there pretty good uni's. they are definiatly the best one out for the
money right now! they have a splined hub too! they're pretty descent
uni's. I would get one if you have the money and are looking for a nice
Muni.

If your not doing a lot of muni, it might be overkill for you.

It's a little heavy, but pretty strong, has Alex DX rim, which is a
good wide rim, and splined hub, brake mounts, reinforced frame
(although a tad heavy, I don't mind it). The seat is a lot like KH
seats.

Wait-are you looking at the 20" or 24" version?

The only quark about the 24" is the cranks (150mm) are a tad short for
climbing steep hills, but it doesn't bother me much. Overall it is a
strong, cheap uni. I've done about 5 foot drops on it.

I've had it for a while and definitely recommend it, the best uni for
the price.

just got my new 24" dx today and I LOVE IT! Although it's about the same
weight as my schwinn 24, (beefed up with a maxxis 2.4 and pinned
pedals) it "feels" way lighter, but this is probably due to the way
it's balanced. It's also bounces TWICE as easy/high. I'm telling you
this seems to be a fantastic uni/muni! I took it to my local dealer and
had them use their torque wrench to tighten the bearing caps to the
recommended 45inch pounds...VERY IMPORTANT! Also check the "pinch"
bolts and the spindle bolts on the cranks for proper tightness. I then
took it to my favorite local trail and WOW! Yes, the cranks could be a
tad longer for better climbing ease, but the 152's (6 inch) are fine
and will make my legs that much stronger, and overall speed will be
better. the guys at torker say that the Redline Proline cranks will fit
the dx, but the shortest they make is 175mm. This can be considered a
high-end uni for sure!😄 😄 😄 😄

I'm using my 24" DX for BOTH muni & trials, but mostly muni cause it's
a great way to stay in shape. Although trials riding requires stamina
as well.

Really? I didn't think he's had it long enough to do anything to it...

I don't know why everyone is freaking about the weight.

My scale reads 14 pounds... that's 2 pounds more than the KH20?

I have the 2007 model with the reinforcement and extra tire clearance.
