  5. Will it hold up? Probably. It is the probably weakest of the splined
    unis and some people have broken the frame. But, it is fairly solid for
    the price. I have the 24" model, and it is a heavy beast. The 20" is
    lighter (i've tried one), but still heavy compared to other trials
    unis. If you want a trials now, get that. If you can wait and you can
    save up some cash, wait and get something better.

  6. yeah, i'd sort of like it now. 😄 still, i won't be jumping off
    mountains or anything so it shouldn't be too bad. as for weight, it's
    lighter than my current one!

  7. It is ok, the frame isn't the strongest and its pretty heavy but its
    still quite good. The wheelset is very strong and that is probably the
    most important thing on it.

  8. It depends how much of a weight wennie you are :P. The wheelset has a
    big big big hub, which is kind of heavy. But hey, if you break your
    frame, you can get a new YUni one fairly cheap.

  10. Pish, it's not that bad. 14 pounds I think I've heard. About the same as
    the Qu-Ax, and only like 1/2 pound heavier than like an Onza or
    something.
