MDMason Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Which EUC provides the most stable and comfortable ride experience? I went from a V10 to a S18 and the improvement was dramatic. Would the above sought after qualities be equally dramatic going from the S18 to the Sherman? The riding community that has experienced the Sherman would suggest it would. I would be interested in the feedback from those who have ridden both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skecys Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Unless you are after high speed I don't think anything will give you a more "comfortable" experience then the S18 except for the V11 in certain situations. The suspension on these wheels is unmatched right now. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDMason Posted January 16, 2021 Author Share Posted January 16, 2021 Thanks for the feedback. I’m 65 years of age and 220 lbs. I’m seeking comfort and stability not speed or range. My typical ride is around 20 miles. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoGeorgeGo Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 I agree with @Skecys on this one. For pure comfort there is no comparison to the s18 and v11. Sherman is touted for speed and stability at speed, not so much for its general comfort. Add in the shermans insane weight and theres not to much comfort going on there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDMason Posted February 13, 2021 Author Share Posted February 13, 2021 GoGeorgeGo thanks for your insight. Has anyone else rode both the Sherman and S18 that could provide insights into what I can expect if I fail in my resistance and get the Sherman. I don’t want to spend that much money and realize I prefer my S18. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..... Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 I've ridden both. I still own and love my sherman, don't own a suspension wheel anymore tho. The sherman is a VERY comfortable wheel for eating miles on the street. Its weight isnt a bad thing once moving at speed. There's absolutely no comparison between the sherm build quality and the s18 imho. That, and with headroom to spare at reasonable speeds, I pick the sherman as the clear safer winner for those of us who like the OTHER side of 25mph. You really cant compare the two. The sherm has speed and range that the s18 cant even fathom. The s18 has suspension and more stuff to worry and maintain, than the sherm could fathom. Personally, I'd sell the s18 and grab the sherm. If you like the s18, then keep it and get the sherm. You really are comparing apples to oranges here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDMason Posted February 14, 2021 Author Share Posted February 14, 2021 Thanks Shane! I’m one of your subscribers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..... Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 (edited) TO be fair, you did clarify that your ride is only 20 miles and you arent a speed freak. For that kind of thing, I would suggest an s18 or v11. I can't imagine that a working suspension wheel on a lighter design, wouldnt be a better fit for YOUR criteria. Apologies, I tend to forget that riding above 25mph is NOT in everyones interests. For your criteria, i would actualy take my 18L over the sherm. If i had a working s18 I enjoyed, I'd just roll the hell out of that and save my money. Thanks for the support!
