hah, those are the changes id want to see, aswell as most other people
would want.
But seriously those frames need help. The bearing holders are "iffy".
If you compare the devil frame side by side with a KH frame. It really
is...well....uncomparable. haha Just the overall quality on the koxx
frames can improve. I looked at the welds on my blueberry frame and
they aren't even that great. Just quality improvement is my main
arguement.
And I know im not the only one who has a new koxx that came with a
frame the wiggles horizontally back and forth because you have to
either add an extra spacer in there, or smash ur cranks on harder.
ISIS....yea, that'd also be nice if they could actually get it right.
Removable seat covers would be a nice lil upgrade.
I like how they have alot of colors and seat designs though! that's
kewl. Koxx unis still look the best, anyway!
so i guess its just the little things that id just like to see done
right. IDK what else to say. Their stuff is still good...but would be
better if they fixed the stuff that pisses you off because it shouldn't
even be a problem..that kinda stuff. if that made any sense.

I agree that there is a problem with the ''frame wiggle'' too, which is
very annoying. Also I'll just say, (and it's probably been said before)
so far their new unis appear to be differently designed/coloured
unicycles, with the same parts!🙄

Yeh I get used to that, though I've noticed there are a few other long
hair owners on these forums (not quite as long as mine I don't think
though). You just wait til I can grow a beard... I'll be a right hippy,
and then I suppose people will just think i'm a weird girl with a beard
😕 :p

Maybe, but the XTP frames do look much meaner and more trials-y .

I kinda like the beefyness/ugliness to the bearing holders. Makes it
look tougher. But I think they may be alil too big still. because you
cant even fit one of those frames on a KH wheel properly. The Bearing
holders hit the spokes on the kh's. But maybe that's why they're Called
KOXX XTP Frames FOR KOXX UNICYCLES...idk...hehe

I agree w/ the OP.
IMO the XTP is way too expensive (even a Triton is less $). I don't
see how it's worth more than a KH, which is more versatile to boot.
Changing paint schemes is way easier than coming up w/ new or improving
existing products, to boost sales for the new year.

Ride everywhere and never just ride anywhere. If you can ride where you
are going within a hour, do it, and if you can do a trick 50-75% of the
time do it along the way.

what are you talking about? the XTP is one of the strongest trials
frames out there, and it's practically a work of uni art.
learn to spell.
didyou know that XTPs have cracked? most of the first version
production ones cracked at the neck, but haven't yet snapped (so it's
stronger than KH at least)...
but people have already cracked the second version production XTPs on
around the gussets that were welded onto the seattube-crown join.
also the triton is way way lighter than the xtp and has a higher build
quality, a friend of mine has the xtp and you can see the quality isnt
amazing as the legs aernt 100% aligned if u look down from a birds eye
view. i also seen this lack of quality in several xtps and dominas when
i went to visit friends in france. also what is better.. titanium or
aluminium hahaaa... and ti can be rewelded forever accordin to sponge
and dmitry without any after-weld defects or needing heattreatment
wheeras aluminium is never the same after reweldng or heattreating so
its disposable.
its like saying the triton is the best camera in the world that the
best photographers are looking for that comes with a lifetime
guarantee. whilsthe xtp is like the BEST disposable camera in the
world if u get me... both are amazing but one is built to last and the
other is temporary
theres a version 3 xtp coming out apparently to furtrher try to fix da
bugs with the other 2 versions.
i think the domina needs reinforcing too... but how so? without modding
it too much?
