well the 05 vs 07

the KH07 has got a wider and lighter rim (some people say its weaker
though)
its got a better seat its thinnger and just nicer,
its got the moment cranks/hub which is great and comes in 137mm which
is good.
its got a lighter and better frame with anti slip crown
it comes with a reinforced seatpost, but it still breaks quite easily

I think thats about it....

Basically its awesome have fun riding!

What he said, he beat me to it.
But I don't like the rim, so I ride the KH05/06 rim.
The rest is KH07.

The reason people think it is weaker is because of the drilled out
holes. These holes have been known in the bike trial world to be
weaker.

The rims tend to break at this part but I haven't heard of the '07 rim
breaking like that.

The rim breaking will have to do with how you land. If you are an
advanced rider (or build up slowly) you shouldn't need to worry about
the rim bending or breaking. Concentrate more on the hub and cranks.
They deal with your weight and movement all the time, if your rims is
landed on correctly, no worries. (Unless the drop is so big that it
ovals itself, let's get real though, big drops aren't cool anymore).
The frame is very nice for coasting and other freestyle tricks for
those of us that like alittle freestyle in our street, trials riding.
The cranks (moment) are really nice and easy to see come around with
flips and what not, and like that other guy said 137mm is very
comfortable size. Between the 05/07 model though, both are amazing. I
mean when it comes down to it, weight isn't really a factor when it's
that fractional. The 07 looks way slicker, which to me kinda matters,
since I know they will both preform amazingly. And yeah the only bad
thing is the seat post. But the kinda goes along with how you land on
it, of course i've heard some stories about it breaking from unispins
and pull ups for jumping. Then I think it was just damaged prior. Both
are amazing rides nonetheless. If you're interested -

p.s. That was a little bit for humor, and maybe someone doesn't know
those. lol

yes, i'm also confused as to why this notion of the rim being so weak is
persistant. The rim is made of a stronger aluminium than what i
traditionally used. I've been on this rim for about 7 months, and it's
held round better than the old rim did for me. Also, the extra width,
and light-weight of the rim are great. When i try out unis with dx-32s,
they seem very unstable, and always folding now.
(please note, however, that I don't usually do drops over 7 feet, and
the most stress i put on the uni is from gaps)

Untill people start blowing up these rims, i think their reputation for
being weak is totally wrong.
Anyways, i'll go out today, and hit up some fairly large drops, just to
further test these rims.
