ninogui Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 Hello I couldn´t find any binary / .nm reference numbers. Different engine tech, but then tyre as well and the suspension effect (subtracts some power in most scenarios I guess). Which of these two would you consider to have a (even if slightly) higher torque while climbing ? And what about stopping power ? thks for some input Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post UniVehje Posted May 15, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted May 15, 2023 If you’re looking for nm spec numbers to choose between these wheels, you are not making a well informed decision. First of all, you will not find the numbers. Second, it doesn’t matter until you run out of it. Third, if you expect to run out of torque, you are looking at wrong wheels. Fourth, climbing hills is more about geometry than torque specs. Fifth, suspension is much more important than theoretical torque numbers. You are looking at very different wheels from different generations. I’ve had both and would go for V11 unless you have a specific reason to go without suspension or need lighter wheel. 18XL has better range and is very reliable. But V11 is a better wheel overall. Both have enough torque for your needs. If you know you have a very specific need for extreme climbing ability, go for a smaller wheel like Patton, T4, V12, Nikola etc. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellkitten Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 Agreed. I own both. Neither are high torque. I’d hands down go for the v11 if those are the only wheels to choose from. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninogui Posted May 15, 2023 Author Share Posted May 15, 2023 (edited) Thks guys. Forgot to say I live in a 2nd floor no elevator and marble stairs (not wood with better wheel grab) let´s see if 28kg or something (incl pads etc) isn´t much harder compared to 24kg. I´m hopeful 28kg can be carted up, but not really sure. Also I was in fact looking at the renewed pads and pedals 18XL / 16X for comparisons Edited May 15, 2023 by ninogui Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would recommend carrying it up, sorry! 🤷 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
