Phong Vu Posted June 11, 2020 Author Share Posted June 11, 2020 It's it just me, or the wheel suddenly looks huge? Compare to MSX for example: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redfoxdude Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 (edited) It looks like the effect of a wider lens, or perhaps he's standing further from the wheel. Edited June 11, 2020 by redfoxdude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

..... Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 (edited) I must say, this wheel looks like a classy understated wheel with badass intent. Makes me excited again to be waiting on my own. Why are all these reviews a prototype? Havent they started production by now? Hmm, i thought it came with the 18650. So KS is trying to split the diff between midget sized feet and american sized? Have to wait and see, but at size 11, Im a very common american foot size. I luvs me some big ole pedals.

redfoxdude Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 Super exciting! I think pre-production or early-production model is probably more accurate for these latest units. Production of the final units is supposed to be starting in a week or so, woo hoo! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not as in depth as I’d want to see ideally, but as they said, they hadn’t yet been able to ride it very much just yet.  Although, for further reviewers they really should balance the speech and music volumes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks to me like trying to go ergonomic on the sides with the cut outs might be a hindrance to people with larger feet or even those that like to wear boots/high tops with steel toe. That Rev review guy was wearing skate shoes at size 9.5 and didn’t have his toe fully in the cut out. This might turn out to be the most comfortable wheel for many but not for all.

RoCan Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 I’m also thinking there is no room for any knobbies under that mud guard. Pretty much limits it to dry weather off roading as that tyre looks pretty slick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..... Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 (edited) I highly doubt they intended to cradle your entire foot. I can see you only needing the cutout as a person would use the ankle pads on stock wheels. I tend to grab with the ankles and my toes don't grab too. I'd imagine i stand a little duck footed sometimes. I can see how power pads may still apply, as I heard mention of shins coming to the end of the onboard padding. I'd imagine it all depends on riding style and wheel power too. Hard to say about ergonomics. It should be fun to see and will be a definite learning curve regardless.

That is true, my toes do point out naturally so maybe not so important. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heyzeus Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 Personally I find these reviews always add too much music or sometimes talking over important segments where I want to hear what the wheel sounds like. Maybe it doesn't matter, but I want to hear how smooth the suspension is and I can't do that when during the bumpiest parts there's always music playing. Is it a ka chunk still like in some of the first videos we saw. I was skipping around trying to find a quiet spot but when they finally had the music down or off they were pretty much just riding on flat pavement, ughh.  3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be nice to hear how it sounds in that off-road segment in the woods/grass, but no, more music instead, yayyy. I'll stop complaining now. Thanks for the time stamps Edited June 13, 2020 by Heyzeus 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
