recommanded poster,

Suggesting the single most expensive freestyle unicycle ever produced
to someone who has stated that they have a limited funds is interesting
advice.

The US has a lot of good reasonably priced freestyle unicycles and I
would just have a good look at the Unicycle.com site and you should get
a good clue as to what is available and at what price. I understand
that Torker have several models that are good value for money but I can
not suggest a particular model.

hmm.. Roger, don't make stuff up.

You have a legitimate message until the last part. Unfortunately, for
people like myself and this guy, we're on a unicycling forum to get
some good advice. I've riden around to about 4 bike shops and from my
impression of the catalogs, the Torker CX *looked* like the best one,
at the best price. Unfortunately at the last bike shop I went to, I
had the worst encounter with a one wheeled contraption that I've ever
had. It was a Torker CX and I descovered it was the most uncomfortable
hideous piece of trash I have ever sat on. And you can quote me on
that, because I'll call it "trash" again, before I call it a unicycle.

But I've got to say the CX is the beginners model. Granted, I
personally wouldn't spend money on the LX, but Torker does make very
respectable unicycles with those exceptions.

NewKid

What did I make up?

The only fact I gave was that the Koxx Signature Freestyle unicycle is
the most expensive freestyle unicycle produced. This is true as far as
I can tell; and I do have a little experience in this area. I should
I suppose clarify that we are talking about mass produced models here
not bespoke, but still.

I am in the UK. I do not have any direct experence of the Torkers
other that what I have seen when travelling which is why I said I can
not recommend models. I can only take second hand advice on this; which
is that they are generally good value.

The CX is a childrens uni, LX is a leaners, DX is a deluxe, TX is tall.

CX is the very basic of a uni, mainly used by little kids.

LX, is a very nice uni, great for freestyle stuff, nice price, very
durable.

DX, its a trials, street, Muni beast, very strong, a little heavy, and
with the new 2007 model, is one of the best for such a low price for a
splined set-up.

TX, its a giraffe, street performers get the most out of it, otherwise
you will get bored of it, unless you have a good use for one.

If you are gonna chose a Torker uni for a freestyle uni, get the LX.

How much do you want to spend?
The torker lx you can get for about $70 from ebay and would be the best
thing you can get for that little money. You say limited funds so how
limited are they?

Koxx has some good freestyle unis, check out their site, alos look
around on UDC, but the torkers are great, the LX has a flat frame,
which is good for your foot on frame, stand up tricks, or look into a
nimbus.

I have a 20" Nimbus X that I got about 6 months ago, and would
definitely recommend it as a sub $200 freestyle uni. I think they're
running around $160 or so. If you really want to be picky, the crown is
a little high over the tire, but I haven't found it to be a problem for
anything. My brother has a 24" Nimbus II which is really nice to ride
also, so I'd assume the 20" version would be nice as well. I think the
20" Nimbus II is slightly cheaper than the X by $10 or $20. I prefer
the narrower crown of the X, less bumped knees, and you can still
squeeze a 2.25" tire on without rubbing if you want more meat. I can't
say for certain since I've never tried, but I believe you can fit a
trials wheel set in the Nimbes II frame if that's something you might
consider for the future. Hope this helps.

Koxx-one makes two other freestyle unis, the slicky 20" and the free
tricks.
I'm pretty sure theyre both great unis, but there a bit pricey. the
slicky is $230? and the free tricks is $340? You can look at them on
'www.renegadejuggling.com' (renegadejuggling.com).

the torker LX is a great uni and seems very solid to me when I ride my
friends, but you will probably want to put some griptape on the crown,
because it's slippery.

also, is it possible to get the Koxx-One signature uni in the US?

I just looked at the koxx slicky 20, it goes for 160 usd (which is the
currency i am using) but it said "Jumps not recommended" that's
straight from renegade juggling, i intend on doing jumps with it of
course, I'm now looking at the Nimbus x, Nimbus II, and Torker unistar
lx. pretty much everyone has reccomended the LX so i'm leaning twords
that because not only has everyone recommended it but it's the
cheapest, is there any preference out of these 3 unicycles?

I'd pick the LX over the others for three reasons:

1) The frame is low to the wheel and wide, giving a perfect spot to
put your foot during 1 footed tricks. In my opinion it is the best
freestyle frame out of those three unicycles.
2) The seat on the LX is a good size and shape for freestyle riding.
Those other unicycles come with KH style saddles, which I think are way
too bulky.
3) Dirt cheap.

However, if you can find a way to get ahold of a Koxx freestyle
unicycle for an affordable price, I'd say get that instead.

The only reason it sais no jumps is because it's cottorless. If you plan
on doing jumps you should get a trials unicycle. the slicky is probably
better than the torker just by judging who makes it.

not recommending jumps is good advice, because it's a freestyle uni, not
a trials or MUni. It should still hold up to little stuff, and with
easily hold up to hopping, just don't go off like a 5 foot drop if you
value your uni.
