Unventor Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 So just to be clear. Those few mins has not even bought up some curiosity how this V11 would be to ride. Now admitted the demo wheel is a little obsolete since there are so many details that has changed to production and the later 2nd batch. It is too bad you didn't get to ride it more. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty Backe Posted July 30, 2020 Author Share Posted July 30, 2020 The V11 is officially dead. Well, this has been the shortest eval of a wheel yet. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I bought the V10, it was basically dead on arrival. I didn’t give it a second chance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wounder the shower down by evX might have something to do with it. That some connection got water into it. It wound be interesting to know the cause at least. Now @Marty Backe I know you like GW (and probably the boxy look), but what do you think of the V11 now that you seen it irl? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now @Marty Backe I know you like GW (and probably the boxy look), but what do you think of the V11 now that you seen it irl? I'm very impressed with the build quality of the V11 and the amount of metal in it. Everything that holds your body to the wheel is metal. The plastic only servers to contain the batteries. And the simple way that the side saddles attach to the wheel make it possible for easy user created sides to be installed for a totally different look. 46 minutes ago, UniVehje said: Sad news.

It's back in the game First solid ride will be tomorrow. 3 minutes ago, stephen said: Was it comfortable , what was the torque like, and what range did you get 21 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zege Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Great news! Really looking forward to your first impressions riding with suspension. I would love a comparison of this and the Veteran when it comes to riding comfort. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just make sure the weather forecast doesn't have rain in it and don't ride in the ocean! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to be riding along the beach and I might have been tempted to take it through the ocean surf. It may be best if I forego that with this wheel 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That kid has it DOWN! Control, precision, restraint, looking ahead, ... Everything that makes you a good rider! Amazing kid. I do feel sorry for his crotch though, the V11 is a tall wheel, the demo unit even more so. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The idea of riding on a suspension really has occupied my head completely while riding for the last few months, up to a point where riding is not as enjoyable as it used to be. And I haven’t even tried one yet! My V11 is still two weeks out... Which is why we want so badly to see the suspension work! Can’t wait to hear you open up your thoughts on the wheel, the suspension and the rest as well! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
