothing can be done about it.

Nothereanymore Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 After owning/riding both I sold my 18XL. I doubt I will buy any current Kingsong. Future models, who knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Espen R Posted September 22, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted September 22, 2019 (edited) For my use, which is a combination of being a car replacement, shopping, picking up packages, etc in town, a daily hour long fun/exercise on/off-road ride, and 2-3-hour long weekend rides, there is only one wheel that can do all of this, the 18XL. Is it the best wheel out there, probably not? Our V10F is nimbler and nippier when it comes to in town use, but the wheel is to small and the range to short for hard off-road riding. When it comes to the kind of off-road riding I do, I’m sure the MSX and even the Monster V3 could do a decent job, but because of the XL’s narrower tire and therefore being more nimble on the roots and stone filled paths I ride, they wouldn’t be able to keep the same speed. I’ve tried a slightly wider off-road tire on the XL, which was great for grip, but it felt like wrestling a wild boar when I tried to go fast on my paths, so I changed back to the original tire (a new narrower 2.125 tire is on the way). For high speed-straight line-on-road use, a 3.0 tire would be nice, but because the laws of physics are what they are, what little you gain in high speed stability with a wider tire, you lose too much of the medium speed fun ride manoeuvrability that I love. The best wheel out there is the wheel that suits your needs, and for me that is the 18XL. Edited September 23, 2019 by Espen R 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
