Then maybe Zen Lee needs to change something on his Lynx.

That's the thing.

There are factors that can skew the results.

Note: Zen Lee claims to be a paid racer. He is not a newbie. He also races on his Lynx.

Personally, I like to test ride a wheel before I buy it. I did that with my S16 Pro. No surprises. I am very happy with it. I didn't have to turn it Ito a "project wheel". It rode great the way it was.

I will attempt again to do the pull test on the v14 today or tomorrow. The problem i had last time was the tire kept spinning up and leaving burn marks on my new driveway. It also finally broke the para cord i was using to hitch it to the scale so maybe i can use cable this time. It certainly doesn't have the software limitations that the v13 has. Pretty sure i was pushing over 12kw when the rope broke.

My point is you have your evidence and I have mine. And you have your believe and I have mine. However, I disagree that Lynx has the strongest torque than any other wheels. That is my point.

The test method is described completely on page 1.
It's not complicated- please go try it and tell us what you find!

Zen Lee felt the V14 is the torquier wheel [vs Lynx], by a significant margin.

Pull force and ride feel are very different things. 

If you haven't caused a pedal dip, then you haven't reached peak pull force.

And a 16" tire diameter will be more sensitive to rider body position, so comparing ride feel across different tire sizes is quite misleading.
It's why I recommend comparing machine performance using an objective metric like pull force.

Yup. Two people are required, for testing this modern batch of ~200lb stump pullers

I'm destroying my driveway and my tire, even with 2 people standing on the pedals the thing burns up the tire.....

i only got 237 before the wheel broke loose again and started spinning out of control, my wife who was recording wasn't happy getting showered with burnt rubber.....

I will try again but i think my knobby doesn't get enough traction on pavement.

Sign of a strong motor!  

Try reducing tire pressure?

I did from the original 35psi down to 30 but i was leery about going to much lower, i didn't want to spin the rim on the tire and tear the valve stem but maybe a few pounds lower next time.

Concrete is also notably higher-mu than asphalt, might be time for a road trip to your nearest nicest parking lot.

Or if you can find out where your local street racers prep a surface...

I just wanted to comment to keep following this. This comparison sheet has always been greatly interesting to me, so I appreciate the effort to compile all this info together.
